Banking With Hitler

The above BBC documentary, Banking With Hitler, is a great follow-up for LRC readers of Tyler Durden’s article, For Nazi Industrialists And Hitler’s Banker “All Was Forgiven.” Both provide a concise introductory exploration of how international financiers and bankers intermeshed within the Bank of International Settlements and National Socialist Germany’s military-industrial complex escaped prosecution and thrived after World War II. For more detailed analysis, see the following Amazon book list: Hitler Is Winning (particularly items #22-40). See also the beginning of Episode 9 of Oliver Stone’s The Untold History of the United States (below), which lists top American financiers and industrialists which facilitated this build up of the Nazi warfare state.
