Chapter 51 5. Venture capital picked Hitler

The New York Times of November 24, 1933 reported a book entitled "Sidney.Warburg booklet.The book was first published in the Netherlands in 1933, and it was banned after only a few days on the shelves.Several surviving copies of the book were translated into English, and the English version of the book was exhibited in the British Museum before being banned from the public and researchers.The author of the book Sidney.Warburg is believed to be a member of the Warburg family, one of the largest banking families in the United States. The content of the book was later strongly denied by the Warburg family.

This mysterious booklet reveals the secret history of how banking families in the United States and Britain funded and supported Hitler's rise to power.According to the book, around 1929, Wall Street helped Germany repay war reparations through the Dawes Plan and the Younger Plan.From 1924 to 1931, Wall Street lent Germany a total of 138 billion marks through these two schemes, while Germany paid a total of 86 billion marks during this period Germany actually received huge financial assistance from the United States to reorganize its army and prepare for war.The loans to Germany were actually financed by the public through the sale of German bonds on Wall Street, from which the Morgan and Warburg families reaped handsome profits.

A problem arose during this process, and that was the high-pressure policy of the French government on the issue of German compensation.This policy caused a considerable part of American loans to be frozen in Germany and Austria, and France received the main part of German compensation, and the ultimate source of this money was Wall Street.The Wall Street bankers who watched France getting more and more disliked held a meeting in June 1929. Bankers from Morgan and Rockefeller and the heads of the Federal Reserve got together to discuss how to get Germany out of France. liberated from high pressure.The meeting reached a consensus that it was necessary to get rid of the French grip by means of revolution.One possible leader was Hitler.Sidney, holding a US diplomatic passport and carrying letters from President Hoover and Rockefeller.Warburg was ordered to make personal contact with Hitler.

Sidney's contacts with the Nazis were not smooth, and the U.S. consulate in Munich was ineffective. Later, he only met Hitler with the help of the mayor of Munich.At the initial meeting, the Wall Street bankers proposed an aggressive foreign policy and incited retaliation against France. Hitler's asking price was not low, and he could say anything for 100 million marks.Sidney sent Hitler's offer back to New York. The bankers felt that Hitler's lion opened his mouth. Twenty-four million dollars was ridiculously high, and they made a counter-offer of ten million dollars.Hitler, who was still young at the time, readily agreed.

According to Hitler's request, the money was wired to a bank in the Netherlands, and then divided into several batches of checks and sent to ten cities in Germany.When Sidney returned to New York to report to the bankers, Rockefeller became fascinated by Hitler's Nazi claims.Immediately afterwards, the New York Times, which had always been indifferent to Hitler, suddenly began to regularly introduce Nazi doctrine and Hitler's speeches. In December 1929, Harvard University also began to study the National Socialist movement in Germany. When President Hoover promised in 1931 that the French government would consult France first on any debt settlement, he immediately fell out of favor on Wall Street. Many historians believe that President Hoover's subsequent election defeat was directly related to this incident.

In October 1931, Hitler sent Sidney a letter.So Wall Street bankers held another meeting, this time with Norman, chairman of the Bank of England.Two factions of opinion were formed at the meeting, people headed by Rockefeller were inclined to Hitler, while others were not sure.Norman thought that the $10 million spent on Hitler was more than enough, and he doubted that Hitler would ever act.The meeting finally decided to further support Hitler. Once again Sidney was in Germany, and at a meeting of Hitler's supporters it was brought up to him that the SA and SS were very short of machine guns, carbines and pistols.At this time, a large number of weapons and equipment have been stored in cities in Belgium, the Netherlands, and Austria on the German border. As long as the Nazis pay cash, they can pick up the goods immediately.Hitler told Sidney that he had two plans, violent seizure of power and legal rule.Hitler asked: 500 million marks are needed to seize power violently, and 200 million marks are needed to rule legally. How will you bankers decide?

Five days later, Wall Street called back stating that such an amount was simply unacceptable.We don't want to and can't accept it.The source explained that a move of funds of this magnitude to Europe would shake up financial markets. Sidney made a further report, and three days later Wall Street called back saying: Report received.Be prepared to pay ten million, fifteen million at most.Advise this person on the need for an offensive approach to foreign policy. The legal path to governance of $15 million was finalized by Wall Street bankers.The method of payment must conceal the source of funds, of which 5 million is paid to the Monderson Bank in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 5 million is paid to the Bank of Rotterdam, and 5 million is paid to the Bank of Italy.

On February 27, 1933, the night of the arson attack in the German Reichstag, Sidney and Hitler had their third meeting. Hitler proposed that at least 100 million marks would be needed to complete the final power-seizure action. Wall Street only agreed. Up to seven million dollars.Hitler proposed to send 5 million to the Bank of Italy in Rome, and another 2 million to the Renarnia Company in Dusseldorf. After finally completing the mission, Sidney couldn't help feeling: I strictly carried out my mission down to the last detail.Hitler was the greatest dictator in Europe.The world has been watching him for months.His actions will ultimately prove him good or bad, and I think he is the latter.To the people of Germany, I sincerely hope I'm wrong.The world still has to bow to Hitler, poor world, poor human beings.
