Typically, when looking at such companies history, it might look something like this:
1911: Founded in Hinterwalddorf by the two Goldstein brothers under the name “Goldstein Maschinenbau GbR”
1918: First branch in Nachbardorf, beginning of market expansion
1925: 100th branch openedin Hauptstadt, revenue increases
1933: First international branch in Austria
1938: Goldstein brothers leave the company, transfering ownership to the Wolf family
1939: Renaming of the company to “Reichsmaschinengesellschaft AG”
1947: Reestablishment of the company by the two youngest nephews of the Wolf family as “Hinterwalddorfer Maschinen GmbH”
Not so fun fact: The company that made the protective paint for the Holocaust memorial in Berlin owned significant shares in one of the Cyankali suppliers for the gas chambers.
Why? The only thing needed would have been to throw the really bad ones into prison and take the wealth from the owners. Also 95% seems high. Most companies are pretty small and your average backery did not have much to do with mass murder.
It was to illustrate the futility. Name a single boycott that actually hit a corporation hard and forced them to be a little less shitty. I am not aware of any except for maybe maybe the Montgomery Bus boycott.
95% of all German companies that existed prior Hitler has a dark chapter. You wanna get rid of them all?

Well, let’s hope for a repeat then.
