Description
Concludes that although many managers as individuals undoubtedly shared, on some level, the National Socialist vision of a German-dominated Europe in which Daimler-Benz would play its part, and although this company seems to have been particularly bad in allowing a climate and culture of racism to permeate the activities of the company at shop-floor level, it did not take ideological self-identification with the regime to become complicit in barbaric practices or acts.
