Just a reminder:
Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer, and a friend of Hitler. His refusal to move towards rearmament and aiding Britain before US entry in the war when practically everyone else did, materially hurt Britain in the air war, and likely led to British losses, both as far as pilots and civilian bombing victims.
