1. 1. Nazi Billionaires

   The Dark History of Germany's Wealthiest Dynasties

   

   A detailed investigation of how Germany’s wealthiest industrialists, bankers and dynastic families collaborated with, financed and profited from the Nazi regime—through Aryanization of Jewish businesses, expropriation, and the use of forced labor—and then managed to preserve and expand their fortunes after 1945. Drawing on archival evidence and case studies, it follows the postwar reintegration of these elites into West German industry and politics, the limited and contested attempts at legal and moral accountability, and the long shadow their actions cast over restitution and memory. The book argues that the continuity of elite economic power helped obscure responsibility and shaped the postwar economic order.
