Family dynasty behind BMW admits to using 50,000 slave labourers during Nazi era
The dynasty behind the BMW luxury car marker has finally admitted using slave labour, seizing Jewish firms ('Aryanisation') and doing business with the highest echelons of the Nazi party. Gabriele Quandt, whose grandfather Guenther employed 50,000 forced labourers in his arms factories, producing rifles, artillery and U-boat batteries, said it was 'wrong' for the family to ignore its Nazi past. He spoke out after an in-depth study by historian Joachim Scholtyseck, commissioned by the family, that concluded Guenther Quandt and his son Herbert were responsible for numerous Nazi injustices.
