German oligarchs: Don't ask who originally owned their companies before 1933.
Porsche ๐ Volkswagen ๐ Bayer ๐ Hugo Boss ๐ Adidas ๐ Puma ๐
Mercedes!
I think they were referring to originally Jewish-owned companies that were taken over. Aren't these or at least some of these founded by the nazis themselves?
Volkwagen was a (Nazi) state founded company. It is one reason why the Nazis were popular because they genuinely gave people jobs with re-industrialisation (albeit on borrowed time because of excessive government spending, and of course with how history unfolded).
Hey now, they wouldn't exist without the help of IBM, Ford, and Standard Oil.
What I hate the most is how they always try paint themselves as a family business. Little family business called BMW with 150k employees, producing millions of cars each year.
