Where did Hitler get the money to fund the Nazi war machine seeing how Germany was bankrupt after WWI?

Question

I know Prescott Bush sat on the Board of Directors of a company that was involved in Nazi dealings and the company even had his assets frozen and his property seized under The Trading With The Enemy Act, but it wasn't just his company. There had to have been other companies right?

Answer 1

Yes, it was more than Prescott Bush's bank. Many large US corporations assisted, among them Ford and GM.

Answer 2

No if you did some serious research you would find that Germany never fully mobilized their resources they mismanaged their industrial capabilities and did not secure enough raw materials to continue the war. War is Logistics he who has the most and can out resource their opponent wins, that's why England never fell they had the industrial might of the US supplementing them that's what the battle of the Atlantic was all about and when Germany could not stem the tide and stop the Atlantic convoys they were doomed it would have been just a matter of time.If Russia had not been invaded. One could argue that without the oil from the middle east and the Caucasus the war would have ended sooner since Germany would not have been able to fuel it's war machine.They had to invade Russia just to get oil and they failed. Russia would have to be included in any strategy devised by Germany since it stood directly in the path of the number one resource Germany required. Germany may have had some good equipment but they ignored the most vital prerequisites for waging war you can have all the troops in the world but without the Beans and bullets all you have are some hungry men in uniforms waiting for the inevitable defeat.

Answer 3

Hitler's government first rebuilt the German economy. They eliminated the rampant inflation and revalued the currency. They got heavy industry going again and started infrastructure projects. A military build up is actually good for the economy, it gets people working again. Don't buy into all the conspiracy nonsense. Even if some are true, they didn't provide anywhere near the kind of cash necessary to rebuild an entire nation.

The Nazi government was actually very effective and productive in it's early years. But the last six years of it's existence has completely overshadowed their previous successes.

Answer 4

From the same international bankers that were funding us, of course. One of these banks was Brown Brothers-Harriman.This bank was directly linked to the Bush family as seen in this exert from the linked info below. The family's ties to the Nazis was much deeper than this single banking thing.

"The grandfather of President George Walker Bush (Skull & Bones, 1968) was Prescott Bush (Skull & Bones, 1917), and his great grand father was George Herbert Walker. Prescott Bush and George Herbert (Bert) Walker were directors of the London-affiliated New York banking house of Brown Brothers-Harriman and its various fronts, which funded and directed the military-industrial complex behind Hitler and the Nazi revolution. "

Answer 6

He seized the gold reserves of all the countries he conquered, as well as all the gold stolen from the Jews he murdered (right down to the gold fillings in their teeth!), and as we now know thanks to Dr. Daniel Goldhagen's research that resulted in his famous book "Nazi Gold" Switzerland was his conduit to the outside world during the war, so he had no problems financing his "blitzkreigs".

Answer 7

Also with money from the confiscated, "Arianised" Jewish prorerties, plus the liquidited assets of Austria and Tchecoslovakia

Answer 8

"Hitler wanted to rule Europe and wanted to find a way to fund his war. To do that he took advantage of the xenophobic attitudes of many Germans, thought up clever ways to make the Jews appear to be less "human" and confiscated their property, killing the Jews to fund his war."

Answer 9

The Vatican, the House of Rothschild. It's it ironic that the average Jew would be very offended if a non-Jew would dare criticize the Rothschilds. What a world.
