Parker's exact wording is "The firm Franke & Heidecke were ardent and proud

One fellow from the LUG asked me how I could possible listen to music
conducted by Herbert Von Karajan as he was not opposed to Hitler. I suppose
that it is the same reason why I drive Japanese cars. I'm not buying them
for Japan's sake. I'm buying them for my sake.

Von Karajan, who joined in 1935, was a member of the Nazi Party. Afterward, he was unrepentant. I never bought any of his recordings because I don't support Nazis, no matter what they are selling.
