Henry Ford's Factory

JUUL, i agree what you say but i think that it was with wolswagen and not ford.

Hmmm... We're both right.
But before I continue with the main topic: It's called "Volkswagen" - and the "V" is said like "F" (I know it's a little strange but that's how the Germans say it).
Anyway, a lot of companies used slave labour in Nazi Germany. You can read more about it here:
The Awful Truth - Nazi slave Labour
And yes it is Michael Moore , who has made it.
Hail Michael Moore!:goodjob: :goodjob: :goodjob:
 
And it wasn't just Germans. Renault was forcibly nationalised in France after WW2 because the company profiteered and built for Nazi Germany.
 
I don't know if anybody would be interested in this, but here is a song about Henry Ford. It is written by David Rovics, one of the best protest singers since the golden days of Bob Dylan.
Here is the text. Visit Rovics' website at www.davidrovics.com

Henry Ford was a Fascist by David Rovics:
Ford built tanks for the Nazis
And the Nazis used those tanks
To kill off lots of soldiers
In the U.S. Army ranks
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
And a nasty one was he
He'd build tanks for anyone
For the proper fee

Henry Ford spoke to his lackeys
And he said, "isn't this great?
"We'll attack our enemies
"And we'll retaliate!"
Henry Ford was a fascist
And a cunning liar, too
A brownshirt with a swastika
Draped in red, white and blue

Henry Ford spoke to his workers
And he said, "you dare not strike!
"You must be patriotic
"And take on my Third Reich!"
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
And he had not a care
About the dying soldiers
That made him a billionaire

Ford built tanks for the Nazis
And he built many more
To kill off lots of peasants
In Peru and Salvador
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
I heard that when he died
The last words to leave his lips
Was "arbeit macht frei"

The dollar was his icon
On whichever shore
And Henry's only motto
Was "make money and make war"
Yes, Henry Ford was a fascist
That's all I have to say
I will spit on Henry's rotting grave
Until my dying day
