Sure they were.

At least their website kinda admits something: https://www.alange-soehne.com/us-en/manufactory/heritage/a-lange-sohne-is-reborn

“So, from 1941 [Barbarossa], Walter Lange attends the renowned watchmaking school in Karlstein in Austria’s Waldviertel region. Yet the same thing happens to him as it does to so many others of his generation: NAZISM, war and occupation [such victims] turn the life he had planned upside down.”

And the fall of Berlin Wall was “the end of an involuntary hiatus of over 40 years.”

They were VICTIMS!!

Why do you say so so surely? Like an inside source, or rumors that the heirs are unrepentant or even sympathizers?

I mean don’t they realize how many hundreds of thousands, maybe even millions of dollars, they lose over this? They’re a low volume OEM, and are vulnerable to economic downturns.

Honestly, like there’s at least 10 Jewish (or Jewish-heritage, ie Jewish dad but gentile mom) wouldbe buyers, whose money could EASILY cover the publicist who’d right the statement and website portion about A Lange’s business from 1933-1945, and then some. How stupid are A Lange’s leaders? Plus, if they can do “sustainability” like their website has a section for, they can at least somewhere admit their behavior in the Nazi era.
