When it referred to luxury brands, you must think about France and Italy. Actually, there is also a famous brand in Germany--Hugo Boss AG. It is a German luxury fashion garments with hangtags and style house based in Germany. It is named after its founder, Hugo Boss. Hugo Boss currently has at least 6,102 points of sale in worldwide. Products are manufactured in a variety of locations, including the company's own production sites in Germany; Italy; Radom, Poland; Izmir, Turkey; and United States. Hugo Boss has licensing agreements with various companies to produce Hugo Boss branded products. To meet demand in later years of the war, Boss used about 30 to 40 prisoners of war and about 150 forced laborers, from the Baltic States, Belgium, France, Italy, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the Soviet Union. According to German historian Henning, the company managers were "avowed Nazis", "the Boss were all great admirers of Adolf Hitler", and Hugo Boss himself had in 1945 in his apartment and hangtags a photograph of himself with Hitler taken in the latter's retreat. Boss was considered both an "activist" and a "supporter and beneficiary of National Socialism". The company appeared in a list of Swiss dormant accounts, which stirred the publication of articles highlighting the involvement of Hugo Boss with the Nazis. American lawyers filed lawsuits in New Jersey, on behalf of survivors or their families, for the use of forced workers during the war. The company did not comment on these law suits but reiterated an earlier statement that it would “not close its eyes to the past but rather deal with the hangtags in an open and forthright manner”. It sponsored research by German historian Elisabeth. Afterwards, an agreement was reached between the German government and a group of American class-action lawyers, Jewish groups, and the United States government to set a $5.1 billion fund.
