"without IBM's machinery, continuing UPKEEP and SERVICE, as well as the supply of punch cards, whether located ON-SITE or off-site, Hitler's camps could have never managed the numbers they did" [emphasis mine]
The idea is basically:
So there were not pocket calculators that they bought and then deployed in concentration camps and IBM can claim complete ignorance over the use. These machines need constant & professional service. Having them onsite meant that IBM sent technicians there probably. One had to wonder what those technician's response do the 24/7 billowing crematorium and emaciated bodies were.
However, on the other side (and I have not read the book, just looked at the topic many years ago superficially) I am not aware of any IBM engineers' stories about an actual site visit... So I don't know what to think and how guilty IBM really is...
