Deterding, Henri Wilhelm August


Netherlands, Business Person    (1866 to 1939-02-04)
• In "ADOLF Hitler - FOUNDER OF ISRAEL - israel in war with jews" Hennecke Kardel writes: "Of special benefit was also Sir Henry Deterding of the Royal Dutsch Shell Co. whose money came through the Samuel & Samuel of London. Even after Hitler's seizure of power this oilman continued to spend money on Hitler. A hint of this may be found in the "Hamburger Fremdenblatt" ("Foreign Newspaper of Hamburg") of February 15, 1939: "In 1937 ten million guldens were transferred over". A few days before this info appeared, Sir Henry expired in St. Moritz and was buried ceremonially in Dobbin/Mecklenburg. Country Bishop Schultz, a Party Member from Schwerin, honored him with this passage: "With the boldness of Napoleon, with the spiritual power of Cromwell, he had fought against the spirit of destruction and degradation of all human rights by the deeds of the World's Bolshevism. For him the prosperity of Germany was a prerequisite to saving the world from Communism." -- Duck | Google | Bing
