Summary | A groundbreaking investigation of how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions off the horrors of the Third Reich and WWII - and how America allowed them to get away with it. In 1946, Günther Quandt-patriarch of Germany's most iconic industrial empire-was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. In this landmark work of investigative journalism, David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany's richest business dynasties profited from the Third Reich. |
