EDWARD GRIFFIN
The Insidious IG Farben Story
See:
Hitler
I.G. Farben. I.G. Farbenindustrie AG German Industry and the Holocaust
Notwithstanding the presence on the IGF board of several Jewish members,
and the fact that even after 1933 Nazi propaganda continued for a time to attack
IGF as an example of an international Jewish firm that was exploiting its
workers, the contacts between IGF’s management and the government became
increasingly close, since the products of the great chemical conglomerate were
an indispensable element in the Nazi’s drive to re-arm.
The Four- Year plan proposed by Hitler in 1936, which
intended to put the entire German industry on a war footing, further enhanced
IGF’s influence. A member of the board, Carl Krauch, was given a leading
position in the organisation, headed by Goering that had the task of
implementing the Four – Year Plan. By this time the company was also adapting
itself to the regime’s ideological requirements; in 1933 Bosch had still
objected – although in vain – to the removal of Jewish scientists from
the company and from various scientific institutions, but by 1937 no Jews
were left in the IGF executive or on its board of directors.
