Not to support their actions, but if you are not going to buy products from a company because they were associated with wartime actions, you are going to have to cross off nearly every company on earth. Yeah, its a shitty thing to do, but boycotting them (and using racial slurs to do it ) because they built stuff for an enemy 60 years ago and used POWs to do it is ridiculous. Might as well also boycott BMW, Mercedes, and all American farming products--all used POW labor to produce things used by one side in that same war. The same thing has been happening for 3000 years... Are you going to boycott all the products ever produced by every company in the world?

Voting with your pocketbook is an excellent thing; doing it for irrational reasons isnt.
