Wow who would've thunk it....

The "media-shy" Quandt Family are the principal shareholders in BMW and are now being implicated of war crimes

The result of five years of research into the Quandt family's wartime activities, The Silence of the Quandt Family asserts that Afa, the family's battery company that supplied specialized power cells and munitions to the Third Reich, employed slave labor provided by the Nazis. Documents unearthed as part of the research show that the company appallingly estimated that approximately 80 of its forced laborers would die each month at its factories. The film included testimonies from survivors who attested to the subhuman working and living conditions, as well as from former Nuremberg war-crimes prosecutors who asserted that, based on the evidence previously hidden by the Quandts and now revealed, the family would have been convicted of war crimes.

Re: Wow who would've thunk it....

kind of confused... are they saying their family used to do this or this shit is still going on? it doesn't shock me at all that it happened way back when hitler was around, but if it's still going on today.... wow. it sounds like its all in the past.. still, i'd hate to be related to a family that was involved with that whole regime.

Re: Wow who would've thunk it....

dude...not to belittle the suffering of the time, but probably just about every German company helped out the Third Reich during the Second World War period. What else would anyone expect? They're GERMAN companies! It's not like they'd have had a choice anyways.

Is there a statute of limitations in international law regarding obstruction of justice? after reading that, That's the only way I can foresee someone having a successful lawsuit, which would subsequently make it possible to litigate war crimes charges. (I'm not a lawyer, but I play one on TV)
