Your delusional if you believe that IBM computers were not used by the Nazis. I've seen the actual lease and service contracts. The service contracts being of most significance. IBM employees were dispatched on a monthly basis to service the IBM punch card machines. In some case, the computers were actually located in the extermination camps. Thereby proving beyond any reasonable doubt that IBM was in fact entirely aware of what their computers were being used for. Their employees assisted the Nazis in setting up the system, which included how to categorize the prisoners, and how they would be disposed of.
If you are going to be a student of history, come to your conclusions based on facts, instead of picking and choosing whatever disinformation that confirms what you would like it to be. I chose to use IBM as an example in this case because being among "computer people", it would most effectively illustrate my point. And, I'll wager that it is information that many of the readers are aware of.
Those who don't learn from the lessons of history, are doomed to repeat it...
