The German newspaper Bild was grim reading for one of Germany’s richest families on Sunday.
Reimann-family, which is good for more than 245 billion dollars and among other things, the owner kaffekæden Espresso House, kondommærket Durex and tøjmærket Calvin Klein, could among other things read that their ancestors were dedicated nazis who supported Hitler financially and made use of the kz-slaves in their factories.
– It is everything together correctly. Reimann senior and junior were guilty. They are dead now, but actually learned in prison, says Peter Harf who is the spokesperson for the family and one of two directors of the Reimanns gigantvirksomhed JAB Holding, to Bild.

In the Bilds detection, it appears that the Reimann family, in spite of that, according to the newspaper, Germany’s second wealthiest clan is very secretive and never gives interviews.
But now they have been forced forward in the face of Bilds detection, which is based on a very convincing proof. From the archives in Berlin, Ludwigshafen, Karlsruhe, Paris and Washington. The letters and documents, the journalists dug up, they received a professor Christopher Cups from Bielefeld University to assess.
My assessment is that the Reimann belonged to the group of the convinced nazi entrepreneurs. Many joined the first party, when the nazis had come to power, but Reimann was already in 1931. They were certainly not mere political opportunists, but dedicated nationalsocialister, says the professor, who has specialized in the German economy during the Second world War.
