mass murder” As astonishing as this statement sounds there is enough evidence to lead it credibility. Henry Ford’s link to Nazism is not hard to understand once you are aware of his anti-Semitic views, Ford continuously expressed his anti-Semitic views to anyone would listen, he eventually started a paper(Independent) which professed his view to a wider audience, headlines like ”The Intentional, Jew : The world’s problem” would be a fixture of his paper. Ford also wrote a book “The international Jew” which further blamed the Jews for all the world’s woes. The German version of the book was a massive success in German as early as 1921, before Hitler had the platform to spread anti-Semitism. Ford’s book blamed the Jews for Germany’s loss in the war as well as the harsh conditions of the Versailles treaty, the Germans embraced this view as it offered them a source of scapegoat and came from one of the world greatest men. Hitler like other Germans wholeheartedly embraced Henry Ford; in fact a large picture of Ford dominated Hitler’s office, as well as all Ford’s writings. We therefore need not guess why Ford and Hitler were fond of each other, the Vice president of the Bavarian Parliament Erhard Auer gave a concise reason. Auer claimed that “Henry Ford was financing the revolutionary program of a radical Austrian named Adolf Hitler because he was favorably impressed by Hitler’s program supporting the extermination of Jews in Germany” Given their mutual goal to solve the “international Jew problem” it seems only natural that on August 1938, Ford received the highest Nazi medal a foreigner could have obtained.
Several other key members of the business elite played a significant role in the rise of the Nazis, this is generally attributed to contractual agreement and naivety, however, according to Gabriel Kollo(academic) “The business press was aware from 1935 that German prosperity was based on war preparations. More importantly, it was conscious of the fact that German industry was under Nazi control and was being directed to serve Germany’s rearmament” Arguably the cornerstone of Hitler’s war capability was Chemical giant I.G. Farben, “Farben was Hitler and Hitler was Farben”(US, Senator Homer) Farben was created in 1925 by acquiring several existing German companies, with the financial assistance of Wall Street. Farben began helping Hitler from 1933 when directors contributed 400,000RM to his fund. Although IG Farben is a German company it still ties into the theme of unpunished western supporters of Hitler. All the German Directors of IG Farben were prosecuted as war criminals, all except Max Warburg-brother to American Paul Warburg, one of the founding members of the Federal Reserve System and a director of Farben’s American subsidiary, IG Farben America. Other directors of IG Farben America included men from the Ford Motor Company, Standard Oil. The Federal Reserve, and others. This is important because IG Farben America established Chemnyco, Chemnyco according to the War Department“(utilized) normal business contacts (and) was able to transit to Germany tremendous amounts of material”. which aided the Nazis. Another strike against IG Farben America is the fact that the company paid top public relations expert Ivy Lee to counter criticisms being made against their parent company in German, which was among other things making the gas being used to kill Jews in concentration camps. When being interrogated, Ivy Lee conceded that the propaganda he was being paid to distribute by IG Farben America was being sent to him from Germany and had its origins in the German government . This means Hitler’s propaganda was being paid for by Americans and was also being distributed by Americans.
General Electric (GE) was another company guilty of supporting the Third Reich, GE prior to Hitler’s reign had a history of supporting large government policies such as Roosevelt’s “New Deal” and Lenin’s Socialism. This was a corporate strategy which would hinder competition and provide GE with a statist government who would buy majority of their products. As a result it is no huge surprise that in 1933 GE’s Germany subsidiary contributed to Hitler’s election fund.
Standard Oil also played a huge role in supporting Hitler’s ambitions. This was explained in a report by the US embassy in Berlin which stated that “In two years Germany will be manufacturing oil and gas enough out of coal for a long war. The Standard Oil of New Jersey is furnishing millions of dollars to help” Without the fuel independence that Rockefeller’s Standard Oil provided, Hitler would have no hope for any war, since Germany imported 85% of its fuel. This problem was solved by Standard Oil technology which had the ability to turn coal into an oil substitute. The importance of this and other technologies which where funded in the US by Standard Oil and then transferred to IG Farben, without a doubt cannot be overstated, as without them Hitler could barely have invaded Poland.
It has been established that Hitler was supported a great deal by agents in allied nations, now let us examine Halder’s claim of Hitler being double crossed by the British. Firstly it is worth noting that at the time of his statement Halder was no longer a Hitler fan as Hitler had cast him away after his failed attack on the Soviet Union. The main reason why this claim deserves more attention than history has given it is tied to Rudolf Hess and his flight. The official story of Hess is that he went crazy and flew to Britain to ask for peace, was later captured and spent the rest of his life in jail. This version of events was proven false by Dr. Hugh Thomas who was assigned to care for the prisoner at Spandau (by the time he got the job only “Hess” was left.) Dr. Thomas had read books about his famous patient and knew he was shot in the chest in world war one. He knew the details of the injury and knew Hess must have scars on his chest, lungs and ribs. Thomas “froze in disbelief” when he realized that the scars, fibrous tissue track in the lungs and rib damage had all been absent from the prisoner. Astounded by the implications of this, the doctor called Hess’ wife who confirmed he had bad scars, additionally, he also accessed Hess’ German medal records which further proved that the prisoner was not Rudolf Hess. The evidence does suggest that Hess landed in Scotland as the authorities that apprehended him confirmed it was him by a well known scar he had received in a bar fight (this scar was also absent from the prison)
The official story of Hess’ Mission is also questionable; the idea of a man who had, only hours earlier chaired meetings just going crazy and flying a plane within yards of the person he was looking for is just as unrealistic as any other Hess “conspiracy theory”. A message from the head of Czech intelligence to Stalin refutes the official story;
“The widely spread opinion that Hess flew to Britain unexpectedly is untrue. Long before that flight corresponded on this question with Lord Hamilton discussing all the detail of his fore coming flight. Hamilton did not personally participate in the correspondence; however, all the letters addressed to Hamilton failed to reach him. They were reconceived by intelligence service. This is how the British managed to trick Hess into flying to Britain”
This version of event was also echoed by other people in the know, such as Hess’ mentor Haushofer, he claimed that his son a Nazi agent, Albrecht was one of several peace feelers to Britian, Albrecht met a “British confidential agent-a Lord Templewood”. After Albrecht returned from this meeting, he met with Hess who a few days later flew to England. This alleged behind the scenes meetings goes a far way in explaining the “miracle at Dunkirk”. Hitler’s racist ideas made peace with England a main goal, in explaining Dunkirk to Gredy Troost he said “the blood of every single Englishman is too valuable to shed. Our two people belong together” Further evidence that Hitler had some communication with people in England comes from a note he wrote to Goebbels, he said he “has high hopes of the peace party in England, otherwise, the Hess Affair would not have been so systematically killed by silence” Based on Hitler’s many states of peace with England, he must have had some reason to believe this. His attack on the Soviet Union is further proof that he believed that he had reach peace with England, why Hitler turned East is a favourite question of historians. Everybody including Hitler knew it was unwise to fight on the west and eastern fronts, the attack on Germany suggests there was something to Halder’s claim. On the day Hess had landed, Germany had carried out their most devastating air attack on Britain; over a thousand civilians died, even though Germany clearly had the advantage this was their last serious attack. Why, one may ask? Only Halder’s double cross theory seems to explain this. Also in the build up to the attack on Germany, propaganda Minister Goebbels was perplexed “that the English (were) not attacking Germany more” since they had moved most of their troops and were weak in the west, he went on “no one can explain it”. The truth of what really happened between Germany and Britain was quite fascinating and the evidence suggests much more complexity than most history books seem to believe.
The atrocities committed by the Nazis are well known but as we have seen certain forces outside of Germany propelled and made these crimes possible. From the Versailles Treaty which created a geo-political climate which was perfectly suited for a man like Hitler, to the eugenics teaching coming out of America and Britain, that was used by the Nazis to kill innocent people. Additionally, Henry Ford is also to be blamed both for the anti-Semitic climate in Germany as well as for funding Hitler’s rise to power. Furthermore, Hitler’s reign of terror would not have been possible without the help of companies such as IBM, GE, IG Farben, Standard Oil and several others. It is also clear that the official explanation of Germany-Anglo relation has several deficiencies and requires further examination. The crimes of Hitler are well known and this paper is not aimed at minimizing them. However it is clear that in a perfect world with perfect justice, Hitler would have some very famous, wealthy and well respected codefendants from the United States and Great Britain.
