INTERNATIONAL
TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH Even
after Pearl Harbor, ITT was working for the Nazis,
reports Higham: ". . . the German army, navy, and
air force contracted with ITT for the manufacture of
switchboards, telephones, alarm gongs, buoys, air raid
warning devices, radar equipment, and thirty thousand
fuses per month for artillery shells used to kill British
and American troops."
ITT also "supplied ingredients for
the rocket bombs that fell on London," and other
devices as well, without which "it would have been
impossible for the German air force to kill American and
British troops, for the German army to fight the Allies
in Africa, Italy, France, and Germany, for England to
have been bombed, or for Allied ships to have been
attacked at sea." (24)
In 1938, "following a series of
meetings with Luftwaffe chief Herman Goring, (ITT founder
and chairman Sosthenes) Behn encouraged ITT's Lorenz
subsidiary to purchase 28 percent of the Focke-Wulf firm,
manufacturer of the bombers that were to sink so many
Allied ships during the war," according to
researcher and author Jim Hougan. (25)
Anthony Sampson, in "The Sovereign
State of ITT," reports on what is perhaps the most
bizarre aspect of the US/Nazi corporate partnership, war
reparations:
". . . ITT now presents itself as
the innocent victim of the Second World War, and has been
handsomely recompensed for its injuries. In 1967, nearly
thirty years after the events, ITT actually managed to
obtain $27 million in compensation from the American
government, for war damage to Focke-Wulf plants - on the
basis that they were American property bombed by Allied
bombers." (26)
The Foreign Claims Settlement
Commission was responsible for this payment to ITT, and
other U.S. corporations as well.
Bradford Snell reports that "After
the cessation of hostilities, GM and Ford demanded
reparations from the U.S. Government for wartime damages
sustained by their Axis facilities as a result of Allied
bombing. By 1967 GM had collected more than $33 million
in reparations and Federal tax benefits for damages to
its warplane and motor vehicle properties in formerly
Axis territories . . . Ford received a little less than
$1 million, primarily as a result of damages sustained by
its military truck complex at Cologne." (27)
ALLEN DULLES: ARCHITECT OF THE US-NAZI
NETWORK
Contemporary history records Allen
Dulles as one of America's top spymasters, from his early
days in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) in World
War II, to his position as Director of the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the 1950s and early 1960s
(until President John F. Kennedy fired him over the Bay
of Pigs disaster in 1961), and finally to his membership
on the controversial Warren Commission, which
investigated President Kennedy's assassination. Until
recently, his pivotal role in promoting a U.S. corporate
relationship with the Nazis was little known. Loftus and
Aarons describe the post-World War I role of Allen, and
his brother, John Foster, in the following terms:
"We first turn to Dulles's
creation of international finance networks for the
benefit of the Nazis. In the beginning, moving money into
the Third Reich was quite legal. Lawyers saw to that. And
Allen and his brother John Foster were not just any
lawyers. They were international finance specialists for
the powerful Wall Street law firm of Sullivan &
Cromwell. . . .
"The Dulles brothers were the ones
who convinced American businessmen to avoid U.S.
government regulation by investing in Germany. It began
with the Versailles Treaty, in which they played no small
role. After World War I the defeated German government
promised to pay war reparations to the Allies in gold,
but Germany had no gold. It had to borrow the gold from
Sullivan & Cromwell's clients in the United States.
Nearly 70 percent of the money that flowed into Germany
during the 1930s came from investors in the United
States, many of them Sullivan & Cromwell clients. . .
"Foster Dulles, as a member of the
board of I.G. Farben, seems to have had little difficulty
in getting along with whoever was in charge. Some of our
sources insist that both Dulles brothers made substantial
but indirect contributions to the Nazi party as the price
of continued influence inside the new German order. . .
