Royal Dutch Shell, the third-largest of the oil giants behind Exxon-Mobil and BP, is producing fourth-quarter figures on Thursday. For the first time the group will disclose separately the results of its oil sands operations in Canada. Normally the Canadian results have been included within the overall exploration and production segment of the figures, but such is the size of the investment and its potential returns that a separate disclosure will be welcomed by analysts. Full-year profits should be around £20 billion, which would be a decrease of 10%. Analysts suggest that weaker refining margins in the industry and currency adjustments will probably mean a fall in profit to £20bn. However, the latest forecasts made by three brokers vary massively with Exane BNP Paribus predicting £21.7bn, ABN Amro going for £24.5bn and one broker who declined to be named predicting less than £13bn.

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.
