As I recall from Charles Higham's TRADING WITH THE ENEMY, Du Pont, GM (recall that GM's largest stockholder at the time was the Du Pont family) and possibly other US companies -- rather, I'm sure other US companies, but I don't remember which ones -- had factories in Germany that were destroyed by Allied bombing and consequently received financial compensation from the US government after WWII. ________________________ Blair Sandler [EMAIL PROTECTED]
