54 years after the end of the war, lack of restitution for the work and suffering of the millions forced to work for the Reich War Economy has turned into an international legal dispute. This collection presents new studies that reveal how General Motor's and Ford's subsidiaries in Nazi Germany became involved in the Hitler regime and its crimes.
