LONDON, June 25 – The Royal Dutch/Shell Group’s former chairman, Sir Philip B. Watts, received a severance package worth £1.06 million ($1.93 million), the amount he would have earned had he stayed on until retirement, the company said on Friday.
Sir Philip was asked to step down in March, after an internal investigation found that the company had overstated its oil and gas reserves estimates for several years. He was the head of exploration and production, the division in charge of reserves, from 1997 to 2000, when much of the overbooking occurred. Sir Philip, who turned 59 on Friday, had been scheduled to retire in June 2005.
Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
