The Boston Globe has a series based on 3 million declassified documents from the CIA on WWII.

The Secret History of WWII

Of particular interest to some people here might be Part VII: Cloaked Business - How Allied companies covered their deals with the Axis.

"IBM and the Holocaust" just scratched the surface of this interesting, yet verboten subject. I've heard anecdotal statements that US soldiers saw Ford-made tanks on "the wrong side", incidentally.

Doc, I have a feeling you'll appreciate this. I've read about Dow Chemical's co-operation with I.G. Farben (of Zyklon B fame)here and elsewhere.

Ah yes. IG Farben.

Did you know the BASF company was formed when IG Farben was broken up in 1946? Give you one reason why I don't buy BASF anything, and it's in the board of directors and who's on it.

(Hint: Not all the Nazis in Germany got thumped with vim and vigor when the country was being reconstituted on non-Nazi lines)

This is astonishing material, clock -- thank you so much. It's all of interest to me.

Doc, the Village Voice wrote recently about How IBM Helped Automate the Nazi Death Machine in Poland.
