The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1940-10-30

pearing today publishes for the first
time information charging that Big
American money and Big men in high
financial places furnished Hitler with
money and with ornaments to bring
about fascism in Germany
Between 1923 and 1888, when he
took over, Adolf Hitler received mon
ey from Americans - not German
Americans-and no less than 1000
Thompson submachine guns
There were only 21,000 of these
arms made. They were too late for
the First World war The Nye NUM-
lions committee traced almost every
one, found that the gangsters had
stolen small fraction, that many not
able Americans (including publishers)
had bought them for gangster pur-
poses or protection, that police
chief had some, but that the largest
single shipment was made to Hitler
for the use of the Brownshirts in
capturing the streets of Munich and
Berlin.
The 1000 guns went via Holland;
they were shipped by innocent looking
names; but the Nye committee be-
lieves that big American money and
big men bought and shipped these
munitions. (Source: Nye Committee

According to In Fact, Henry Ford
was one of the main contributors to
Hitlers campaign.
'Hitler's biographer, Konrad Heiden
states: That Henry Ford, the famous
automobile manufacturer, gave money
to the National Socialists directly or
indirectly, has never been disputed
Hitler, Biography, p. 221.)
In his History of National Social
ism" Heiden quotes the Manchester
Guardian reporting Hitler receiving
financial support from two American
millionaire anti-semites (p. 1922.
Following the 1928 Beer Hall Putsch
Herr Auer, vice president of the Ba-
varian Diet sent report to President
Ebert saying:
The Bavarian Diet has long had
the information that the Hitler move
ment was partly financed by an Amer
lean anti-Semitic chief, Henry Ford
Mr. Ford's interest in the Bavarian
anti-Semitic movement began a year
ago when one of Mr.. Fords agents,
seeking to sell tractors, came into
contact with Dietrich Eichert ii. e.,
EckarD, the notorious Pan-German.
Shortly after, Herr Eichart asked Mr..
Ford's agent for financial aid The
agent returned to America and imme-
diately Mr.. Fords money began COM
ing to Munich
Herr Hitler openly boasts of Mr.
Fords support and praises Mr.. Ford
as a great individualist and great
anit-Semite. A photograph of Mr.
Ford hangs in Herr Hitler's quarters
which is the center of the monarch
list movement
This report was made for use at |
the trial of Hitler, February 7, 1924. |
Jonathan N. Leonard CsThe Trag- |
edy of Henry Ford'') asks whether
this report has anything to do with
the resignation of Ford's European
agent W. c. Anderson, and with the
which Ford later encoun-
tered in selling cars to the Republic.
In Fact continues:
Ford is not the only American mill
Iionaire who has been awarded Hit
er's swastika medal for services to
naziism: the actual citation is for
foreigners who have de-
served well of the Reich James D.
