    Never mind the fact that anyone involved in that project is long since dead.

    It’s like assuming someone is a Nazi because their great-grandfather was a Nazi.

    Fucking stupid. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to bash on shitty companies doing shitty things without resorting to baseless bullshit.

      Not to mention, does anyone really think the Germans would have come out and said “hey, wanna help us murder 6 million people?” Fuck no, it probably looked like any other regular government contract.
