"Both brothers had spent large amounts of time in Germany, where 

Sullivan and Cromwell had 

 

 

considerable interest during the early 

1930’s, having represented several provincial governments, some large 

industrial combines, a number of big American companies with 

interests in the Reich, and some rich individuals."65

Allen Dulles later became a director of J. Henry Schroder Company. 

Neither he nor J. Henry Schroder were to be suspected of being pro-

Nazi or pro-Hitler; the inescapable fact was that if Hitler did not 

become Chancellor of Germany, there was little likelihood of getting a 

Second World War going, the war which would double their profits.*

The Great Soviet Encyclopaedia states "The banking house Schroder 

Bros. (it was Hitler’s banker) was established in 1846; its partners today 

are the barons von Schroeder, related to branches in the United States 

and England."66**

The financial editor of "The Daily Herald" of London wrote on Sept. 30, 

1933 of "Mr. Norman’s decision to give the Nazis the backing of the 

Bank (of England.)" John Hargrave, in his biography of Montagu 

Norman says,

"It is quite certain that Norman did all he could to assist Hitlerism to gain 

and maintain political power, operating on the financial plane from his 

stronghold in Threadneedle Street." [i.e. Bank of England.--Ed.]

Baron Wilhelm de Ropp, a journalist whose closest friend was Major 

F.W. Winterbotham, chief of Air Intelligence of the British Secret Service, 

brought the Nazi philosopher, Alfred Rosenberg, to London and 

introduced him to Lord Hailsham, Secretary for War, Geoffrey Dawson, 

editor of The Times, and Norman, Governor of the Bank of England.
