It’s worth noting that the nazis were probably not very kind to company owners and employees who refused to heil. It’s easy to be virtuous 80 years later on social media without ever living in a totalitarian society.

Also, a lot of German companies from that time that are still around are very much aware about their past and don’t shy away about acknowledging their role if it comes up. Naturally not very proudly so.
