发帖数: 518 | 1 The contribution made by American capitalism to German war preparations can
only be described as phenomenal. It was certainly crucial to German military
capabilities...Not only was an influential sector of American business
aware of the nature of Naziism, but for its own purposes aided Naziism
wherever possible (and profitable) - with full knowledge that the probable
outcome would be war involving Europe and the United States'. Penetrating a
cloak of falsehood, deception and duplicity, Professor Antony C. Sutton
reveals one of the most remarkable but unreported facts of the Second World
War: that key Wall Street banks and American businesses supported Hitler's
rise to power by financing and trading with Nazi Germany. Carefully tracing
this closely guarded secret through original documents and eyewitness
accounts, Sutton comes to the unsavoury conclusion that the catastrophic
Second World War was extremely profitable for a select group of financial
insiders. He presents a thoroughly documented account of the role played by
J.P. Morgan, T.W.
Lamont, the Rockefeller interests, General Electric Company, Standard Oil,
National City Bank, Chase and Manhattan banks, Kuhn, Loeb and Company,
General Motors, the Ford Motor Company, and scores of others in helping to
prepare the bloodiest, most destructive war in history. This classic study,
first published in 1976 - the third volume of a trilogy - is reproduced here
in its original form. The other volumes in the series study the 1917 Lenin-
Trotsky Revolution in Russia and the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roosevelt
in the United States.

This is the third and final vol ume of a trilogy describing the role of the
American corporate socialists, otherwise known as the Wall Street
financial elite or the Eastern Liberal Establishment, in three
signi
ficant twentieth-century historical events: the 1917 Lenin-Trotsky
Revolution in Russia, the 1933 election of Franklin D. Roos
evelt in the United States, and the 1933 seizure of power
by Adolf Hitler in Germany.
Each of these events introduced some variant of socialism into a
major country — i.e., Bolshevik socialism in Russia, New Deal so
cialism in the United States, and National socialism in Germany.
Contemporary academic histories, with perhaps the sole exception of
Carroll Quigley's Tragedy And Hope, ignore this evidence. On the
ot
her hand, it is understandable that universities and research
organizations, dependent on financial aid from foundations that are
controlled by this same New York financial elite, would hardly
want to support and to publish research on these aspects of
international politics. The bravest of trustees is unlikely to bite the hand
that feeds his organization.
It is also eminently clear from the evidence in this trilogy that "public-
spirited businessmen" do not journey to Washington as lobbyists and
administrators in order to serve the United States. They are in
Washington to serve their own profit-maximizing interests. Their
purpose is not to further a competitive, free-market economy, but
to manipulate a politicized regime, call it what you will, to their own
advantage. It is business manipulation of Hitler's accession to
power in March 1933 that is the topic of Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler.
