Dehomag / 德霍梅格

Dehomag / 德霍梅格 is the German Hollerith-machine company at the center of 133. IBM与纳粹：为什么普通人不应赞美鸡贼主义. The episode describes it as the German-facing subsidiary through which IBM and Thomas J. Watson supplied, customized, and maintained punched-card systems for Nazi Germany.

The source treats Dehomag as more than a foreign affiliate. Its local identity helped IBM preserve access under Nazi rule, while IBM’s control helped keep the German operation inside a transnational business system. That structure makes Dehomag the episode’s clearest institutional case for corporate complicity with authoritarianism and data-enabled persecution.
