Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

When the game is over, the Kings and Pawns all go into the same box.

GM built fighter aircraft.

Grumman built a TBF assembled with PK screws (sheet metal screw) so that GM could dis-assemble it with ease to learn how to build the TBM.

Its a Porsche King Tiger

Porsche King Tiger lost to Henschel proposal. "Porsche turret" is in fact the turret Krupp originally designed for the rejected Porsche vehicle, adapted for the Henschel. So nothing Porsche in constructed King Tigers

The only Porsche design that reached production stage is the  Ferdinand (for Ferdinand Porsche)/Elephant. Offspring of the also rejected Porsche proposal for Tiger I.

Dupont invented Teflon for use in our atomic bombs. 

The bomb engineers felt a need to encase the core of the bombs with something totally inert and solid. 
They found out later that it's great for frying pans too.

Kodak used concentration camp labor...
Hugo Boss made Nazi Uniforms....
Siemens used slave labor to build gas chambers and used them the gas the slaves that built them...
Ford profited heavily from both sides during the war...  Henry Ford hated Jews..  Got a medal from Hitler..
Standard Oil (no Exxon, BP, etc) profited heavily from both sides of the war...

Harley Davidson produced the WLA motorcycle (45 cubic inches, whoa baby!), BMW produced that BMW R75 (well known sidecar model)
