Nazi Billionaires

The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties
Book • 2022
In this landmark work of investigative journalism, David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties, including those controlling firms like BMW, Daimler-Benz, IG Farben, Siemens, and ThyssenKrupp, amassed untold money and power by collaborating with the Nazi regime.

De Jong uses previously untapped sources to show how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave laborers, and increased weapons production to support Hitler’s army.

The book also exposes how America’s political expediency allowed these billionaires to avoid punishment for their crimes, leaving a lasting impact on the German and global economy.
