| Top 10 Businesses That Collaborated With The Nazis Posted: 05 Mar 2013 09:00 PM PST Nowadays many companies refrain from openly discussing their collaboration with the Nazi regime and who can blame them? After all, it’s bad for business to have your image associated with a dictator who time and time again has been portrayed as the most evil man in history, due to the atrocities committed by the fascist during World War 2. What is even worse is that people are slowly starting to forget that WW II actually took place and, as the old saying goes, those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. Two generations later and the international politics are already starting to fall into the same old traps that lead to a world at war in 1939. But we digress. Naturally, considering that the Nazi party exercised control over virtually every industry in Germany and since it was beginning to look like they were going to be the winners of the conflagration, many corporations sided with them. Some even played both sides, as you are about to find out. From the hundreds of companies that aided Hitler in his world domination plans, let’s find out the top 10 most famous ones that still exist today
1. Hugo Boss was responsible for making the Nazi fashionable
2. Volkswagen built the Beetle model according to Hitler’s specs
3. Bayer developed and manufactured Zyklon B
4. Siemens played a major role in the construction of gas chambers
5. Coca-Cola created the Fanta beverage for the Nazi soldiers
