    Ford’s factories in Germany have used “ostarbeiters” during the war, aka Soviet POWs, taken to Germany as slave labour

      At least this story is not getting worse.

      Are these the USians who were compensated after the war because their German factories were destroyed?

        Don’t have that information, sorry. Although it does sound plausible that the likes of aforementioned Ford would get compensated, I don’t have such data.

        Yes, Ford sued the US for destruction of their plants in Germany, the same plants making numerous war machines, and won.
