Yes. Ford literally supported Hitler, and received a Grand Cross of the German Eagle. Ford's contributions to the nazi war machine cannot be understated, and you could possibly say he was indirectly responsible for hundreds if not thousands of Allied deaths, not to mention the slave labourers he used in
Ford-Werke plants.
