Linde AG’s involvement in Nazi-era armaments production and forced labor
Historical accounts state that Linde AG benefited from Nazi Germany’s rearmament economy, supplied equipment connected with military production, manufactured oxygen and helium installations for IG Farben at Auschwitz, and used several hundred forced laborers in its production facilities during World War II. These activities are a significant ethical and historical controversy associated with the company’s past.
