     To paraphrase Freud, sometimes an octopus is just an octopus.

The Octopus, of course, is yet another manifestation of Standard Oil, and 
it's many-tentacled links to the multinational cartels (including, IG 
Farben, of course, but also Seimens, Daimler-Benz, GE, Shell, BMW, 
Kontinental Oil, and on and on) that were enjoying
such a decky-dance in Europe in those days. For an extraordinary history 
of this, check out the recent Secret War Against the Jews or Christopher 
Simpson's chilling chronicle of multinational corporate complicity in 
genocide The Splendid Blond Beast.
