So many good products are German.

Meile
Bosch
Mercedes
Audi
Bently
Volkswagen
Aldi and Lidl - known nazi connection
Siemens
Ect

So many brands had connection to nazis. Ford, IBM, Hugo Boss, Chanel, baccarat, Chase, ….

If we wrote up a comprehensive list it would be pretty long.

Here’s a list actually. Horrifying. And long. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik.....caust

They established a nursing home for Holocaust survivors after the war and their children served in the IDF.

Artificial Vanilla is made in Germany, when I was a young girl there was someone who I knew who would not eat it.
She did not eat any commercial products that had artificial Vanilla in them. No bakery cakes, cookies, ice cream and I am sure a bunch more. I thought it was an allergy until I was an adult and found out why.

So interesting! I tried googling to see if that's still the case, doesn't seem so, but artificial vanilla was invented by German scientists.

Even the word German (typing it now more than ever) looks so Nazi-y... Apologies to the poster upthread who is German!!

Plot twist, it was taken over by French Jews after she died. They escaped to America during the Holocaust. And they were the first to donate to Israel after October 7th.

ITA but we’d be avoiding so many brands. Look at the list o posted. Even Chase bank had ties! I had no idea. It’s definitely not comprehensive. They are missing so much more.

Chase- Assisted in the sale of Nazi war bonds (Rueckwanderer Marks) to German Americans.

And stop buying those ridiculous Baccarat butterflies- Produced propaganda items for Nazi State and Vichy Collaborating State.
