March 8 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, will maintain its links with the biggest Dutch bank by naming ABN Amro Holding NV’s chief executive officer as a Shell director when a former ABN banker retires from Shell’s board.
Shell intends to elect ABN Amro’s Rijkman Groenink as a non- executive director at its annual general meeting on May 15, to replace Shell director Aarnout Loudon, The Hague-based Shell said in a statement today. Loudon is a former chairman of ABN Amro’s supervisory board, according to Shell.

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.

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.
