[kj] Killing Joke and the U.S.

Oliver,



Yes, I know that lots of German companies were heavily involved with the Nazis, but what I'm trying to get to the bottom of is your suggestion that Ford was as well.  So far, you've provided links to the 1998 beginnings of a class action against Ford; do you know what happened to that action, and / or do you have any info about it that doesn't come from the claimants themselves?

And another about Bayer, the German company that makes aspirin commonly fund in US homes: 
 
"As an I.G. Farben subsidiary during World War II, Bayer entered the darkest period in its history. Recently publicized evidence suggests that I.G. Farben furnished experimental Bayer drugs for tests on concentration camp prisoners. The company stationed scientists at the camps to oversee human research, and provided at least a portion of the funds that supported the horrific experiments of Joseph Mengele, the notorious Nazi “Angel of Death.” I.G. Farben produced the Zyklon B gas used in countless executions, and the company reaped handsome profits from factories set up near the Auschwitz and Maidanek prison camps to benefit from ready access to slave labor."
