They are different areas, but they both share the same problem: statutes of limitation that expired a LONG time ago. And, when we analyzed the case files, we did take note of claimants who claimed to have performed forced slave labor. I am sure that the German firms, et al., who used slave labor will be on the wrong end of a future lawsuit.
