Once Saudi Sheikh Yamani, one of the founding fathers of OPEC, answering the question: "How much does the price of oil depend on OPEC decisions, and how much on market factors?" Remarked: "The first two digits (to the point) are determined by OPEC, and the last (After the decimal point) are fundamental factors. " The idea that modern markets are more or less manageable, shared by almost all players and analysts, this is not a revelation. Problems arise when trying to determine the motives of players capable of generating a control pulse. The postulate of obvious economic expediency, underlying the behavior of any market participant, allows you to create more or less reliable forecasting structures using the conceptual apparatus of technical and fundamental analysis. But from time to time there are data that contradict the usual models.

Virtually all serious sources categorically state that the De Beers Corporation refused to cooperate with Hitler's Germany. The central sales organization of the diamond monopoly blocked the sale of diamonds to the Third Reich, this circumstance had a very negative impact on the development of the German defense industry and served as one of the indirect causes of the military defeat of the Nazi state.

Indeed, De Beers Corporation has always been and remains the pearl of the British crown, headed by the Oppenheimer family - ethnic Jews from Germany and traditionally has close ties with the banking houses of the Rothschilds and Morgan. This, of course, serious circumstances for the emergence of unavoidable contradictions with the author of "Mein Kampf." It was in 1933 (by the time Hitler came to power) that the London Diamond Syndicate was transformed into the Central Sales Organization, whose president was the owner of De Beers, Ernst Oppenheimer. In the 30s - 40s, sales of about 94% of the world diamond mining were carried out through the CSO, so that "De Beers", no doubt, was able to completely cut off the supplies of Germany.

Germany was a pioneer in the use of technical diamonds, first as abrasives for grinding the world's best optics Zeiss. In 1927, Krupp patented the material "Widia" (wie Diamant - "as a diamond"). This agglomerate of tungsten carbide and cobalt has revolutionized metalworking - the speed and purity of cutting the hardest steels have increased by orders of magnitude. But to sharpen the incisors of Widia could only be a diamond tool. Approximately at the same time, German engineering firms create and implement technologies and a diamond tool for finishing honing, which allows increasing the life of motor vehicles, aircraft, tanks and submarines by several times. In turn, there were diamond wire dies for radio electronics and dozens, if not hundreds, of diamond applications in the military-industrial complex.
