Kane County has agreed to accept $350,000 from Shell Pipeline Co. LP, of Houston, in exchange for dropping the firm from a million-dollar lawsuit filed a year ago by the county in the firm’s disposal of contaminated soil at a county-owned landfill in Geneva.
The settlement was approved Tuesday by the Kane County Board after a closed-door session discussing the litigation.
An environmental engineering firm involved with Shell’s efforts to dispose of some benzene-laced soil from a 1980s spill site in Kankakee County remains the lone defendant in the lawsuit.
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.

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.
