The achievements of the Dutch founder of the mighty Royal Dutch Shell Group, Sir Henri Deterding described in a biography as “The Most Powerful Man In The World” deserved that accolade. He was rewarded with a knighthood after helping the British in WW1.
In later years, Sir Henri became an ardent Nazi. He financially backed the Third Reich and met directly with Hitler.
Evidence signed by Hitler confirmed Deterding’s financial support for the Nazis. The funds to support the Nazis were generated on Shell petrol forecourts around the world.
At the time, Shell publicly boasted about the importance of its financial contribution to the German economy, in which it was a significant player via a subsidiary company controlled by Dutch Directors of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. The subsidiary became involved in Nazi military planning.
Before the outbreak of WW2 directors of the Royal Dutch Shell Group collaborated in the annexation and occupation of sovereign countries by the Nazis - Austria and Czechoslovakia.
Several Dutch directors of the Royal Dutch Shell Group also engaged in anti-Semitic policies against Shell employees and were guilty of collaboration and appeasement.
Deterding died just before the outbreak of WW2. He was honoured with a Nazi ceremonial funeral near Berlin attended by Royal Dutch Shell Group directors mingling with Nazi military officers. Hundreds of mourners took part in the funeral procession. A glowing tribute on behalf of the German nation was inscribed on a wreath sent by Hitler.
Fears that the Nazis intended to exploit the death of Sir Henri, just before the start of WW2, to seize control of the Royal Dutch Shell Group, were well founded. The UK National Archives has kindly given permission for related documents and correspondence to be featured within this book.
As a major financial contributor to Nazi Germany in pre-WW2 years, the Royal Dutch Shell Group under Dutch leadership arguably had indirect responsibility for the death toll in the subsequent war, in which over 50 million people perished.
Comprehensive, independent information and evidence, accessible via several hundred links, confirm the veracity of the stated facts.

Shocking exposé of Shell Oil and the petroleum oil industry

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Prior to reading Mr. Donovan's book I was well aware of Standard Oil's perfidy to its customers and to America. But in comparison to Henri Deterding's betrayal to his countries (Great Britain and The Netherlands) and Shell's customers, Standard was just playing in the minor leagues. The text is accompanied by an excellent selection of images and online links to really round out an excellent eBook reading experience.
