Oregonblitzkrieg's made up history
Oregonblitzkrieg has been using Ford as an example of corporate greed.
That Henry Ford allowed the use of slave labor in Nazi Germany.
It is a lie, it is bullshit, and he is a fucking dick fuck for trying to use that as an example as he wears clothing that was likely made in China, which is considered slave labor by American standards.
Fuck off ...
You're full of shit.
A fucking Jew found the Nazi's had secured management of Fordwerks and used the labor AND profits to fund their war machine.
Quit referencing Wikipedia and Huffington Post for your "history".
If you think Hitler was letting money out of Germany during the war ... you are fucked in the head.

Ford received the grand cross of the German eagle from Nazi officials. Hitler kept a portrait of him in his office. His company helped equip the German war machine before America entered the war. Dispute these facts with evidence. Until then, fuck off and stick to whining about how unions are making your business go underwater. The rest of us don't give a fuck. It's acceptable collateral damage if it means cheaper gas.

Ford and Charles Lindbergh are among my favorite Americans

"Ford eagerly collaborated with the Nazis, which greatly enhanced its business prospects and at the same time helped Hitler prepare for war (arid after the 1939 invasion of Poland, conduct it). In the mid-thirties, Dearborn helped boost German Ford's profits by placing orders with the Cologne plant for direct delivery to Ford plants in Latin America and Japan. In 1936, as a means of preserving the Reich's foreign reserves, the Nazi government blocked the German subsidiary from buying needed raw materials. Ford headquarters in Dearborn responded-just as the Nazis hoped it would-by shipping rubber and other materials to Cologne in exchange for German-made parts. The Nazi government took a 25 percent cut out of the imported raw materials and gave them to other manufacturers, an arrangement approved by Dearborn. According to the US Army report of 1945, prepared by Henry Schneider, German Ford began producing vehicles of a strictly military nature for the Reich even before the war began. The company also established a war plant ready for mobilization day in a "'safe' zone" near Berlin, a step taken, according to Schneider, "with the. . .approval of Dearborn." Following Hitler's 1939 invasion of Poland, which set off World War II, German Ford became one of the largest suppliers of vehicles to the Wehrmacht (the German Army). Papers found at the National Archives show that the company was selling to the SS and the police as well. By 1941 Ford of Germany had stopped manufacturing passenger vehicles and was devoting its entire production capacity to military trucks. That May the leader of the Nazi Party in Cologne sent a letter to the plant thanking its leaders for helping "assure us victory in the present [war] struggle" and for demonstrating the willingness to "cooperate in the establishment of an exemplary social state."
The Nazis took control of the manufacturing process.
Did they use Ford's technology, yes they did. Just as we used Germany's engineer to help us develop bombs, etc.
Research shows Ford management did not support, nor did they profit from Germany's use of Ford's plants.
I know it is difficult to understand how people can warp history. Just as some say FDR knew of Pearl Harbor and let it happen.
Think real hard ... do you think the US Government would have allowed Ford to aid the enemies war efforts? They were rounding up Japs for Gawd's sake!
History repeats itself.
