REUTERS: Mon Jul 20, 2009 3:16pm EDT: The latest company to fall victim to the recession is Shell, Europe's largest oil company, which announced last week it is mulling staff cuts at its refineries and chemical plants in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama to cut costs. Among plants under the microscope are those Shell operates jointly with Saudi Aramco and a Deer Park, Texas, refinery operated with Mexican state oil company Pemex. Shell's announcement came less than a week after the European oil major said it may shut or sell its 130,000-barrel-per-day refinery in Montreal, which it has operated since 1933.

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.
