Hugo Boss never designed the snappy uniform, that was a certain British comedian who got that one wrong. They did however- like may others- manufacture uniforms. Sorry to go off topic, but you know how these threads sometimes run.

And don't forget Dr Oetker, the SS doctor
Before we get too far off topic, I would like to know more of that one.
I read Rudolf Oetker was in the Waffen SS with some sources saying he fought on the Russian Front (didn't they all?) whilst others state he was some kind of Beamter who was quickly returned to run the family business. I never read about a "Doctor" connection which probably would only be one kind of tale. There doesn't seem to be much info out there

What about IBM, Ford and Coke? Just to name a few?
Fanta was invented in Nazi Germany out of necessity, after the Coca Cola company placed an embargo on the export of ingredients to the German plant.

The company didn’t place the embargo, the US government did.
Thanks for the clarification. I’ll amend my original thread.
