Who remembers Kodak? They were a stock market high flyer with Polaroid, Xerox, and IBM in the 60's and 70's. They were the technology group of the day.

Backslash marks were popularized by the IBM standards committee in the 1960s, which got rolled into ASCII.
Programmers took a liking to the symbol; quickly adopting it as the standard escape character.
*Forward* slash existed in the 18th century by comparison.

Hmmm... I just saw this picture in a Craigslist ad for an IBM XT and an HP LaserJet... the original. For some reason, it never occurred to me that the line started before the HP LaserJet Series II. I've never seen an original before. #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing

They did eventually. But a lot of American companies were fuelling the nazi regime. Ford, General Motors, IBM, etc for years whilst Europe was at war.
Then when the war was over, with Operation Paperclip they took in 1600 Nazis while war criminals elsewhere were executed or imprisoned.
