Wall Street funded Nazis
In his book,
Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler,
Professor Antony Sutton (pictured right), author of nineteen books,
provides a thoroughly documented account of the role played by Morgan,
Rockefeller, General Electric Company, Standard Oil, National City Bank,
Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company, General Motors,
Ford, and other industrialists, in helping to finance the Nazis. To
prove his point, Professor Sutton provides bank statements, letters from
U.S. ambassadors, mainstream media sources,
Congressional Records,
excerpts from Congressional Investigations, and statements from the
Nuremberg trials. Wall Street's funding of the Nazis is part of
authentic history.
Professor Sutton wrote that "General Motors, Ford, General Electric,
DuPont," and other "U.S. companies intimately involved with the
development of Nazi Germany were ... controlled by the Wall Street
elite," such as "the J.P. Morgan firm, the Rockefeller Chase Bank and to
a lesser extent the Warburg Manhattan bank."
"The deal bringing Hitler into the government was cut at the home of
banker Baron Kurt von Schroeder on January 4, 1933," wrote author Marrs.
Other notable figures that are said to have appeared at this meeting
include Council on Foreign Relations members John Foster Dulles, and
Allen Dulles, of the New York law firm Sullivan and Cromwell, which
represented the Schroeder bank. Allen Dulles would eventually become a
member the Bilderbergers and director of the CIA.
"Max
Warburg," stated Marrs, "a major German banker, and his brother Paul
Warburg, who had been instrumental in establishing the Federal Reserve
System in the United States, were directors of Interssen Gemeinschaft
Farben or
I.G. Farben, the giant German
chemical firm that produced Zyklon B gas used in Nazi extermination
camps." On the left we see used canisters of the Zyklon B gas found by
the allies after WWII. The gas was apparently produced with the full
support of American industrialists.
"The financing for Adolph Hitler's rise to power was handled through
the Warburg-controlled Mendelsohn Bank of Amsterdam and later by the J.
Henry Schroeder Bank with branches in Frankfurt, London and New York,"
wrote Gary Allen. "Chief legal council to the J. Henry Schroeder Bank
was the firm Sullivan and Cromwell whose senior partners included John
Foster and Allen Dulles."
Author James Perloff concurs, and reveals the role that the Council
on Foreign Relations played in aiding the Nazis. He states, "In 1939,
on the eve of blitzkrieg, the Rockefellers' Standard Oil of New Jersey
sold $20 million in aviation fuel to ... I.G. Farben [and] even had an
American subsidiary called American I.G." Describing the CFR's
connection to the Nazis, he lists the directors of the American I.G. as
"ubiquitous Paul Warburg (CFR founder), Henry A. Metz (CFR founder), and
Charles E. Mitchell, who joined the CFR in 1923..."
Other U.S. companies which contributed heavily to the Nazi war
machine include Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) and Union Banking
Corporation (UBC), both of New York. Prescott Bush (grandfather of
President George W. Bush) was a partner at BBH and director of UBC. UBC
of New York, which was founded and chaired by E. Roland Harriman, is
now confirmed to have been a
Nazi front company.
In a story called,
Bush-Nazi Link Confirmed, on October 10, 2003,
The New Hampshire Daily Gazette
announced, "After 60 years of inattention and even denial by the U.S.
media, newly-uncovered government documents in The National Archives and
Library of Congress reveal that Prescott Bush ... served as a business
partner ... for the financial architect of the Nazi war machine from
1926 until 1942." A similar article appeared in the
London Guardian on September 25, 2004, it was entitled,
How Bush's Grandfather Helped Hitler's Rise to Power.
"Prescott Sheldon Bush ... father of the [former] President George
[H. W.] Bush ... was a partner in the Wall Street firm of Brown Brothers
Harriman for 40 years," wrote Professor Marrs. "It was Brown Brothers
Harriman that helped to finance ... the 1917 communist revolution in
Moscow and the rise of Hitler and Nazism, through money made possible by
it and the affiliated Guaranty Trust Company." Prince Bernhard of the
Netherlands who served in an intelligence unit for the German branch of
Farben was also a member of the Nazi SS. Bernhard eventually became a
founding member of the Bilderbergers.
In his book,
The Rockefeller File,
Gary Allen wrote, "The alliance between Nazi Germany and the
Rockefellers is truly shocking." He explained, "Hitler's Luftwaffe ran
on Standard petrol, and the Rockefellers were partners in I.G. Farben
Industries, whose thousands of war products included the poison gas used
in Nazi death camps." Professor Sutton added, "American I.G. Farben,
General Electric, Standard Oil of New Jersey, Ford, and other U.S.
firms" were "directly responsible for bringing the Nazis to power." The
Russian soldier on the right is standing on top of a death chamber, near
the opening from which the gas was dropped.
"German bankers on the Farben Aufsichsrat (the supervisory Board of
Directors) [of I.G. Farben] in the late 1920s included the Hamburg
banker Max Warburg, whose brother Paul Warburg was a founder of the
Federal Reserve System in the Unite States," revealed Professor Sutton.
"Not coincidentally, Paul Warburg was also on the board of American
I.G., Farben's wholly owned U.S. Subsidiary." So what this means is
that Paul Warburg aided the Nazis while working for I.G. Farben in the
U.S., while his brother helped them while working for the same company
in Germany.
"The two largest tank producers in Hitler's Germany were Opel, a
wholly owned subsidiary of General Motors (controlled by the J.P. Morgan
firm), and the Ford A.G. subsidiary of the Ford Motor Company of
Detroit," wrote Professor Sutton. "In brief," he affirmed, "American
companies associated with the Morgan-Rockefeller international
investment bankers ... were intimately related to the growth of Nazi
Industry."
On March, 29, 2002,
The Guardian ran an article entitled,
IBM Dealt Directly with Holocaust Organisers.
They wrote that, "Newly discovered documents from Hitler's Germany
prove that the computer company IBM directly supplied the Nazis with
technology which was used to help transport millions of people to their
deaths in the concentration camps at Auschwitz and Treblinka."
According to this mainstream publication, IBM supplied the Hollerith
machines (pictured right) that determined when people would die,
according to their weight, height, age, and other attributes.
Similarly, an article entitled,
How IBM Helped Automate the Nazi Death Machine in Poland, appeared in
The Village Voice
on March 27, 2002, alleging that there was "a strategic business
alliance between IBM and the Reich, beginning in the first days of the
Hitler regime and continuing right through World War II." It continued,
"Recently discovered Nazi documents ... make clear that IBM's alliance
with the Third Reich went far beyond its German subsidiary. A key
factor in the Holocaust in Poland was IBM technology provided directly
through ... IBM New York, mainly to its headquarters at 590 Madison
Avenue." Pictured above is a 1937 meeting between Adolph Hitler (left),
and the head of IBM, Thomas J. Watson (center).
One excuse used by the industrialists that supported the Nazis, is
that they had no idea what was going on. Unveiling this falsehood,
Professor Sutton explained, "This financial and technical assistance is
referred to as 'accidental' or due to the 'short-sightedness' of
American businessmen." However, he stated "the evidence presented ...
strongly suggests some degree of premeditation on the part of these
American financiers." He further noted, "The general impression left
with the reader by modern historians is that this American technical
assistance was
accidental and that American industrialists were innocent of wrongdoings."
The
Kilgore Committee under the United States Senate charged with post
World War II investigations concluded that "the United States
accidentally played an important role in the technical arming of
Germany. ... Germans were brought to Detroit [Ford Motor Company] to
learn the techniques of specialized production of components, and of
straight-line assembly. ... The techniques learned in Detroit were
eventually used to construct the dive-bombing Stukas."
To the right we see the German Stukas used during WWII, which were
apparently designed with the help of Ford Motor Company. Reportedly, the
planes ran on fuel supplied by Rockefeller. The report continued, "At a
later period I.G. Farben representatives in this country enabled a
stream of German engineers to visit not only plane plants but others of
military importance, in which they learned a great deal that was
eventually used against the United States."
Professor Sutton points out, "[The Kilgore Committee] makes it clear
that I.G. Farben directors had precise knowledge of the Nazi
concentration camps and the use of I.G. chemicals." To illustrate his
point, he quotes a 1945 interrogation of I.G. Farben director von
Schnitzler in which Schnitzler stated, "I was horrified" that the
chemicals were being used in the camps but "kept it to myself because it
was too terrible." Professor Sutton suggests, "not only was an
influential sector of American business aware of the nature of Naziism,
but for its own purposes aided Naziism wherever possible" and
"profitable." He charges, "The pleas of innocence do not accord with
the facts."
James Stewart Martin investigated the structure of the Nazi industry
while working as Chief of the Economic Warfare Section for the
Department of Justice. In his book, All Honorable Men, published in
1950, he asserts that American and British businessmen got themselves
appointed to key positions in the post-war investigation. Martin
concludes that this was a deliberate tactic to divert, stifle and muffle
investigation of Nazi industrialists and to hide their own involvement.
Regarding this matter Professor Sutton observed, "The evidence
suggests there was a concerted effort not only to protect Nazi
businessmen, but also to protect the collaborating elements of American
and British business."
Referring to the Kilgore Committee in 1946, Professor Sutton wrote,
"Accordingly, it is not at all difficult to visualize why Nazi
industrialists were puzzled by 'investigations' and assumed at the end
of the war that their Wall Street friends would bail them out and
protect them from the wrath of those who had suffered." Apparently
these Nazis were angry that they were even on trial and boasted that
their "friends" in Wall Street would rescue them.
The Kilgore Committee in 1946 described the attitudes of these Nazi
war criminals stating, "Their general attitude and expectation was that
the war was over and we ought now to be assisting them in helping to get
I.G. Farben and German industry back on its feet. Some of them have
outwardly said that this questioning and investigation was ... of short
duration, because as soon as things got a little settled they would
expect their
friends in the Untitled States
and England to be coming over. Their friends, so they said, would put a
stop to activities such as these investigations..."
The Control Council which was given the task of preparing directives
for the arrest and detention of war criminals, moved into Germany after
the war. It was headed by the Council on Foreign Relations. Professor
Sutton observed, "At the end of World War II, Wall Street moved into
Germany through the Control Council to protect their old cartel friends
and limit the extent to which the denazification fervor would damage old
business relationships." He said, "General Lucius Clay, the deputy
military governor for Germany, appointed ... Banker William Draper [to]
... put his control team together from businessmen who had represented
American business in pre-war Germany."
The CFR/Wall Street managed these investigations from the top. "So
when we examine the Control Council for Germany," wrote Professor Sutton
"we find that the head of the finance division was Louis Douglas,
director of the Morgan-controlled General Motors," and the head of the
"Economics Division was William Draper, a partner in the Dillon, Read
Firm that had so much to do with building Nazi Germany in the first
place." "All three men [Douglas, Clay, and Draper] were, not
surprisingly ... members of the Council on Foreign Relations," he added.
"None of the Americans were ever prosecuted," wrote Perloff. "The
story of American ties to German fascism has been avoided like the
plaque by the major U.S. media." Professor Sutton declared, "After
World War II the Tribunals set up to investigate Nazi war criminals were
careful to censor any materials regarding Western assistance to
Hitler."
"[At] the very core of Naziism," says Professor Sutton, we "find Wall
Street, including Standard Oil of New Jersey and I.T.T., represented
... [up] to as late as 1944." Referring to Wall Street's role in
funding the Nazis as being one part of a consolidation plan for world
domination, he concludes, "This interplay of ideas and cooperation ...
was only one facet of a vast and ambitious system of cooperation and
international alliance for world control."
The professor quotes an Establishment insider; Georgetown professor
Dr. Carroll Quigley, as saying that it was "nothing less than to create a
world system of financial control, in private hands, able to dominate
the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a
whole."
Summary
According to this information, the Council on Foreign Relation,
played an important role in funding the Nazis, and orchestrated the
investigations to prevent their connections from being made public.
This is a major historical lie. This evidence also suggests that Wall
Street/CFR not only funded, but arguably, created the Nazi war machine.
