I recently was in the BMW museum and they actually had a whole section dedicated to their Nazi past and how they want to never do that again. Do with that what you will but at least they're not shoving it under the carpet.

Back when I worked at IBM, there were a bunch of flags hanging in the cafeteria that represented every country where IBM did business. We often wondered, why wasn't there a Nazi Germany flag? After all, IBM did sell a ton of machines to the Nazis to keep track of Jews and other undesirables, in order to commit genocide. I wonder why IBM wouldn't want people to know about that? /s
Doing business with Nazis because it's profitable. Nazis died, BMW regrets.
Doing business with fossil fuel because it's profitable. Earth dies, BMW regrets.
I see a pattern here
Hmmm... Maybe we shouldn't prioritize profits over all else?
Nah, nvm. That can't be right.
Nah they literally used extermination camp forced labour, that much we know without doubt so they were pretty damn complicit. Tried to research whether BMW ever actually made gas vans, but couldn't find a definitive confirmation or good evidence to the contrary from a reputable source, so gonna say they might have.
Fun fact: The grandmother of the current BMW owner Gabriele Quandt was literally Magda Goebbels. No, seriously.
On a similar note Deutsche Bank literally funded the Nazis and to this day is still doing shady shit like the numerous money laundering scandals and also being involved in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal. For each of those, including funding the Nazis, they merely got a slap on the wrist as they're literally still allowed to exist as one of the top 10 biggest banks of Europe.
Yes, but for justice they would have had to arrest half of Germany and find prison guards that do not sympathise with the prisoners, so 99% foreigners. It was just impossible without Germany collapsing. And they probably wanted to avoid another treaty of Versailles.
They did nazi that coming
Now that's a classic reddit comment right there. The more things change, the more they stay the same lol
It's missing the "Anne Frankly" opener.
i think that pun’s older than the internet
Other than the giant swastika, does it bother anyone else that the kerning is uneven? The B is farther away from the M than the M is from the W.
I thought Germans were supposed to be sticklers for detail!
Yikes, I also looked into the background of Ferdinand Porsche, and man, he was a real Nazi summabitch.
Hitler was directly behind the development of the VW Beetle with Porsche doing the engineering work.
Not a good look ehh?
Is that even legal to post in Germany?
Considering BMW is one of the worse profiteers from WW2 it probably classifies as satire or something else art related!
