Proof of America's/Britian's support of the Nazis Party

#1

Post by Indra Ross » 18 May 2002, 07:04

Please help..... where can I find information on America's and British support of the Nazi Party prior to 1933 and during WWII.

I have heard the stories of Walt Disney, Errol Flynn, Rockafeller and British Royalty. Is there any documents to support this. What was their fate after WWII.

Thanks

Have you read Hitler's War by David Irving..? That contains quite a bit of info on British politicians admiration for Hitler. Also, if you're interested in the financial assistance given by other countries there is a few books, specially about the SS and their share dealing with huge companies abroad.
Himmler by Peter Padfield gives a lot of onformation about peace talks which went on right through the war with the Swedes, Swiss, Americans and British.
I'm sure others can recommend more. The unlikely Death of H.Himmler contained a lot of info about financial dealings with various companies too if I recall, along the lines of how the SS built up their huge empire and how large firms were able to keep going by the way there shares and capital could be hidden abroad.

The idea of Hitler and the NSDAP being financed by the international plutocracy is a myth. National Socialism was a nationalistic German lower-middle class movement, and most of the funding came from simple Party dues.

The Nazis were able to get some funding from German businessmen like Fritz Thyssen who were afraid of Communism, but it certainly had no strings attached; the Nazis were very much an unbridled force.

As far as foreigners, Henry Ford, who was anti-Semitic and published The International Jew, made a modest contribution but that's about it.

Try this excellent book in your library, or click on my link to order from Amazon to support this very site! :)

Look for books about Joseph P. Kennedy, the US Ambassador to the Court of St. James before the war.

Joe Kennedy was considered nouveau riche by the old-moneyed plutocracy; he was a fierce Irishman, Democrat, and Anglophobe, who got the job as ambassador to the Court of St. James because Roosevelt owed him politically. Kennedy wanted to preserve American neutrality for nationalistic reasons. Beyond that there was no symphathy for the Nazis. I would be amazed if he ever gave them a financial contribution.

Good point, Ken. Also, wasn't he the one who pulled his money out of the stock market just before the crash of '29 when his barber started giving him stock tips?

Henry Ford was probably in Hitler's top ten favorite foreigners, if not #1. It is reported that he even had a picture of Hitler hanging in his office in the earrly-mid 30s. Without Ford, the German war industry would have very few trucks.
Also, Lindbergh was pretty pro-German, but he was certainly not a traitor. He didn't want war with them, but when it broke out, he did everything within his power to defeat them and the Japanese.

The Kennedy family gets $1 from every gallon of whiskey imported into the U.S. from Ireland because of a deal Joseph P. Kennedy made with the Irish gov. when he was the ambassador to the Court of St. James.
Or so the stroy goes.

Early in WW II several US reporters wrote a book about all the connections of US companies with the German Industries. Esso was working oil fields in eastern Europe and selling oil to Germany. ETC How do you break those connections and When do you break them. Most waited for War to be declared. Swiss banks had US officals in their staff and continued to make loans to the Nazis thru WW II. Shame on those business men, capitalists!!

Didn't Bush Seniors father Prescott help fund the nazis?
In a Christopher Simpson book, "The Splendid Blonde Beast," the author wrote about George H. W. Bush's father, Prescott, and his maternal grandfather, George Herbert Walker. Both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush were powerful financial supporters of Adolf Hitler.
Walker was president of Union Banking Corporation, a firm that traded with Germany and helped German industrialists consolidate Hitler's political power. Simpson says Union Banking became a Nazi money-laundering machine.

Walker helped take over North American operations of Hamburg-Amerika Line, a shipping line and cover for I. G. Farben's Nazi espionage unit in the U. S. Hamburg-Amerika smuggled in German agents, and brought in money for bribing American politicians to support Hitler. A 1934 congressional investigation showed Hamburg-Amerika subsidized Nazi propaganda efforts in the U. S.

George H. W. Bush's father, Prescott, was a board member of Union Banking and a senior partner in a Union Banking affiliate—the investment firm Brown Brothers, Harriman. The U. S. government investigated both Bert Walker and Prescott Bush, and under the Trading with the Enemy Act seized all shares of Union Banking, including shares held by Prescott Bush. The government held that "huge sections of Prescott Bush's empire had been operated on behalf of Nazi Germany and had greatly assisted the German war effort."
