The Nazis used the latest card punch tech to track people and facilitate the mass killing of people.
Joseph Stalin famously used the telephone in the middle of the night to make calls leading to the mass murder of thousands during his reign.
Churchill and Roosevelt used the first application of spread spectrum technology to securely communicate. This led to the deaths of millions of Axis personnel.
