Another example of this involvement of american companies in Germany´s WWII
efforts: The backbone of the german transport system was the Opel Blitz-truck.
Opel was and is the german sub-company of GM...
In 1940 GM´s president even received the iron cross. But of course you can´t
expect the american government to mess with a company this size...

Cheers,
