  • Introduction
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-01636-1 - The Politics of Industrial Collaboration During World War II: Ford France, Vichy and Nazi Germany Talbot Imlay and Martin Horn Excerpt More information Introduction In October 1944, two months after the Liberation of Paris, François Lehideux was arrested by the French police and charged with ‘intelligence avec l’ennemi’–with having collaborated with the Germans during the Occupation. A product of the elite École libre des sciences politiques with considerable experience in finance and industry, Lehideux had been at the centre of the Vichy regime’s economic policies, serving as commissioner for unemployment, delegate-general for national (industrial) equipment, and state secretary for industrial production.1 In each of these positions, he worked closely with the German occupation authorities. But it was Lehideux’s activities as the director of the professional organization for the French automobile industry, the Comité d’organisation de l’automobile et du cycle (COA), created in September 1940, that appeared the most damning. From 1940 to 1944, the automobile industry had worked over- whelmingly for the Germans, delivering some 85 per cent of its produc- tion to them. Collectively, French automobile companies had made a major contribution to Germany’s war effort, and as the industry’s political chief, Lehideux was deemed to be directly responsible. Lehideux vigorously – and, ultimately, successfully – defended himself against the charge of collaboration. In 1946, he was released from prison and three years later the case against him was dismissed. As with many of those accused of collaboration, Lehideux pleaded a combination of patrio- tism and extenuating circumstances: he had defended France’sinterestsat a difficult time when choices were extremely limited.

Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics.

Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1.

Honors Program in History (Senior Honors Theses). 17. https://repository.upenn.edu/hist_honors/17 A Senior Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Honors in History. Faculty Advisor: Walter Licht This paper is posted at ScholarlyCommons. https://repository.upenn.edu/hist_honors/17 For more information, please contact [email protected]. The Silent Partner: How the Ford Motor Company Became an Arsenal of Nazism Abstract Corporate responsibility is a popular buzzword in the news today, but the concept itself is hardly novel. In response to a barrage of public criticism, the Ford Motor Company commissioned and published a study of its own activities immediately before and during WWII. The study explores the multifaceted and complicated relationship between the American parent company in Dearborn and the German subsidiary in Cologne. The report's findings, however, are largely inconclusive and in some cases, dangerously misleading. This thesis will seek to establish how, with the consent of Dearborn, the German Ford company became an arsenal for Hitler's march on Europe. This thesis will clarify these murky relationships, and picking up where the Ford internal investigation left off, place them within a framework of corporate accountability and complicity.
