[kj] Killing Joke and the U.S.

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Ford Werkes, a division of Ford, manufactured light infantry vehicles 
for the Nazi army. American bombers found themselves in the odd position 
of having to bomb plants in Germany owned by Ford because, well, those 
plants were cranking out German army vehicles! Ford's own website 
admits/has pics of this:

Ford sued the US government for these losses and the motherfuckers won 
compensation from the US govt.

There are a lot of unflattering stories like this, like IBM selling 
Nazis adding machines; and Volkswagen and others making equipment for 
the Nazis, and a lot of those companies are not only still around today, 
but are doing just fine for themselves.
