In this episode, I sat down with David de Jong, author of the book Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties.
We discussed the businessmen who's wealth grew exponentially during the Third Reich and Nazism, the forced slave labour and horrific working conditions in their factories, why the Allies let them get away with it and how to this day, some of these businessmen's children and grandchildren remain one of the wealthiest families in Germany: owning some of the best known companies in the world from Volkswagen, BWM and Porsche to Allianz, Krispy Kreams and Pret A Manger.....yes Pret A Manger.`
