O.T."Funnily enough, there was an article in the New Zealand Herald today saying that Ford and General Motors subsidiaries in Germany made a handsome profit from the Nazi war machine. "US auto firms labelled Nazi helpers" is the heading on page B1. They quickly switched to military gear when the war began. So USA companies were helping the enemy. 'Catch 22' covered the fun and games of who was bombing what and why in WWII."

When I was a kid (a million years ago), I recall seeing an advertising photo from WWII depicting Nazi Stormtroopers toasting with their Coca-Colas. Does memory lie? Could the picture have been faked?

Of course; but Joe Heller (speaking of Catch-22) was right: the Milo Minderbinders of the world know no ideals but filthy lucre. OK; clean lucre too.

There's enough guilt for everyone.
