Same as Hugo Boss made SS uniforms, a lot of german people and companies at the time just went along. Even if they didnt wholeheartedly swallow the propaganda, even if they quietly hated the Nazi regime, they saw those that spoke out beaten, killed or straight up vanish. Some of the companies willingly stuck their heads in the sand and just went along because they knew that to resist was to mark yourself, and to cooperate was to profit.
better than IBM I guess
Just curious, what did they do?
They did what they were told and didnt argue.

Oh I knew what BMW did, I was just asking about IBM
There is a book about it: IBM and the holocaust.

Hugo Boss, the guy, was a major nazi though. Active party member.
