An heiress of the Bahlsen biscuit empire in Germany has sparked uproar over her claim that her company treated forced workers 'well' during World War II. Now, she's apologised.

The 25-year-old had dived headlong into controversy first with her unashamed claim of being a capitalist who"wants to make money and buy yachts with my dividends".

On social media, there were calls to boycott Bahlsen's products, while others had urged the wealthy heiress to do a year of civic service to gain a better understanding of social realities.Getty
