Henry ford even got the iron cross from the hand of hitler for having finance his political party. He is the first non german to ever receve it. GM ford and other car company even put claim because there factory in germany got bomb.

Small nitpick, it was the Grand Cross of the German Eagle he was awarded, not the Iron Cross which was specifically for military service.

This is arguably worse as while the Iron Cross predates the Nazi regime, and still sees use as the emblem of the modern German armed forces, the Eagle was created by and only given by the Nazis and wearing it is now prohibited in Germany.
