@alanheath Philips at Eindhoven was attacked by the Allies on one occasion I think.What they were contributing to the Nazi war effort I don't know.Stiil came as a surprise to hear that they were involved here though.
@llewesa100 I don't suppose they would have given it much thought once they got the orders it. It is alleged by the Bosch company that Robert Bosch was an anti Nazi but it did not stop them using slave labour!
@alanheath I was reading online about the extent of Dutch collaboration with the Nazi's.Doubtless there were many brave people who protected individuals and saved lives but unfortunately apparently this has provided a smokescreen for more sinister events going on behind the scenes.Jewish assets that had been confiscated never being returned to survivors and stocks and shares being resold for a hefty profit.Biggest SS FOREIGN LEGION contingent was from the Netherlands allegedly.
@llewesa100 The largest foreign SS contingent was indeed from Holland.
The Netherlands has a fund from former Jewish assets which it donates to Jewish communities - I believe some of it goes to the Warsaw community for example.
I thought Phillips was a Dutch company?

@usenetposts It was not just German companies involved. IBM for example is an American company which supplied the Nazis with technology.
