At least Mercedes-Benz created a pension fund for former forced laborers.

Mauser also behaved relatively well given the circumstances.
Companies like Varta not so much. They bought labor from the SS and had them work with lead without any protection. Most died an agonising death due to lead poisoning. Varta was part of the same conglomerate, the Quandt group.

DWM Berlin also did not win the good conduct award.
