Summary

This chapter dissects the defects of both the prosecution and defense cases at postwar trials of German big business figures, and then the role of German corporations in creating and propagating a legend of corporate “decency” under compulsion during the Third Reich for decades thereafter, while also concealing the surviving corporate records that would have undermined this legend.
