Around 50 of the nation's biggest corporations have signed an open letter on the 80th anniversary of the victory over Nazism

Dozens of Germany's most prominent enterprises have acknowledged their responsibility for allowing Nazi tyrant Adolf Hitler to rise to power. In a letter published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the corporations, including Siemens, Uniper, and Volkswagen, have admitted that their forebearers' greed and silence contributed to Nazi crimes.

"The Nazi seizure of power in 1933 would have been unthinkable without the failure of the decision-makers of the time in politics, the military, the judiciary, and the economy," the collective statement marking the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII in Europe said.

Many German companies "contributed to consolidating the Nazi rule" and were "complicit" in the Third Reich's crimes as they were solely driven by the desire to make profit, the document added. The list of signatories included a total of 49 brands, including Adidas, Bayer, and BMW, as well as several major German banks, Deutsche Bahn, and Lufthansa.

The companies stopped short of taking direct responsibility for the crimes of their predecessors and said instead that they "assume responsibility for making the memory of the crimes of the Nazi era visible."

"In 1933 and beyond, too many remained silent, looked away," the companies said, adding that this past silence "imposes responsibility… for the past, the present and the future" upon them. The companies vowed to "stand against hatred, against exclusion, and against anti-Semitism" and called for the "achievements" made by the EU after the end of the Cold War to be protected.

The murky Nazi-era history of the biggest German corporations and families that largely control them has repeatedly appeared in the media. In 2022, former Bloomberg journalist David de Jong released a book titled 'Nazi Billionaires', which detailed the ties of companies such as Porsche, Volkswagen, and BMW to the Third Reich.

According to the book, Germany's biggest automakers are still controlled by families that profited from Nazi rule. Some of their holdings include American brands ranging from Panera Bread to Krispy Kreme, in addition to luxury hotels across Europe.

"Businesses and many families in Germany were never really de-Nazified," de Jong said at the time, adding that companies are only transparent when they are no longer controlled by the families of former Nazi collaborators.
