===Nazi Germany (1933–1945)===
'''Krupp'''
* 1930-1933:  Thyssen and Krupp were among the industrialists who originally saw Hitler's movement as flawed and stayed away. It was during this period, however, they and others were persuaded to assist the Nazi movement or face threats.  And thus in the end, both contributed greatly to the Nazi political and war efforts.   (Shirer, William, "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.")

* 1937: As dictated by Hitler's [[Four-Year Plan]], production of locomotives, trucks, and ships was expanded and armaments production resumed.
* 1941: Krupp Germania shipyard was extended with the acquisition of Deutsche Schiff- und Maschinenbau AG "Deschimag" to include larger ships and submarines. Krupp took advantage of foreign labourers, [[slavery|slave labourers]], prisoners of war, and Jews to compensate for labour shortages. It is estimated that a total of 100,000 people were forced to work by the company. Moreover, it had a workshop near the [[Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz]] complex. Due to the company's involvement in the war, [[Alfried Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach]] was then convicted for [[crimes against humanity]] and received a sentence of 12 years imprisonment during [[Krupp trial|The United States of America vs. Alfried Krupp]], et al., trial of 8 December 1947 – 31 July 1948.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.loc.gov/services/federal-research-division/about-this-service/|title=About this Service &#124; Federal Research Division &#124; Services &#124; Library of Congress|website=Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540 USA|accessdate=7 April 2023}}</ref>

'''Thyssen'''
* 1934: The company August Thyssen-Hütte AG is spun off the Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG as a so-called operating company.
* 1939: [[Fritz Thyssen]], chairman of the Board of Vereingte Stahlwerke AG, flees to [[Switzerland]] after the invasion of [[Poland]]. Vichy France hands over Thyssen and his wife to the [[German Reich]] at the end of 1940.
* 1940: A rearmament policy is introduced by the Nazis in the mid-1930s and with the outbreak of war, labor is conscripted and supplemented by foreign workers, slave laborers, and prisoners of war.
* 1945: Thyssenhütte mill in Hamborn occupied by US troops.
