    Forced labor in wartime production

    Research into the Quandt family's wartime industrial network found that DWM-related factories used forced civilian laborers, prisoners of war, and concentration-camp workers from 1940 to 1945. The company's wartime history was later examined in the documentary The Silence of the Quandts. Denazification proceedings in 1948 did not result in significant repercussions for the owners.
