        Zyklon-B, the pesticide used in the gas chambers, was still being manufactured, sold and used (for its intended pesticide usage) all the way up until the 2010s iirc.

        and this was still under the Zyklon name.

        Not that it makes it any better, but at least they tried hiding operation paperclip. Hopefully indicating some kind of shame.

        Volkswagen didn’t even change their name

        Barely changed the logo

      If you see what was done to VW, I think it makes sense though. Not really familiar with the histories of the others in relation.
