World War II Era
Preceding World War II Siemens was involved in the secret rearmament of Germany. During the Second World War, Siemens supported the Hitler regime, contributed to the war effort and participated in the "Nazification" of the economy. Siemens had many factories in and around notorious extermination camps such as Auschwitz and used slave labor from concentration camps to build electric switches for military uses. In one example, almost 100,000 men and women from Auschwitz worked in a Siemens factory inside the camp, supplying the electricity to the camp.[5] The crematorium ovens at Buchenwald bear the Siemens label.Report: German Company Sold Iran Surveillance Equipment
Moechel said he was "99 percent certain" that Siemens had provided Iran with equipment used to track landline and cellular phone conversations. Iran also purchased "Intelligence Platform" systems allowing it to monitor financial transactions and travel, he said.
Siemans spokesmen did not confirm or deny the allegations, but said the company was careful to obey all European Union guidelines regarding trade with Iran.

I just read an article by Amir Oren on Haaretz.com titled, "Nuclear experts killed in Russia plane crash helped design Iran facility." He reports that the five Russian nuclear experts who died in the crash had worked on the Bushehr nuclear reactor in Iran. Additionally, he explains that the construction contract for the reactor originally belonged to Siemens (para. 3). Their still making ovens, I thought, this time of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem if the lunatics they are helping get their way.
