The British in WWI used a Krupp designed fuse under license, on their
artillery shells. Every one of those shells that the British fired at the
Germans resulted in a payment to an escrow account to be paid to Krupp at
the end of hostilities. A bit of irony there.

That was kind of my point, that most of the support U.S. companies have
been criticized for giving Hitler happened before the war.
The companies profited from their German subsidiaries in the period
between when Britain, France & Germany went to war, but once the U.S.
entered the war, they had no actual control over the German subsidiaries.
They did kind of gloss over how the German subsidiaries had made profits
the U.S. companies collected after the war was over.

Much of this of course was in the mid 1930s when the world was still
not sure what to think of Hitler. The British were initially
supportive as well, and companies from around the world traded with
Germany.
