8. My SO's father told me of the surprise that he and other American soldiers felt when they saw
Nazi soldiers driving the exact same model Ford as they were driving. This is also talked about in Henry Ford and the Jews by Neil Baldwin. Her dad refuses to drive a Ford to this day.

Another U.S. business that actively dealt with the Nazi regime was IBM. The IBM Hollerith machines were used first for census but then changed to include punch holes to show family history, illness, religion going back into the ancestral line, mental health, and most importantly whether one was Jewish. This machine followed on to the camps. The numbers tattooed on ones arm was a match to his/her Hollerith card. These cards became ones life record. This included transfer to various camps, labor done in the camps, health, and finally death.
When these machines would need serviced or repaired an American or American trained tech would come to the camps and repair the machines. Also, duplicate records of the cards were held in one or more of the U.S. offices of IBM.
Please see IBM and the Holocaust by Edwin Black

Also, the cards were used to keep records of Aryans. Military and birthing worthiness, and # of births by Aryan women as that was their most important jobs leading to a world full of little Aryans.
