Getty helped traitors sell oil to Hitler

The Texan oil billionaire Jean Paul Getty was at the heart
of a conspiracy to provide support to Hitler's Germany
early in the Second World War, according to newly
released intelligence documents.


The file links Getty to a shadowy network of financiers
who supplied the Nazis with fuel in defiance of a British
blockade and accuses him of gathering spies and traitors
around him at his fashionable Hotel Pierre in New York.


It records that he returned from Berlin in 1939"talking
breezily of his old friend Hitler" and that his business
contacts included Serge Rubinstein, a notorious fraudster
who ran part of his empire through London.


The"Suspect Persons" file prepared by the Foreign Office
for the Ministry of Economic Warfare has just been
declassified at the National Archives at Kew, south-west
London. It appears to be the work of the British Security
Co-ordination team in New York, run by William
Stephenson, Churchill's secret envoy to President
Roosevelt, codenamed Intrepid.


He was rumoured to be behind the assassination of one of
the leading figures in the deal to try to stop it continuing.
The dossier was compiled after the detention in Trinidad
in October 1941 of the banker who worked for Hermann
Goering, shifting Nazi funds out of Europe. He was
carrying $100,000 cash and had another $1 million in a
South American bank.


The banker was linked to Rubinstein, the son of a Russian
banker who worked for the last Tsar and had been ruined
by the Bolshevik revolution. Rubinstein had a first class
degree in economics from Cambridge but turned his
talents to making money fast and illegally.


One of his vehicles was the Chosen Corporation of
London which owned the rights to Korean gold mines. It
was eventually wound up by a High Court judge in 1943
to prevent Rubinstein getting his hands on $1.6 million in
assets.


Long before then Rubinstein had milked it of millions more
and transferred the money to New York where he set up a
subsidiary to finance illicit oil deals through Mexico to Nazi
Germany.


Rubinstein became one of a cast of extraordinary
characters who frequented the Hotel Pierre, which Getty
reputedly bought because he wanted to sack a waiter who
was rude to him when he was a guest.


Among them was a Russian-born Briton, who claimed to
work for MI6 but whose sympathies appeared to lie with
Germany. He had been seen meeting German agents in
Cuba and members of the American Far Right, including
the Ku Klux Klan.


The intelligence file records:"Precisely what he was doing
in the USA, and why, has never been elucidated. At the
outbreak of the war he was visiting the US ostensibly on
behalf of the Air Crew Co of Weybridge.


"He appears to have been mixed up in a
Mexican-oil-for-Germany deal, together with Mexican
presidential contender Almazan, and J Paul Getty wealthy
owner of the Hotel Pierre.


"Getty, controller of Mission Oil Corp which holds German
patents licensed by I G Farben and Standard Oil of New
Jersey subsidiaries, returned from Europe in November
1939 talking breezily about his 'old friend' Hitler.


"Later he was said to have sold 1,000,000 barrels of oil to
Germany for delivery via Russia. The Hotel Pierre was
filled with doubtful and flashy characters with
Nazi-Fascist-Vichy antecedents and/or connections, and
when Getty bought control of it he first employed an
Austrian baron, then a German war veteran and an ex-U
boat captain as managers.


"Among residents at the Pierre - living in luxury suites on
no visible income sources - were a Countess Mohle who
spent her time making herself attractive to US Army
officers and was in a perpetual state of wide-eyed
curiosity about military matters."


One of Rubinstein's contacts in the oil deal, William Davis,
was found dead in a hotel room, ostensibly of a heart
attack, although there was a suspicion he had been
assassinated.


Rubinstein himself was the victim of a celebrated
unsolved murder case when he was strangled in his Fifth
Avenue apartment in 1955.


Getty, meanwhile, appeared to have a change of heart
when America entered the war after the Japanese attack
on Pearl Harbor. He volunteered, at the age of 49, for US
Navy service.


His financial empire continued to blossom until he was
named the richest man in the world. He lived out some of
his last days at his Sutton Place estate in Surrey.


His son, John Paul Getty, lived for much of his life in
Britain and was a noted Anglophile who became a British
citizen in 1987.


He was knighted for his support of charity and the arts,
including a £50 million donation to the National Gallery.
He was also devoted to cricket and made a substantial
donation towards a new stand at Lords. He died in a
London clinic, aged 70, last April.


Ein Traumstoff! Schade, dass es keine"Verschwörung" war, sondern das nachvollziehbare Verhalten eines klassischen Kapitalisten: geht Geschäft, geht Geschäft, geht keins, geht keins.

Getty lebte sehr secretive und erst FORTUNE holte ihn als"reichsten Mann der Welt" auf den Cover. Dann kamen seine Weibergeschichten und sein Kunstwahn. Er war geizig wie Hund. Nach einem Interview mit ihm ("a capitalist must not travel") musste ich die Telefonzelle in seiner Halle nutzen, um den Text durchzugeben.

They don't come that way any more...

Gruß!

PS: Dass die Brits schäumen, ist klar. Hoffentlich bomben sie nicht seine schönen Museen in L.A.
