Henry Ford sold trucks to the German Army. The SS used an IBM punch card system to keep track of concentration camp inmates.

That the ones made in Germany are incredible machines and the ones made in the US are marginal.

Now that is some impressive German efficiency. Ahead of their time in everything.

In 1934, with many of the above projects still in development or early stages of production, Adolf Hitler became involved, ordering the production of a basic vehicle capable of transporting two adults and three children at 100 km/h (62 mph). He wanted all German citizens to have access to cars.[8] The "People's Car" would be available to citizens of the Third Reich through a savings plan at 990 Reichsmarks (equivalent to €3,747 in 2009)—about the price of a small motorcycle (the average income being around 32 RM a week).[

Using this reasoning we should all drive what?

All the German, Italian, & Japanese marques are off-limits

GM? Bailed out, immoral
RAM? FCA is Fiat (Italy)
Jag, Land Rover? Nope Tata, India fricked the Brits
Vulvo? Nope, Geely (China)
Mini-Cooper? Naw, BMW
All the POS Frenchy brands collaborated

So Ford is it?

I laughed my arse off when good ole Mitch the bitch used Krupp machinery to take down the Lee statue.

I know the irony was lost on him, but damn.

- Hugo Boss made some of the Nazi uniforms.
- L'Oréal supplied the Nazis with materials used for gassing people.
- Henry Ford was a hard core Nazi and attempted to use his dealer network to distribute Nazi propaganda (most dealers didn’t cooperate).
- Fanta was created as an alternative to America soda for Nazi consumers in WW2.

Even if Ford cars didn’t suck, Henry Ford’s own op-eds were used in literature for Hitler Youth.

Pretty bad blemish as far as legacy goes.
