• Nuremberg:
Some pretty profound words spoken below by General Telford Taylor at the Nuremberg trials where he reminds everyone about IG Farben's campaign of 'wholesale enslavement and murder' - he also describes how they were the 'warp and woof' of WW2 and warns everyone how they would do it again given the chance.

Also thought this quote was an insanely relevant one.
• Whitewash:
Turns out the directors of IG Farben got off with ridiculously light sentences at Nuremberg and by 1952 all had been granted early release from prison.. reportedly thanks to American high commissioner (and Rockefeller man) John J. McCloy.
The Nuremberg Tribunal dissolved the IG Farben cartel back into Bayer, Hoechst and BASF and many of the directors were simply returned to their corporate executive positions of high power.
Article:
• Most Nazi War Criminals Were Set Free, Went Back to Bayer, BASF, Modern Day Pharma Giants.
One example being Dr. Fritz ter Meer who was sentenced to just seven years (but only served four) and "by 1956 he was not only out of prison but back as chairman of the board of Bayer again".
Another example being Otto Ambros who was responsible for the planning, building and running of IG Auschwitz and got the 'toughest' sentence of eight years (but only served four) - and after his early release he became consecutive 'deputy chairman, chairman or board member in a dozen chemical companies'.
In fact it's reported that today each of the 'three daughters' of I.G. Farben is twenty times bigger than IG Farben was at its height in 1944 and there's more info below about Nazi NSDAP involvement in 'big pharma' leading right up to the 1970's.

Quote:"What these men did was done with the utmost deliberation and would I venture to surmise, be repeated if the opportunity should occur"
Also thought this quote was an insanely relevant one.
Quote:• "These IG Farben criminals, not the lunatic Nazi fanatics, are the main war criminals. If the guilt of these criminals is not brought to light and if they are not punished, they will represent a much greater threat to the future peace of the world than Hitler if he were still alive.”

Quote:Did you know that some of the worst war criminals in Nazi Germany were set free? They held high management positions in the chemical monopoly IG Farben, and they went right back to high positions at Bayer, BASF, German banks, and other positions of power, unfazed by the Nuremberg Trials.

Quote:Dr. Fritz ter Meer, a director of IG Farben who was directly involved in developing the poison gas, Zyklon-B, which killed millions of Jews, was sentenced to seven years in prison but was released after four years through the intervention of Rockefeller and J.J. McCloy, then U.S. High Commissioner for Germany. An unrepentant Fritz ter Meer, guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity, returned to work in Bayer where he served as Chairman for more than 10 years, until 1961.

Quote:IG Farben and the History of the “Business With Disease”
More importantly, for almost three decades after the Second World War, BASF, Bayer and Hoechst each filled its highest position, chairman of the board, with former members of the Nazi, NSDAP:
Carl Wurster, chairman of the board of BASF until 1974 was, during the war, on the board of the company manufacturing Zyklon-B gas
Carl Winnacker, chairman of the board of Hoechst until the late 70’s, was a member of the Sturm Abteilung (SA) and was a member of the board of IG Farben
Curt Hansen, chairman of the board of Bayer until the late 70’s, was co-organizer of the conquest of Europe in the department of “acquisition of raw materials.” Under this leadership the IG Farben daughters, BASF, Bayer, and Hoechst, continued to support politicians representing their interests.
