ROYAL DUTCH SHELL NAZI SECRETS: FUNDING HITLER

By Alfred Donovan and John Donovan

ROYAL DUTCH SHELL NAZI SECRETS

Displayed right is an article from the Dutch newspaper “Limburger Koerier”, headlined “SIR HENRI DETERDING”, plus a related receipt/note, both displayed on page 480 of “A History of Royal Dutch Shell” Vol 1.

This extract from the Limburger Koerier of  29 December 1932 was only one of the many articles in the national and international press speculating about who might be funding the Nazi party, which was deeply in debt. Deterding’s name came up more than once.

The cutting is exactly as shown, with the rest of the article missing, conveniently, just when the name “Sir Hen” appears.

The headline states:

“SIR HENRI DETERDING

Sponsor of the German National Socialists?”

Sir Henri was the founder of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, which injected massive funds into the Nazis regime soon after its inception and right up to the start of World War 2.

The financial support and political backing provided by Deterding and Royal Dutch Shell may well have changed the course of history.

The article revealed that the Nazi party was 12 million marks in debt.

It then listed examples of extravagant spending by Hitler and his private army of tens of thousands. It mentions expensive houses and cars, horse riding, air travel and expensive hotels. The article goes on to speculate who was funding it all. It mentions foreign great industrialists contributing to Hitler’s political AND military organization.

The part substantiating the headline and sub-headline, which suggests exactly who was behind the funding, has been judiciously removed/censored by an unknown party.

We have already provided volumes of evidence confirming who was the main corporate sponsor of Hitler and the Nazi party: Royal Dutch Shell during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding.
