War is a tragedy of death and destruction... But for business, war is an excellent investment opportunity. At Nuremburg, Hjalmar Schacht, the chief economist of Nazi Germany, said bitterly: It was the dollar that started the Second World War, and it was the dollar that won it. Years later, we can finally understand his mysterious words. Formerly secret documents tell us how America invested $474 million in Hitlers economy before early 1941. Some of the biggest American companies, such as Standard Oil, General Motors, ITT, and Ford, made huge profits.
