3. Awful, thanks for posting this enlightening article:

Krupp was released from prison in 1952; after his death in 1967, the foundation he had established began funneling money into charitable causes and public works, focusing on science and education. In 2001, the foundation gave 10 million Deutsche Marks – the equivalent of about $7.6 million in today’s U.S. currency – to what is now Jacobs University Bremen to build its first residential college, named for Krupp.

And he is hardly the only Nazi collaborator whose name is showcased publicly in today’s Germany..

The country is strewn with streets honoring Wernher von Braun, who built rockets used to kill civilians in Allied nations; more than 10,000 concentration camp prisoners died constructing these weapons.

There are also streets named for Friedrich Flick, whose steel empire was built on the expropriation of Jewish businesses; Max Ilgner, an executive for IG Farben which produced the Zyklon B gas for the Auschwitz gas chambers; Albert Reinmann Jr., whose plants abused prisoners to the point where even the local Nazi Party office had to step in; and Ferdinand Sauerbruch, who headed the medicine branch of the Third Reich office responsible for authorizing horrific experiments on concentration camp inmates.
