Hi Craig, of course war is hell and the factories as far as I know
were properly bombed.  Of course this was not too healthy for the
unfortunate slave labor.  However it is clear that so to speak after
the dust cleared those major industrialists were back at the same old
stand--hey our guys protect their own.
