(Edit:)
Here is Full facts review of the claims (which apparently don't appear in the paper's peer review version):

> They're quite literally the paper that supported Hitler.
Okay. I get it. Hitler was bad. His ideas were bad. His methods were bad. We can talk about how bad Hitler was all day.
But a lot of companies _back then_ had ties to the Nazi party. Things change, companies lay off and hire on, people learn. Let's try to eliminate this trend of disregarding anything someone says due to something that happened almost 100 years ago.
IBM supported the Nazi party. They're now a leader in quantum research.
Volkswagen is one of the largest producers in Germany and was literally created by them. They now actively support their LGBT members at work.
BMW, same thing.
Bayer manufactured a bunch of the chemicals used in the holocaust. Now they are a large producer of life-saving medication.
There are many reasons not to like Daily Mail. Let's not reduce ourselves to obsolete association just to cop-out of an otherwise valid point.
Its like if IBM refused to make anything except for holocaust management tech...
Maybe its unhelpful? It just amazes me anyone will touch the DM with a barge pole...
Can you cite these claims?
Here's a song about it written in 2010: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBT6OSr1TI
Song's punchline: "It's absolutely true because I read about it in the daily mail /s"
This is speculation - you have no sources to back this up.
However they are certainly supplying China, a regime widely acknowledged to be committing genocide. Whether their chemicals are directly used for genocidal purposes seems academic? They do not care either way.
"Fuck the Daily Mail"
Also, the Metro, the free UK tabloid found on buses etc is also produced by the Mail Group, so I only use it to wrap my compost in for the street side bin.
But don't believe me, click the link I provided before your comment. It's all there in black and white. Or just Google "the paper that supported Hitler".
