Do you know what is common between the chemical giant <b>BASF</b>, the pharmaceutical giant <b>Bayer</b>, <b>Hoescht</b> (now <b>Sanofi-Aventis</b>) and <b>Agfa</b>?

They all have a very bloody past which involved
>Planning, preparation, initiation, and waging of wars of aggression and invasions of other countries.
>War crimes and crimes against humanity through the plundering and spoliation of occupied territories, and the seizure of plants in Austria, Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, France, and Russia.
>War crimes and crimes against humanity through participation in the enslavement and deportation to slave labor on a gigantic scale of concentration camp inmates and civilians in occupied countries, and of prisoners of war, and the mistreatment, terrorization, torture, and murder of enslaved persons.
>Membership in a criminal organization, the SS.
>Acting as leaders in a conspiracy to commit the crimes mentioned under counts 1, 2, and 3.

<b>IG Farben</b> was founded on December 25, 1925 as a merger of the following six companies
>BASF
>Bayer
>Hoechst (including Cassella and Chemische Fabrik Kalle)
>Agfa
>Chemische Fabrik Griesheim-Elektron
>Chemische Fabrik vorm. Weiler Ter Meer
