Thanks burnz,
I didn’t turn up much on Pittsberg steel or ministry of war, but this paper https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/vie...xt=hist_honors The Silent Partner: How the Ford Motor Company Became an Arsenal of Nazism was a gold mine … and perfect for the Ford Forums ![]() Still I think his title’s a bit click-baity. Even what he presents doesn’t make the case of Ford supplying weapons. It sounds a lot like Ford-Werke Germany was being patriotically pro-Nazi and the Americans were trying to do business (of course) even with Nazis. Which I guess is ok, seeing as how they weren’t at war. Not great in hindsight! Henry Ford himself was anti-war and against making money from war. As old mate says: The aging Ford blamed the “munitions makers and profiteering financiers for the present war clouds” and hoped that “if war does come, let them start by bombing munitions plants behind the enemy’s lines.”Ford still made shed-loads off the war, but much more on the Allied side than they did off the Nazis. Anyway I don’t see that it’s America supplying weapons to both sides. Definitely not in the way they supplied weapons to the UK and the USSR anyway. More in the way “Pigiron Bob” Menzies made money supplying iron to the Japanese before the war. Ooops! |

What about’ism doesn’t count.
Anyone that thinks murdering people because they’re “Ukrainian”, is sick. There are a few here that think “it’s Ok”, I think they’re NOT Ok. |

Accurate estimates of Ukrainian losses are hard to obtain but here is a fairly comprehensive list.

ford sold cars, troop tansport, APC, Engines specific to tanks for Germany only. MOW provided intel and logistics for both sides, later renamed DOD (department of defence)

Remember Putin is a politician not a soldier so "No" he is not a legitimate target but would be held accountable for any war crimes if he sanctioned them.

That’s an aspect of Ford’s history I didn’t know much about. Cheeky buggers sued the US government after the war for damaging their factory as well! Still didn’t find anything on the tanks and APCs though. Tank engines seem to be mainly Maybach, got any specifics? I still think it’s drawing a long bow to say “America” supplied both sides. Like saying that because some Americans fought for the Nazis (Volksdeutsche etc) that America did. Different thing. As this article says America's declaration of war on Germany in December 1941 made it illegal for U.S. motor companies to have any contact with their subsidiaries on German-controlled territory.https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-sr...nazicars30.htm So not quite the same. Anyway thanks for the knowledge! Might have to rethink my allegiance to Ford and switch to BMW, … er … Mitsubishi … ah … never mind |

I observed American news for a while and all the add breaks were consumed by pharmaceutical companies, but they had to list/say all the side effects, including death. Never saw one of these covid vaccines advertised. |

Economics. Advertising is to sell a product and TV advertising is damned expensive. As most of the vaccines were sold to governments they never needed to be advertised.

They had free advertising done for them from the general population. You only need to look back through the Covid thread. :P

Drugs approved under emergency use can't be advertised direct to consumers but once that is ended the manufacturers were free to run ads like this one. https://www.ispot.tv/ad/qWjv/pfizer-...ng-bruce-brown Notice how they don't mention any side effects. |

Why on earth are you even on this forum? You give nothing of value.Do you even own a car? Just a sarcastic individual.

So, if Putin ever visited the front line like Zelensky (not that it’s likely to happen), would he then be a legitimate target? I’m struggling to make a distinction based upon where someone is directing a war from. Thanks |

Claims that Zelensky has been targeted a number of times.
https://www.newsweek.com/volodymyr-z...russia-1686329 This is a war; compliance with rules is a bit flexible. |

Thanks. I guess then using logic provided elsewhere in this thread that makes Putin a coward. Sorted. |

When you move into a state of recognised armed conflict (which Russia/Ukraine have) and you are dealing with a head of state who has tactical control over their armed forces, then he/she becomes a legitimate military target.

Is it urban myth or true that in WW2 there was several chances for the allies to take out Hitler later in the war, and they chose not to as removing him at that stage would have benefited the German side?
