"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 (part of the Rockefeller empire) 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 (the Rockefeller family among others?) 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 FockeWulfs 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 Goering'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?"
Charles Higham, researcher, about U.S.-Nazi collaboration during WWII.
