  It’s history and for educational purposes. It’s perfectly legal.

  Considering BMW is one of the worse profiteers from WW2 it probably classifies as satire or something else art related!

    Yeah but facts like that hurt Germans too much, they get all uncomfortable about history.

    They want all that profit and tech, but no shame about how it was obtained

      This is not at all a view that is based in reality, Germany has made it mandatory in their curriculum to learn about the atrocities committed by the Nazis in the war and bring the schools to concentration camps to drive home the depravity of their history.

      What a bullshit take. Germany is noted for how they have handled their history, in stark contrast to Japan who do not acknowledge the atrocities they committed and shy away from public knowledge of them.

        Iirc I’m pretty sure they haven’t apologized for all the horrible shit Unit 731 did to the Chinese and actively go out of their way to pretend stuff like the Rape of Nanking never happened.

        How many executives and shareholders were convicted for their crimes? Did any profits get dislodged? Seems like people who benefit front these crimes are still holding nice bags of profits and assets.

        Also, you glossed over how BMW and other corps would import slaves to work their factories. Do they teach that in German schools or just topics in vogue like camps?

      That's not true at all, Germans make a big effort in remembering what they did and making sure it keeps being remembered.

      As opposed to my country, Italy, where the attitude after the fall of Mussolini was "uh, oh well".

        Italians get the flair “side switcher” in the awesome subreddit 2WesternEurope4u. Probably the main thing I miss about Reddit.

      this reads like a joke, it's so far from what i see from germans and germany.

        They were getting Germany confused with Florida and profit/tech with alligators/meth. Easy mistake.
