I do have Gibson's book, but many don't- so would you mind summarizing your take on this?

As I recall Heinrich Kreighoff was interviewed after the war at which time he stated that he had not been an "enthusiastic Nazi". This is something of a joke as you would be hard put, in post-war Germany, to find anyone who admitted to having been one.

We are definitely all free to form our own opinions .

To be clear I am no fan of the NSDAP or what they did .

I actually like the lack of swastikas on HK Lugers .

My issue here is I have never seen any documentation of the HK firm having anything to do with the demise of Simson . The NSDAP is guilty of it IMHO .

To make it clear too, I never thought you were a fan of the Nationalsozialisticher Deutsche Arbeiter partei either.

HK didn't directly took party in the demise of Simson, but they sure took profit from it.

Indirect beneficiaries. They did not turn down the opportunity presented, we may note.
