History
Formed in 1936 when the Nazi government forced the Jewish Simson family to flee and took control through a trustee merger. The name change from Simson to BSW was seen by critics as standing for 'Bis Simson Wiederkommt' (until Simson returns). Renamed Gustloff-Werke in 1939, ending the BSW name.
