Jeez, hard to imagine them not having been paper. Sometimes it’s easy to forget. Kind of like the IRS using computers older than some senators, and that’s saying something.

It’s talked about in this thread. The short version that IBM built a logistics machine for the Nazis that was used to coordinate the transport of supplies for the war effort and transporting people to concentration camps.
