German television ZDF are currently showing a programme on the Krupp family.
The final part of the trilogy is on Wednesday evening.
It is a truly fascinating story of a family empire that almost lasted 400 years.
Alfred Krupp was tried at Nuremberg and sentenced to prison. His only son, Arndt, had no interest in the business and died at a young age.
Today the company is part of the Krupp Thyssen group and the family is no longer involved in the company.
The family home in Essen, Villa Hugel, is now under public ownership
