> IBM never seemed to have gotten into that business (yet?) of recording and selling every American's data for ads. Maybe not Americans, but they did pretty well from doing it for Europerans from 1936-1945. [1] and rather than ads, the Hollerith cards IBM supplied by the million tabulated the census data from 1930s Europe into Jew / Not Jew rather nicely. When the death camps were liberated there was a special unit assigned to makes sure the leased Hollerith machines were returned to the USA safely. Thomas J. Watson was one of four Americans to receive the Order of the German Eagle [2] [1] http://ibmandtheholocaust.com/ http://ibmandtheholocaust.com/ [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_German_Eagle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_German_Eagle
