IBM's Tom Watson took a recurring fee on every one of those machines, and all the ones used by Nazi Germany throughout the Reich.
Born in 1874, he was IBM's chairman 1914-1956. His machines and their punch cards (millions, only available through IBM) were site and use specific. He knew where each was and the commission due on it. They kept the Nazi railroads running, and managed the "throughput" at Nazi labor and death camps.
