power. Astonishingly, he shows that not only was the publishing of Mein Kampf funded by an
American, it contained anti-Semitic writing written by Henry Ford. The Diaries of William
Dodd, the American Ambassador to Germany, support that Wall Street was involved with Hitler.
Dodd’s diaries state “that in 1933 a stream of Wall Street Bankers and industrialists filed through
the US Embassy in Berlin, expressing their admiration for Adolf Hitler – and anxious to find
ways to do business with the new totalitarian regime”.

Hitler served in the German army in WW I and was recovering from wounds in a hospital
when the war ended. In 1919 he got involved with the German Worker’s Party, which later
became known as the Nazi Party. Soon Hitler became leader of the party. In the early 1920’s the
German tax authorities questioned him about his source of income and he claimed to be an
impoverished writer. Yet, at the time Hitler had an automobile, a private secretary, an assistant, a
chauffeur and expenses regarding his political activities that were obviously being funded by
someone.
Antony C. Sutton notes that although the source of Hitler’s backing has gone largely
undiscovered, it is obvious he was getting substantial foreign backing. On December 20, 1922
the New York Times reported that one of those backing “Adolf Hitler’s nationalist and anti-
Semitic” movement was Henry Ford. “Simultaneously, the Berlin newspaper Berliner Tageblatt
appealed to the American Ambasador in Berlin to investigate and halt Henry Ford’s intervention
into German domestic affairs. It was reported that Hitler’s foreign backers had furnished a
‘spacious headquarters’ with a ‘host of highly paid lieutenants and officials.’ Henry Ford’s
portrait was prominently displayed on the walls of Hitler’s personal office.”
The funds Ford provided to Hitler in 1923 were used in his failed Bavarian Rebellion. At
Hitler’s trial, vice president Auer of the Bavarian Diet testified:
The Bavarian Diet has long had the information that the Hitler movement
was partly financed by an American anti-Semitic chief, who is Henry Ford…
Herr Hitler openly boasts of Mr. Ford’s support and praises Mr. Ford as a great
individualist and a great anti-Semite.

Hitler received a light 5-year prison sentence for planning the rebellion but was freed
approximately 9-months later in 1924. During his time in prison he wrote Mein Kampf (My
Struggle), which states his ideas, belief and plans for Germany’s future. Hitler wasn’t secretive;
he plainly stated his plan to conquer Europe, and his beliefs that Germans where the superior
race and that Jews were the cause of evil in the world.

In writing Mein Kampf, Hitler relied
heavily on Henry Ford’s book, The International Jew; he “utilized sections of the book verbatim
in writing Mein Kampf. The International Jew had been previously widely circulated by the
Nazis; they had even translated it into a dozen languages.

Another American supporter of Hitler was Ernest Sedgewick Hanfstaengl (or Putzi).
Putzi was a close friend of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (F.D.R.) and one of Hitler’s closest
supporters. Putzi helped finance the “first Nazi press” called the Volkische Beobachter, he
financed the publication of Mein Kampf and he had a functioning staff waiting for Hitler when he
was released from prison. F.D.R. new of Putzi’s association and aid to the Nazi’s and rather than
