Uhh, citation please. Because here it says Dehomag was acquired by CTR in
1923. I have not found anything that says any American company created
Dehomag as a subsidiary and reabsorbed it.

Even if you accept the point that Dehomag was a truly independent
company before 1923, the first paragraph of the above article is enough
to disprove your point that IBM was ever a German company.
