to move forward towards the Rhine River, they were astonished to see that the German forces were using the same type of trucks and military vehicles as they did themselves.“[67]
This model of co-operation only lasted up to the point where it became obvious in Jalta that the location would be in the soon to be Soviet-occupied zone. The manufacturing plant was taken out with a very exact targeted air strike.[68]
The well-documented evidence of the fact that American banking and industrial circles played a major role in the rise of Hitler and the Third Reich are not accessible to the public.
One name is inseparably linked to the business activities of the Nazi time – I.G. Farben. It is a corporation that controlled the entire world of chemistry and pharmaceuticals. It was operating in 93 countries. In late 1929 it came to a merger between Standard Oil (Rockefeller’s corporation) and I.G. Farben. Standard Oil signed over 546,000 of his shares to I.G. Farben.
I.G. Farben soon became the largest industrial corporation of Europe and the largest chemical company in the world. Its international connections were quite obvious when taking a look at its board members. There were Max and Paul Warburg[69], who owned large banks in Germany and the USA.
Also on the board was C.E. Mitchell, who became chairman of the ‘Federal Reserve Bank’ and of ‘National City Bank’ as well as H.A. Metz from ‘Bank of Manhattan’. Hermann Schmitz, president of I.G. Farben, at the same time was on the board of Deutsche Bank as well as the Bank of International Settlements (BIS), which was founded in 1930 by Hjalmar Schacht and could be viewed as the central bank of central banks.
Represented at the BIS were mostly eminent Wall Street institutions, among them Rockefeller’s investment bank Chase Manhattan Bank, J.P. Morgan’s investment bank JP Morgan & Co., Clarence Lapowski’s investment bank Dillon, Read & Co. which were united by one thing, a strong interest in dealing with Germany.
The Air Force would not have been able to fly their planes without certain chemical products (e.g. tetraethyl lead) that were only produced by Standard Oil, General Motors and DuPont before then being sold to I.G. Farben.[70]
It was the same with oil. The German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported on February 11th, 1999 in its article “Oil for the Führer” that Hitler’s troops could not have been able to occupy France without continuing oil deliveries from America.[71]
As can be seen in the mineral oil statistics of the high command of the Wehrmacht, the US delivered more than a million tonnes of oil to Hitler in 1937, a quarter of Germany’s entire oil imports of during that year alone. How immensely important these deliveries were is revealed by a letter of the Supreme Commander of the German navy Grand Admiral Raeder from June 27th, 1940: “Without these oil imports neither the navy nor the economy would be in possession of the required oil right now.”[72]
One would have thought that the American oil deliveries had been stopped as soon as the war began, but that was not the case.
In the long classified import overviews of the Third Reich’s authority for oil we do not only see single shipments, but rather a detailed list proving that Germany imported a range of urgently required oil products between September 1939 and the summer of 1949, among them regular gasoline, diesel, heating oil, engine lubricating oil and motor oils.
In May of 1940 of all points in time, while German tanks crossed the border to France, the urgently required motor oil and engine lubricating oil was imported from the United States. As files from the Third Reich’s authority for oil document, 100 percent of the German demand was covered in this way.[73]
The oil deals of the American industry made up part of a cabinet meeting in Washington, in the presence of President Roosevelt and Foreign Minister Hull in 1940.
This is where the then current undersecretary Summer Wells stated that “oil from Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela was being distributed via Spain to Germany” and that “we should not lose our stake in this deal” In September of 1941 the American share of German motor oil imports was at a staggering 94 percent.[74]
This is one factor in how the German war effort was being allowed to literally run like a well-oiled machine for the involved American companies.
A name that comes up in this context, besides Rockefeller, Harriman and the I.G. Farben directors, the bankers Paul and Max Warburg, was that of Senator Prescott Bush, the father of former president George Bush and grandfather of George W. Bush.
Prescott Bush was in business with the German Luftwaffe (Air Force) and continued financial transactions via Union Banking Corporation. In doing so, he violated a law that makes trading with the enemy illegal. He was never charged for this crime. The German industrials Fritz Thyssen and Friedrich Flick conducted their bank transactions through Bush’s Union Bank.[75]
With the support of Prescott Bush and Felix Warburg (banking house Kuhn Loeb and Co.) the later Foreign Minister John Foster Dulles organized the debt reorganization for German companies. That way he made possible the transition to arms manufacturing, for which Bush and Warburg earned enormous sums of money.
As previously mentioned, I.G. Farben was the lynchpin of the business deals that were made with Germany. It is interesting to note that the main manufacturing plants of German defense companies, under the leadership of I.G. Farben, remained intact by almost 80 percent until after the war. It is however very likely that the Allied Forces knew where precisely these manufacturing plants were located. If this has really been the case, the war could have been ended many years earlier by the destruction of these factories through the Allied Forces. This in turn would mean that the profiteers of the war had no interest in a quick end to the war.
Charles Higham, former reporter at the New York Times, in his book “Trading with the enemy” points out the fact that the US government had attempted to cover up the involvement of Prescott Bush and other leading American heads of finance and industry in the support of Hitler.
The government feared that a persecution of these persons “would have made for a public scandal” and “would have demoralized as well as have provoked strikes and perhaps even mutiny among the armed forces”.
Furthermore, the government according to Higham believed that “the prosecution and conviction would have made it impossible for the board members of these companies to support America’s war efforts”[76]
The profits from WWII were not the only thing profitable from the viewpoint of the victorious powers. There was something else, which has long remained in the dark, something that has mesmerized people and put them under a spell through its mystical sheen since the dawn of time: GOLD!
WHO OWNS THE GERMAN GOLD?
"Auro loquente omnis oratio inanis est."
When gold speaks, the world is silent and listens.
