How Nazi Germany benefitted America’s corporations

In October 1936, the US Ambassador to Nazi Germany, William Dodd, who was previously a history professor, wrote a letter to president Franklin Roosevelt elaborating on US-Nazi business collaboration. In the letter, Ambassador Dodd revealed that “more than a hundred American corporations have subsidiaries here [in Nazi Germany] or cooperative understandings”. Dodd noted that the US chemical corporation, DuPont, has links to German companies “that are aiding in the armament business”. DuPont’s chief partner was the German chemical corporation IG Farben, which was centrally involved in strengthening the Nazi war machine. IG Farben was later implicated in slave labour practices and the Holocaust.
