Nazi Rich List

A chilling investigation into the business tycoons who profited off the Nazi regime and how the world aided and abetted them.

The crimes of Hitler and the Nazis are well known - from orchestrating the Holocaust to launching the most destructive war in history, their evil deeds shaped the course of the 20th century. Yet some chose to profit off the misery they caused, making themselves extraordinarily wealthy and setting up business dynasties that lasted long after the Nazis themselves were gone.

This book examines who these men and women were, how they amassed money by fuelling the Nazi war machine, took control of businesses stolen from Jews and drafted slave labour from Germany's concentration camps. These industrialists spread across Europe and the world and their brands became household names, while never having to account for their dark pasts.

Includes:
• Porsche, BMW and Mercedes, who used slave labour in their production lines and produced military equipment for the Nazi party
• The Swiss banks who stored the Nazi's gold reserves that were plundered from invaded countries
• The US investors such as Du Pont and Ford Motors who loaned money to German manufacturers, indirectly bolstering their military capabilities and preparing the country for war.
