Organizers of WWII
Telford Taylor, US-Chief Prosecutor, in his Opening Statement in the trial against IG Farben (BAYER, BASF, Hoechst) executives at the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal 1947, stated: “Their purpose was to turn the German nation into a military machine so it could impose her dominion on Europe, and, later, on other nations beyond the seas. They were the warp and woof of the dark mantle of death that settled over Europe."
The documents below prove unequivocally that the IG Farben cartel and its executives were the real “war criminals” who, with their economic power, had financed the rise of the Nazis and the preparation for WWII.
