Klaus Schwab\u2019s Father Ran \u2018National Socialist Model Company,\u2019 Exploited Nazi Slave Labor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Davos frontman Klaus Schwab\u2019s daddy, Eugen Schwab, while the Third Reich was ravaging Europe in the 1930s and 40s, served as\u00a0managing director of Escher Wyss Ravensburg<\/a>, an engineering firm that constructed turbines and fighter plane parts for the regime.<\/p>\n While the elder Schwab worked in this capacity, the Nazis awarded Escher Wyss Ravensburg the prestigious title of \u201cNational Socialist Model Company<\/a>\u201d for all of its hard work in the service of the F\u00fchrer.<\/p>\n To achieve this recognition, Escher-Wyss Ravensburg, under Eugen Schwab\u2019s leadership, utilized Nazi slave labor and prisoners of war in its facilities.<\/p>\n Ravensburg itself, aside from the slave factory, was the site of numerous Nazi crimes against humanity,\u00a0such as forced sterilization<\/a>\u00a0for the purpose of \u201cracial improvement.\u201d But to Eugen Schwab, that was just the cost of doing business with the Third Reich.<\/p>\n You want to make an omelet, you gotta break some eggs, right?<\/p>\n Klaus Schwab\u2019s\u00a0sanitized Wikipedia page<\/a>\u00a0contains none of the gruesome details of his daddy\u2019s wartime activities, other than to say \u201chis parents had moved from Switzerland to Germany during the Third Reich in order for his father to assume the role of director at Escher Wyss.\u201d<\/p>\n Newsweek<\/em>\u00a0ran a corporate \u201cfact check\u201d<\/a>\u00a0in which they cherry-picked a falsely attributed image of Eugen in a Nazi uniform as a way to seem to disprove his connection to the Third Reich entirely. But deep into the article,\u00a0Newsweek<\/em>\u00a0subtly admits that it\u2019s all true \u2014 which almost no one will get to, thanks to short attention spans:<\/p>\n The posts shared online in May, 2022, claim Klaus Schwab\u2019s father, Eugen Schwab, was a close ally of Hitler, and include a photo of the World Economic Forum leader alongside a man in Nazi uniform\u2026 the photo shared online is not of Eugen Schwab, but of Nazi general Walter Dybilasz\u2026 Klaus Schwab\u2019s father, on the other hand, was the managing director of a subsidiary of Zurich-based engineering\u00a0firm Escher Wyss.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n The history of Eugen\u2019s relationship with Nazism in general is complex\u2026 Eugen Schwab was a member of some National Socialist organizations, but that alone does not prove any relationship to German high command or a belief in Nazi ideology. While the Escher Wyss branch in Ravensburg, Germany, (which Eugen managed) used prisoners of war and forced laborers, it is not clear whether the company was forced to do so by the Nazis or because of a lack of workers.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n So, Eugen Schwab was an avowed National Socialist, and yes, okay, his firm did use Nazi slave labor. But, you see, that doesn\u2019t mean he was a Nazi. And maybe Escher Wyss had<\/em>\u00a0to use slave labor to make their products for the Nazis because of a worker shortage.<\/p>\n This is a common tactic in corporate media: Take a false claim that circulates on the web (in this case, an image incorrectly identified as Eugen Schwab) and use that single post to discredit the entire factual connection between Schwab and the Nazis.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Der apfel f\u00e4lt nicht weit vom baum (The apple doesn\u2019t fall far from the tree) Klaus Schwab\u2019s Father Ran \u2018National Socialist Model Company,\u2019 Exploited Nazi Slave Labor.
