It would be good to add discussion of the seizure of the USA assets of IG Farben, nnamely, General Analine & Film, the subsequent history of this company while it was owned by the USA government, and the story of its disposition.

There are innumerable references available, if one searches google - actually, I had created the stub based on a number of information available on the WWW. I am giving one or two references in the page. --Bhadani 07:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Five alledgedly IG Farben-related directors were removed from the GAF board by action of the United States Government just over a month after Germany declared war on the USA, per The New York Times January 14, 1942 issue. It seems unfair to mention what happened with regard to IG Farben after this in an article about GAF. Surely no one is alledging that any US Farben subsidiaries used Holocaust-related slave labor. The film and camera business was liquidated, and the "Viewmaster" manufacturing sold, in the late 1970s. Also, according to Forbes, there had been a move to liquidate the company altogether in the 1980s, but management of the building materials division decided to execute an LBO rather than allow this to occur, which is essential the origin of the current company. A useful addition to the article would be both the old cursive, lower-case "gaf" logo and the current, white all capital letter on red background logo, if either is available in the public domain. Does anyone know about this? 68.53.124.32 (talk) 21:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
