Sorry, but while he may have been a great industrialist, Henry Ford was anything
but a "good man".
He was a documented anti-Semite, who wrote articles, books, and gave interviews
about the so-called Zionist conspiracy.
He was a committed anti-unionist. While he's entitled to that opinion, the
hiring of thousands of armed thugs to injure and kill workers who were trying to
organize a union at the Ford plants was reprehensible.
He was an avid supporter of Hitler's regime right up to the time of America's
entry into WWII. At the time of Germany's invasion of Czechoslovakia, 1/3 of
Germany's land vehicles were manufactured by Ford of Germany, whose directors
were hand-picked by Henry.
And while his plants did produce hundreds of thousands of Jeeps, along with B-24
Liberators and airpane engines, his company profited handsomely from those
efforts. In fact prior to WWII, Ford Motor Company was on the verge of
collapse, and the War probably saved the company.
These are all documented facts.
regards,
frank
