And Amazon most likely shared a postal address in Amsterdam with Mercedes, Siemens or BMW. Or at least the street. That shit is common practice. DO I like it? No. Does this make Amazon any less impressive? No.

You are talking out of your ass and revealing your xenophobia. The Dutch Sandwich tax dodge works mostly for firms who can pretend that Caribbean post box firm own their "intellectual property" (i.e. tech and pharma firms) and who can then pretend that their actual operating entities are loss making. And no, the German car and industrial companies don't do that.

I couldn't find a source for Siemens et all that quickly, they are doing it as well so. As is any other DAX listed company (that isn't loosing money).
