Air war question

[Herr Schacht]

Thought this is not directly related to this thread, as businesses have grown and become more international, it becomes more impossible to isolate themselves completely from the policies of the countries they operate in.

Though this is less relevant today as thankfully there are no looming global confrontations, this thread reminds me of a circumstance that arose following WWI.

In William Manchester's great book, "The Arms of Krupp", he cites an instance where Krupp successfully sued an English arms company following WWI (the company name escapes me) for royalties related to a pre-war agreement to share technology on an exploding shell. Krupp won a settlement and recieved payment. Now that's irony.

Anyone seeking knowledge on wartime business in general, and the military industrial complex in particular, should read this book.
