• BP is expected to report a more than 30pc fall in third- quarter earnings due to a decline in production and weak gas prices. Analysts forecast BP, which kicks off the quarterly earnings season for the European oil sector, to publish a clean net profit, which strips out non-operating items, of between $3.64bn and $4.22bn. But analysts believe this quarter will mark a low point in BP’s operational and financial performance, with 2008 seen as a period of solid recovery following the reforms being introduced by Tony Hayward, the new chief executive.

• Royal Dutch Shell is expected to unveil weak earnings, hurt by falling production, falling US gas prices and refining margins, and increased costs. Consensus estimates for the three months to September showed core earnings, on an adjusted current cost of supply basis, of $5.64bn, down 18pc from $6.9bn last time, which included $77m in one-off charges. Output is likely to have fallen by around 4pc mainly following hurricane-related disruptions and the natural decline in the group’s various fields, which offset the partial return of production in Nigeria. Shell warned in July that production for the year will likely end up at the low-end of its guidance of 3.3-3.5m barrels of oil equivalent per day.

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.
