Just a quick note to mention that the Philips factory in Eindhoven was in occupied The Netherlands, not in Germany as your question appears to imply. Philips' chairman spent five months in a concentration camp as the Germans felt that the repairs following Operation Oyster in 1942 took too long and he had failed to end a strike at the factory. So did they get away with it? It led to the raid on the factories...

It's quite a broad spectrum subject that you're taking on. Some of your questions could be a book in their own right, and I wonder how you are going to balance independent views obtained through a forum against all the factual evidence and other material already out there? If you want an impartial analysis, shouldn't that be based on the facts alone?
