The work of the American special services allowed us to assume that the source of rough diamonds for the military industry of the Third Reich could be De Beers. This partly confirmed the strange reluctance of Ernst Oppenheimer to take the drains of De Beers to the United States. In this case, their exact composition and volume became known not only to a circle of elected employees of the corporation, and the question of how Germany in the 1930s became a major exporter of a diamond tool - fell away by itself. After receiving the "Belgian file", the US Department of Justice initiated the prosecution of De Beers. But in 1945 the case was closed without any consequences, except for the liquidation of De Beers' accounts in American banks.

This was not the only case of this kind, considered by the American Themis. The US intelligence services assembled an impressive dossier on the world's largest oil company Standard Oil. Details were impressive: German crews on Standard Oil tankers, transshipment bases in the Canaries, where oil was pumped into German tankers, refueling German submarines at specially created island bases, direct deliveries of synthetic rubber to Germany and before and after Pearl Harbor, transfer Nazis technology for the production of synthetic fuel, financial ties with the leader of the Nazi defense industry concern "IG Farbenindustrie", the supply of petroleum products to Germany through Spain and North Africa ... T lko through Franco Nazis received monthly 48 thousand tons of oil Texan! And this is in 1944!

As a result of Senate and judicial investigations, Standard Oil suffered a "well-deserved" punishment for cooperation with Hitler - a fine of 50,000 (fifty thousand) dollars and confiscation of the patents received from IG Farbenindustrie in favor of the state.

The facts of cooperation during the Second World War of the largest transnational corporations with the Nazis have always been a secret of the Polishinel. The scale of this process was so significant and the number of people involved in it is so great that it is impossible to keep this regrettable phenomenon in secret or, at least, it was impossible to consign to oblivion. The invoice for the supply of strategic goods (and the financial provision of these transactions) by Anglo-American corporations to the Third Reich is plentiful and reliable, it is set out in hundreds of articles and pages of impressive monographs like Charles Highham's Trading With The Enemy : An Exposure of The Nazi-American Money Plot 1933-1949, New York, 1983).

What is the reason for this historical paradox, which is obviously incompatible with the notions of morality, patriotism and national interests? Throughout most of the second half of the twentieth century, most researchers categorically responded to this question - the reason was the excess profits. Indeed, the Third Reich was able from time to time to pay for the services of strategic goods suppliers, and to pay generously. Despite the fact that by 1936 the gold and currency reserves of Germany had almost zeroed, and since 1939 the Germans were rapidly losing markets for their main exports (industrial equipment, cars, chemical products, weapons), the seizure of European countries, beginning with the Anschluss of Austria, allowed Hitler to operate Looted gold and other convertible values. This opportunity was provided to the Nazis not without the help of British state structures. In November 1938, the government of Czechoslovakia, reasonably assuming the early occupation of the country by the Germans, forwarded its gold reserves - about 80 tons of noble metal to the cellars of the Bank of England. In March 1939, fully occupied Czechoslovakia, Hitler asked to return this gold. Bank of England Governor Montague Normann and Minister of Finance John Simon asked the Fiihrer to kindly agree. No less strange history occurred with 200 tons of Belgian gold, also returned to the Reich from African colonies, where the Belgian government managed to hide it shortly before the occupation of the country. The very Belgian government (and secret information about the location of the Belgian gold reserve) at that time was in exile - in London. During the occupation of Belgium, the Nazis captured in Antwerp a decent number of diamonds of jewelery quality and diamonds. This expensive product was by no means used for technical purposes. Through large diamond dealers, it was sold in the US, in third countries, dollar accounts were opened, through which the supply of strategic raw materials, including technical diamonds, was paid. For such calculations, also used convertible Swiss francs, which Germany received by placing in the banks of the "Zurich gnomes" the loot (including Holocaust victims) gold.
