American Industrialists Traded with the Nazis

20 Years of Censored News, p133-134

1982 SYNOPSES: In a shocking expose' of American corporate greed, investigative author
Charles Higham revealed a disgraceful if not criminal collaboration of some of America's
largest corporations with Nazi Germany notonly before but during World War II.

Higham documents his claims with information gathered through the National Archives and the
Freedom of Information Act. His book, Trading with the Enemy, gives evidence that such industrial
and financial giants as DuPont, Rockefeller, Ford, Chase Manhattan Bank, ITT, General Motors,
and Standard Oil collaborated with the Nazis either for monetary gain or because they were Nazi
sympathizers hoping for a German victory.

Higham claims that Standard Oil, among other examples, supplied fuel for German U-boats
through neutral Spain. It continued providing fuel until 1944 and in the process contributed
to the deaths of numerous American merchant seamen.

ITT was the supplier of communications and other equipment for the buzz bombs that devastated
London. Ford maintained a motor plant in Vichy France that turned out tanks and troop carriers
for the Third Reich.
Chase Manhattan Bank trafficked in the gold market through the Nazi-controlled Bank for
International Settlement in Basel. The source for some of the gold it bought and sold: dentures
and wedding rings from death camps.

Most of the corporations were interlocked with the German industrial giant I.G. Farben,
the company that produced the poison gas for the death camps and ran the largest camp,
Auschwitz, for its slave labor.

Charles Higham, author of the 1982 source, Trading with The Enemy, wrote a follow-up book,
American Swastika, published by Doubleday in 1985. In this well-researched book about spies,
Nazi sympathizers and anti-Semitic public officials, Higham concluded that "forces of camouflage,
protection, and support for the anti-Semitic cause still exist in the United States"
(The New York Times, 6/23/85).

In 1953, the assets of I.G. Farben, which American companies worked with during World War II,
were divided; the company today remains basically a trust to settle claims and lawsuits
from the Nazi era (Des Moines Register, 8/27/95). While I.G. Farben rejected claims from
survivors in the past, on July 3, 1996, the German Constitutional Court ruled that slave
laborers from the Nazi era can at last press their claims in court (The London Times, 7/4/96).
On August 21, 1996, about 70 surviving slave workers sold by the Nazis to I.G. Farben more
than 50 years ago protested outside a shareholders' meeting in Frankfurt to press for
compensation (USA Today, 8/22/96).

Additionally, while the story of looted Nazi gold in Swiss banks made headlines in late 1996,
there was no mention of Chase Manhattan Bank's alleged trafficking in the gold market through
a Nazi-controlled bank.

Ironically, the 1917 Trading With the Enemy Act, which was ignored by the U.S government during
World War II when American corporations traded with the Nazis, is now being used to sanction
Cuba (Washington Post, 6/24/95).

The Elkhorn Manifesto GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH - THE BUSH-DULLES-NAZI CONNECTION

The document [Hitler's doctor foresaw world's 'craziest criminal' - in the S.F. Chronicle,
April 28, 2001] was among 10,000 pages of information the CIA had gathered on 20 Nazi-era
figures. Other documents showed ``many lesser-known Nazis'' escaped justice after the war
because the West valued them as Cold War intelligence sources, said a group of government
agencies releasing the documents.

``These files demonstrate that the real winners of the Cold War were Nazi criminals,''
said Eli M. Rosenbaum of the Justice Department's Nazi-hunting Office of Special Investigations.
