Yall really need to open a history book or just research shyt. Everyone been knowing this. Not shooting Adolf (Adi) or Rudolph (founder of Puma) any bail but they didn't really have a choice at the time. The Nazi's tapped them when they took over and they made shoes for the German athletes. Adi actually invited Jesse Owens to pick up his shoes in 1936 Olympics b/c he was such a fan. And we know how he embarrassed those Nazis back then. Rudi was more of the politician and party man where Adi was just more interested in design and athletics.

Theres a movie about this on amazon prime called Adidas vs Puma. Adi Dasler and rudi dasler made Adidas in the 20s. Adi designed the gear and rudi was more involved in the business end. They pretty much gave hitler a bunch of gear for the german soldiers to train in.

The movie painted rudi as the full on nazi, and the brothers split because of it (allegedly). Rudi went on to create puma, adi stayed with adidas.

adi dassler is also short for adolf dassler :wow:

Operation Paperclip - Wikipedia

"Before his official approval of the program, President Truman, for sixteen months, was indecisive on the program.[10] Years later in 1963, Truman recalled that he was not in the least reluctant to approve Paperclip; that because of relations with Russia "this had to be done and was done".[35]

Several of the Paperclip scientists were later investigated because of their links with the Nazi Party during the war. Only one Paperclip scientist, Georg Rickhey, was formally tried for any crime, and no Paperclip scientist was found guilty of any crime, in America or Germany. Rickhey was returned to Germany in 1947 to stand trial at the Dora Trial, where he was acquitted.[36]

In 1951, weeks after his U.S. arrival, Walter Schreiber was linked by the Boston Globe to human experiments conducted by Kurt Blome at Ravensbrück, and he emigrated to Argentina with the aid of the U.S. military.

In 1984, Arthur Rudolph, under perceived threat of prosecution relating to his connection—as operations director for V-2 missile production—to the use of forced labor from Mittelbau-Dora at the Mittelwerk, renounced his U.S. citizenship and moved to West Germany, which granted him citizenship.[37]

For fifty years, from 1963 to 2013, the Strughold Award—named after Hubertus Strughold, The Father of Space Medicine, for his central role in developing innovations like the space suit and space life support systems—was the most prestigious award from the Space Medicine Association, a member organization of the Aerospace Medical Association.[38] On October 1, 2013, in the aftermath of a Wall Street Journal article published on December 1, 2012, which highlighted his connection to human experiments during WW2, the Space Medicine Association's Executive Committee announced that the Space Medicine Association Strughold Award had been retired.[38][39]."

Five million is frequently cited as the number of non-Jews killed by the Nazis. The Holocaust did not just affect Jews.
