[Berlin Expat]

13. If I recall my history, the formula was given to the

(at the time) Czechoslovak government at the end of WW2 by the Allies as part of Germany's reparations. The Allies seized I.G. Farben and liquidated it in 1952, and exploited some of the patents and tech that I.G. Farben had and gave some away as well as part of war reparations. I.G. Farben still exists as a asset-less shell company paying out reparations to survivors of German atrocities.

On edit: also, the factory that produced Zyklon B was located in Kolín, known at that time as Kaliwerk A.G., so the Czechoslovak government took over the factory following the end of WW2 and the expulsion of the ethnic Germans here (the Beneš Decrees).

The Czech word, "uragan" means "hurricane" or "cyclone" when translated to English.....exactly the same as "zyklon" in German. So essentially, it's still the same name; just in another language.
