Forced labor in wartime production
Historical research into the Quandt family enterprises documented the use of forced civilian laborers, prisoners of war and concentration-camp prisoners in associated factories, including DWM-related operations, between 1940 and 1945. The issue received wider public attention through the documentary The Silence of the Quandts. Denazification proceedings in 1948 produced no substantial repercussions.
