[kj] Killing Joke and the U.S.

[fluke fluke]

It doesn't matter . They were paid to do it and they probably didn't realise what they were for .
The German population at the time didn't know about the impending holocaust , the German public were unaware of what was going on.
    You cannot imply that these companies were compliant in the Nazi war effort , big business in entwined and you cant expect one Country not to have business dealings with the rest of the World.
   The only people that should have been held accountable was the people that orchestrated the Holocaust and other atrocities during WW22...and they were held accountable .
   Mentioning Companies that were around in Nazi Germany and implying that they were compliant  is an unnecessary slur on their current good name
