True, but some of them (like GM, IBM, Shell, Kodak, and several banks) CONTINUED to do business with the Third Reich pretty much to the end of the War. And THAT is what is problematic...
And doing business with them from 1939-1942 might have been "legal" but everyone knew what the Nazi's were up to. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral, ethical, or good. Pursuing profits from a regime you KNOW is hell-bent on conquest, genocide, and establishing a world-wide totalitarian empire is inexcusable. The only reason the US Government made it against the law in 1942 was because we were forced to "officially" enter the War because of Pearl Harbor (itself a pseudo false-flag, because the Navy brass KNEW the Japanese were planning some sort of huge attack on the base--why else would they move EVERY SINGLE carrier out of the Harbor a few days before?)

Sort of like now, where we are fighting a "war on drugs" here in the US, but using US Marines to help guard and cultivate opium in Afghanistan, and using aircraft owned by Halliburton and Dyncorp to fly the processed opium and heroin to Asia and Eastern Europe for sale.
Or like the BAFTE has been actively engaged in arming the Mexican Drug Cartels for several years.
On and on and on...
What is it going to take for all these
"coincidence theorists" to admit that, yes in fact, rich and powerful people occasionally DO get together, make long-term plans, and then carry them out, outside of the normally accepted bounds of law, ethics, and morality?
