Just remember Henry Ford , or the Bayer companie that seems that were they who offer Zyklon B to the nazis and not the nazis who ask they for it .
But as steel god says , "the Holocaust would have certainly happened without the aid of IBM punch cards " , this can be aplied too for Bayer or other industries . The industries are not really guilty to help nazis , but maybe some of his owners and directives are .

WWII was over 65 years ago, my father wasn't alive then and I am 40 years old. Many people did some terrible things, especially the Nazi's. And many people did things they can't be proud of, the catholic church turning a blind eye, the Russians allowing the massacre at Warsaw, the British and Americans firestorming the population centres of Germany and Japan. The list goes on.

The entire population of 1930's Germany was not evil. If WWII showed us anything it is that under the right social influences even perfectly rational and reasonable people can perpetrate or at least turn a blind eye to, terrible crimes.

So IBM supplied a data tracking system to Nazi Germany. It happened over 70 years ago. It's time to move on.
