Thanks. And you also are on the money. Literally. The Swiss Bankers allowed Hitler to launder the money he stole from German Jews (and others). And they returned that money to the Nazi’s (keeping of course enough of it to prosper handsomely) to provide the funding Hitler needed to build his war machine. (I see an anology with FTX. Taking client money, laundering it, stealing some of it, and then returning some of it in a different form to fund politicians and NGOs who are not on the side of freedom. There might not be literal bombs or gas chambers. Yet anyway. But the essence of the concept is eerily similar.)
And in the lead up to the war, many German citizens (including Jews) deposited their life saving in Swiss banks, believing it would be safe. When the war ended many of those people were dead. And the Swiss bankers made little or no effort to try and track down next of kin and return the money. Instead, they kept it (stole it) and made themselves filthy rich.
Without Swiss money Hitler could not have built out his war machine. Also, we should not overlook Prescott Bush and his efforts to provide the Nazi’s with funding. The Bush family ties to the Nazi’s run wide and deep.
