ok so your saying that germany bought stuff from ford in the states. Then it magically made its way accross the atlantic ocean full of u boats, on a us flagged shipped and dropped them off at a german port...?
Sorry if im alittle skeptical about all of that. The actual logistics behind those articles would indicate otherwise. Im a history and war person. But even if this was said to take place prior to america entering the war on december 8, 1941. America couldnt sell anything to an axis power since the british were our allies and at war with germany. Ford couldnt sell an axis power anything because most companies were under dod contracts during the war. If i recall correctly alot of those contracts will say that they cant sell or help a foreign power during a time of war without the treat of treason.
Edit: I read a few of the articles more in depth. It wasnt henry ford that sold and build stuff for the germans. It was some of the companies that ford owned in europe before the war began. Their leadership, one of which was french, is whom sold the germans anything. Not ford himself.
This was in nazi occupied europe though and they probably had to do something for the germans since the plant was covered/surrounded with germans.
THIS!
Speaking of Nazi germany I have a picture from the BMW or MB museum and the 1940s part of the wall is just blank.
