Krupp forced-labor and war-crimes history
Krupp used forced labor during the Second World War, including foreign civilian workers, prisoners of war and concentration-camp inmates. Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was convicted in the postwar Krupp trial for crimes against humanity. This history concerns the predecessor company and remains part of the historical record of the later Thyssenkrupp group.
