Willy Heidinger / 海丁格尔

Willy Heidinger / 海丁格尔 appears in 133. IBM与纳粹：为什么普通人不应赞美鸡贼主义 as the German business figure behind [[Dehomag|德霍梅格]]. The episode says he obtained the German Hollerith-machine rights, later lost effective control to [[ThomasJWatson|Thomas J. Watson]], and became both a local partner and a recurring source of conflict for IBM.

In the source’s account, Heidinger’s role matters because local enthusiasm and local ownership appearance helped the business fit [[NaziGermany|Nazi Germany]]’s demands. He is presented as more ideologically aligned with the Third Reich than Watson, but the episode’s sharper claim is structural: IBM could use him and Dehomag to maintain a German face while protecting global corporate control.
