Krupp
Krupp is the German industrial dynasty that dominated steel and armaments manufacturing from the 19th century through World War II.
The family name became synonymous with heavy weaponry—Krupp cannons and artillery armed multiple German wars.
The factory was pure Krupp—massive, efficient, unforgiving.
The name evokes industrial might, German militarism, and the marriage of capitalism to warfare.
