Trading With The Enemy -- The Nazi American Money Plot (1933-1949)
Excerpted from the book by Charles Higham:


"To this day the bulk of Americans do not suspect The Fraternity. The government smothered everything, during and even (inexcusably) after the war. What would have happened if millions of American and British people, struggling with coupons and lines at the gas stations, had learned that in 1942 Standard Oil of New Jersey managers shipped the enemy's fuel through neutral Switzerland and that the enemy was shipping Allied fuel? Suppose the public had discovered that the Chase Bank in Nazi-occupied Paris after Pearl Harbor was doing millions of dollars' worth of business with the enemy with the full knowledge of the head office in Manhattan? Or that Ford trucks were being built for the German occupation troops in France with authorization from Dearborn, Michigan? Or that Colonel Sosthenes Behn, the head of the international American telephone conglomerate ITT, flew from New York to Madrid to Berne during the war to help improve Hitler's communications systems and improve the robot bombs that devastated London? Or that ITT built the Focke-Wulfs that dropped bombs on British and American troops? Or that crucial ball bearings were shipped to Nazi-associated customers in Latin America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U. S. War Production Board in partnership with Goring's cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of them? Or that such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?"

1. Considering how much and often this nation has bedded with former Nazis
in its war to rid the world of godless communism, how extreme the right wing has been in this country since the 1930s, and how extreme the right wing has been once seizing control of all the levers of power in this country, none of this really surprises me an iota.

2. Yeah if you mentioned these things to me
five to ten years ago, I might have laughed. But being in the position of a political dirt digger with the labor union I belong to has exposed me to discover much disturbing things about corporations and the government itself, and much of it documented on government documents - sort of hidden in plain sight if you will.

Anyway, the web-page "thedossier.ukonline" has a link to a BBC video delving into the banking aspect of this traitorous activity with Hitler -- its quite informative..
