LONDON (AFX) – Royal Dutch Shell PLC today named outgoing Nokia chairman and chief executive Jorma Ollila as its new non-executive chairman starting June 1 next year.

Shell’s chief executive Jeroen van der Veer added: “He comes to us with a wealth of valuable experience and an excellent record of success. We are sure that we have found the best person for the job.”

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.
