"Did Ford SAF sabotage the German war effort by deliberately manufacturing fewer vehicles
than they could have? Ford SAF claimed after the war that they did. Exploring the
nature and limits of industrial collaboration in occupied France, Horn and Imlay trace
the wartime activities of Ford Motor Company's French affiliate. The company began
making trucks and engine parts for the French military; but from 1940 until Liberation
in 1944 was supplying the Wehrmacht. This book offers a fascinating account of how
the company negotiated the conflicting demands of the French, German and American
authorities to thrive during the war. It sheds important new light on broader issues
such as the wartime relationship between private enterprise and state authority; Nazi
Germany's economic policies and the nature of the German occupation of France, collaboration
and resistance in Vichy France, and the role of American companies in Occupied Europe"
