Prior to the declaration of war by the Americans on German, Americans were involved in running many German businesses and supporting the German war efforts:

  • Ford founded a branch plant, later known as the Ford-Werke, in Cologne.
  • Standard Oil of New Jersey - today's Exxon - developed intimate links with the German trust IG Farben.
  • Other firms had branches in Germany:Du Pont, Union Carbide, Westinghouse, General Electric, Gilette, Goodrich, Singer, Eastman Kodak, Coca-Cola, and ITT.
  • The Union Bank was inked with the German steel magnate Thyssen, whose financial support enabled Hitler to come to power.
