Advertising postcard depicting an electrical component manufactured by AEG. Imprint 'Kf 1/V 1036. 2.31'. Ref: 28.10.1933 28th October 1933 AEG Aktiengesellschaften Advertising postcard depicting an electrical component manufactured by AEG. Imprint 'Kf 1/V 1036. 2.31'. Ref: 28.10.1933 AEG Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft (General Electricity Company) Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft AG was a German producer of electrical equipment. It was founded in 1883 by Emil Rathenau as the Deutsche Edison-Gesellschaft für angewandte Elektricität in Berlin. AEG donated 60,000 Reichsmarks to the Nazi party after the Secret Meeting of 20th February 1933 at which the twin goals of complete power and national rearmament were explained by Hitler. They joined with other large companies such as IG Farben, Thyssen and Krupp in their support of the Nazis, especially in promoting re-armament of the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe, and Kriegsmarine During the war itself, they were to use large numbers of forced labourers as well as concentration camp prisoners, under inhuman conditions of work. AEG worked extensively with the Nazi party in Poland. AEG was forced to relinquish Kabelwerk Krakow, a cable manufacturing plant, to the Nazi party. Kabelwerk Krakow was located in Krakow-Plaszow and used forced Jewish labour manufacturing cables from 1942 to 1944. In 1943, AEG began to relocate goods and evacuate workers. Goods were relocated to various places, including Berlin and Sudetenland. When installing electric and lighting systems for the Waffen-SS training grounds in Dębica, AEG used forced labor from Jews placed in the Pustkow labor camp located in south east Poland. During World War II, an AEG factory near Riga used female slave labour. AEG was also contracted for the production of electrical equipment at Auschwitz concentration camp. AEG used slave labour from Camp No. 36 at the new sub-camp of Auschwitz III and also known as Monowitz, called 'Arbeitslager Blechhammer'. Most of them would die in 1945 during the death marches and finally in Buchenwald. AEG was a major supplier of grips for P38 pistols manufactured by Walther Arms, Mauser, as well as on the early wartime Spreewerk P38s. In an effort to express regret for its use of Jewish slave labour in World War II, AEG joined with Rheinmetall, Siemens, Krupp, and I G Farben to pay DEM 75 million in reparations to the Jewish Claims Conference. In 1945, after the Second World War, the production in the factories in the western sectors of Berlin - what today is the building of the headquarters of DW (TV) Deutsche Welle - and Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Mulheim an der Ruhr resumed and further new works were erected, among others an Electric meter plant in Hameln.

Commercial postcard sent from food manufacturer 'Nestle' in Berlin. 8th January 1934 Nestle Commercial postcard sent from food manufacturer 'Nestle' in Berlin. Nestle Nestlé was formed in 1905 by the merger of the 'Anglo-Swiss Milk Company', which was established in 1866 by brothers George and Charles Page, and 'Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé' founded in 1867 by Henri Nestlé. The company grew significantly during World War I and again following World War II, expanding its offerings beyond its early condensed milk and infant formula products. Nestlé felt the effects of the Second World War immediately. Profits dropped from US$20 million in 1938 to US$6 million in 1939. Factories were established in developing countries, particularly in South America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the company's newest product, Nescafé ('Nestlé's Coffee'), which became a staple drink of the US military. Despite that, Nestlé actually supplied both sides in the war: the company had a contract to feed the German army. Nestlé's production and sales rose in the wartime economy. Commercial cover sent from Nestle to an address in Mannheim. Circa 1946/47. Ref: 16/66 The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth accelerated and numerous companies were acquired. In 1947 Nestlé merged with Maggi, a manufacturer of seasonings and soups. Source: Wikipedia Food giant Nestle said Monday it is paying 25m Swiss francs ($14.6m) into a settlement with Holocaust survivors and Jewish organisations to meet possible claims over use of slave labor during World War II. 'It is either certain or it may be assumed that some corporations of the Nestle Group that were active in countries controlled by the National Socialist (Nazi) regime employed forced labourers,' the group said in a statement. It said it would contribute to a $1.25bn settlement agreed by Switzerland's two largest banks. 'Nestle expects this contribution to cover all possible legal claims that might be raised against it both in Switzerland and abroad,' the statement added. Nestle companies operating in Germany and Austria will make voluntary contributions to those countries' foundations to compensate slave labourers, it said, but did not specify amounts. Some Swiss companies allegedly used slave labour in German subsidiaries or subsequently took over implicated German companies. Nestle has said that, in 1947, it acquired a company that had used forced labor in the Nazi era. Under huge pressure, the two banks - Credit Suisse and UBS AG - reached their out-of-court settlement in August 1998. This provided for the release of all claims not only against the two banks but also against the Swiss government, the central bank, other commercial banks and Swiss industry. But when U.S. District Judge Edward Korman approved the settlement 26th July, he stated that 'those Swiss entities that seek releases (from slave labour claims) are directed to identify themselves ... within 30 days.' Switzerland's main employers' organisation urged any company which might have used Nazi forced labour to come forward. Nestle said that it in many instances did not own the corporations involved at the time and was often unable to 'exercise effective control' over those it did. 'As the legal successor of such corporations, Nestle nevertheless accepts its moral responsibility to help alleviate human suffering,' the company said.
