Ford truck parts

GM car and Tank parts

ITT aircraft parts

Explosives

Hugo boss Made SS uniforms

silversmiths and Gold smiths made the Fancy SS insignia rings and the Silver SS Daggers

that was why the Nazis Built a British POW camp Inside the Auschwitz complex to prevent the Allies Bombing

the site at Buna was Poland's Biggest Coal Reserves Used to make all the Synthetics

as you can see Auschwitz was what kept Germany in the war past 1942 that was why the Nazis put a British POW camp Inside Auschwitz to prevent the allies Bombing the Complex

the SS had a recuperation Hospital and a SS surgery inside Auschwitz

apart from the Occasional Bombing of the Railway line leading to Auschwitz it was the safest place the Nazis held and only fell to the Russians In 1945

everything was documented and the Guilty was decided on their signatures and admission of Guilt most played yes I did that But I was Only obeying Orders

today after the USSR fell the German Government located the Nazi archive containing 50 million files the Nazis were Great Book keepers we know who when How many who Authorised it and why
