Dr. Oetker is known worldwide for its frozen pizzas, cake mixes, and baking products, but its rise is tied to Nazi Germany and World War II. What started as a small pharmacy in Bielefeld, Germany, grew into a food empire that aligned with Hitler’s regime and profited from the war. For decades, this disturbing history was kept quiet.
