Continental Tire Admits Like Most German Companies In Nazi Led Germany, Committed Wartime Atrocities

If you paid attention in High School history class you probably already knew this.

009 I must respectfully disagree. While certain companies in their present state may not be responsible for actions of the past they still often benefit from those actions. IG Farben still benefits from from advances and profits made during the Nazi era. If you’d like to speak about countries. The German economy was crippled by sanctions and payments after the war but they still benefitted from the technology which is what helped them pay the fines levied upon them.
I personally think one of the best examples is what France did to Haiti which is why they still have to worst economy in the world.

Predictably Tyrone and Blakrapura want something in repayment for something they never lost.

Like slavery and the civil war, these crimes and redemptions belong to other generations. No business of ours to harvest them for further pain or exploit them as some way of feeling better about ourselves.

However there are those that do like to bring up the dark past and hold it against generations that never committed the atrocity demanding an apology.

T-Bone: The remnants and negative impact of slavery still exist today. In my opinion, you'd have to willfully ignore all the signs of it. Minorities are still systemically at a disadvantage equal in this country.

The past is the past. Once in business I met one of the world's largest collectors of Nazi memorabilia. His collection was creepy, extensive and intriguing. For example, he had a silver dish with an inscription pledging allegiance to Mein Fuhrer. It was from and had the corporate logos on it of Shell Oil and Standard Oil. The gentleman thought his collection would become valuable over time but the reality was no one wanted items possessed by pure evil.

We must never forget.

That is why these stories and admissions continue. No different than the USA sitting on the sidelines until December 1941. It was more profitable to sell arms to Germany than to fight them. The culpability was widespread. Canada sent back boats of Jewish refugees in the late 1930's instead of stepping up and giving them refuge. Jewish lives simply did not matter then. We are all much more tolerant now, but much work is left to be done as anti-semitism and racism in general still exist in 2020.

We dont agree about much. But those are wise words.

Or the Holodomor, communists under Stalin used NKVD to starve 4 million Ukrainians. The communists used the Gulag to kill millions of "enemies of the state." All history must be remembered.

CC: Thank you for those comments
T-Bone: You are >> somewhat << correct. We must not forget so hopefully history does not repeat itself.

You can’t whitewash history and should learn from it. Off of this list is Hugo Boss that made uniforms for the Nazis, Porsche whom designed the Tanks and other military vehicles, Mercedes made mobil gas chamber trucks and yes Dupont (American) sold gun powder and other chemicals to every country who could buy them and the biggest victims of all were the Jews and antisemitism is alive and well today and sadly only getting worse. How soon we forget history only to repeat her mistakes. Shalom Israel!

Antisemitism is definitely a live and well today and the Democrats who are brown-washing the religion of terrorism are hellbent on destroying Israel.

MD will call this 'HOAX'

And you will deny that the Democrats are blind to Muslims and the terrorism they export. You will also deny that the Democrats want Israel destroyed.

Hilter and the Nazis aren’t even close to slaughter that was committed by Stalin. While Mao killed more than both Hitler and Stalin combined. Interesting that the left isn’t demanding reparations from China or Russia.

I hate the fact that the americans nuke Japan in the past, but I also do not forget the fact that Japan was one of the most cruel and mean nations. In the other side we see germans at the light of hitler but they were one of the nations who help jewdish when russians were wkiling them. So we do not need to forget?.. I think we need to forget, otherwise we won´t be able to forgive and creat a better future for our frgile world, Forgive means to forget.

Final note, because we are not willing to forget, We are dommed already. Only God will be able to fix this mess. And yes not all the Muslims are terrorist, but alsmot ALL terrorist are muslims so MDarringer sadly is right about the democrats, and If we continue in tha path Sharia will be accepted in the future as part of "our" culture.

Right now you have the “Democratic Socialist, the Communist, the AntiFascist Fascist, and the Jihadi Muslims all trying to bring down the US and the western Democracies. If it happens then they’ll turn their attention to each other.
