I said exactly what I meant. .

As for Hitler, many large American corporations did business with Germany until war was officially declared. Some firms, like ITT, even continued directing the operations of their German subsidiaries until the international telex cable was cut.

Once war was officially declared many companies ceased doing business with Germany, and indeed it was very difficult to do so even if they had wished to continue. Yet some companies like International Telephone and Telegraph did continue operating within Germany through their German subsidiaries.

I do not know if Standard Oil of New Jersey (Exxon) had any agreements with I.G. Farben, but if they did, they did not include any rights for Tetra-ethyl lead as Farben had none to give.

While I doubt there is any profitable transaction that Exxon would find too morally repugnant to engage in, there is no reason to suggest they have engaged in crimes they weren't imaginative enough to think of.
