The name; Krupps rings a bell - that brand name was on my last coffee
perculator.

Great to see that you put so much effort in when researching your facts :)

That is how a lot of the non-grocery lines work; send set lot to a
store and there until sold out, which can be one days or longer.

Thanks to those who replied. As a non-Aussie I didn't know that. :)

In the UK we have mostly Aldi and Lidl, my town only has Lidl.

Looks like Germany really won the war after all!!!

Vast amounts of looted gold and treasures that were never accounted for
and the prosperity of certain German companies seems just too much of a
coincidence.

Not Aldi and Lidl, however. They are just very efficient at what they
do.

Nothing to do with Aldi and Lidl, however. You should be looking at the
sweat shops that English and American companies source clothes from. Like
Bangladesh and other countries that pay workers fuck all. Aldi and Lidl
derive most of their turnover from food items, most of which comes from
within the European Union.
Have you scrutinised Apple, for example???

I wouldn't touch apple with a barge pole.

The pricing structure is geared to the type of consumer that buys an
artificially expensive product to show off that they have more money than
sense.

To make matters worse, their closed architecture locks you into whatever
they see fit to foist on you.

One recent documentary suggests that the EU is pretty much based on
the Nazi economic plan, that has just been dressed up a little for
the modern age.

Care to enlighten me on the title of said documentary? I'm curious.

Best I can give you is; I think it was on the Yesterday channel on
Freeview, they do all the World at war type documentaries.

Ok, thanks.

Recent breaking news reveals that a deathbed confession has led the
authorities to a Nazi treasure train hidden in a sealed up tunnel
somewhere in Poland.

They expect to find; weapons, documents, gold and possibly art works.

Yeah I heard about that a few weeks ago and several 'journalists' have
since rushed to Poland to interview anyone who might know anything. I
didn't know 'authorites' were involved though, other than a claim being
laid for a finders fee. There may have been developments since I last
heard... That was that two men represented by a lawyer are waiting to hear
the results of their request for a cut before anything alse is divulged.
Several 'experts' seem to think it's unlikely to eventuate though.

It seems there have been development. Google gives me this;
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/02/nazi-gold-train-poland-to-bring-in-army-to-help-in-hunt
Click to expand...

I thought they'd already found it.

The news footage I saw showed overgrown railway tracks apparently
disappearing into the side of a hill.

They showed pictures of inside a tunnel, but stated; "a tunnel like this
one" - the same may apply to the tracks they showed.

It's just plain prejudice without facts.
Just because they used slave labour in the war doesn't mean they do it
now. In fact, it'd be a ridiculous claim. So picking on them makes no
sense. It's rather the case that we all use slave labour. We can't even
avoid it.
Since you don't seem to know the difference between Krupp and Krups
means you can't even be bothered to google the name. You would have a
case with Krupp as they do make money with weapons, but that is not
really unusual for such a company, is it?
If you don't like Germans that's fair enough, you don't need to like
them. But do you really want to hold a grudge against the grandchildren
of the war generation?

If you talk to a German you will soon find out that they despise
the Nazis and all that the Nazis stood for. Today Germany is accepting
thousands of refugees, fleeing from wars that Germany has nothing to do
with.
It is pathetic that Australia via that gutless north shore bastard Tony
Abbot do not do more for the refugees that his policies are creating.

Nowhere near as ridiculous as you putting words in my mouth.

I never suggested that they continued to work concentration camp slave to
death beyond the war.

The point that was obviously too subtle for you to comprehend is, some of
the German companies that exploited concentration camp labour, have done
rather well for themselves since.

Germany didn't even want to be at war with Britain, through the whole
duration they kept making representations to Britain - they wanted to team
up and go sort Russia out.

Even as Germany lay in ruins, the surviving Nazi generals were attempting to
get talks with the Western allies to form up and march on Russia.
