Summary of "Hitler was a Freemason"
Freemasonry and Nazism: An Intertwined History
The video challenges the common belief that Freemasonry was persecuted by the Nazis, arguing instead that Freemasonry was deeply intertwined with Nazism. It presents evidence that some Nazi symbols, such as the forget-me-not flower, originated as Masonic emblems. Furthermore, several prominent Nazis and their financiers were Freemasons.
Key Figures and Connections
-
Henry Ford A 33rd degree Freemason, Ford financially supported the Nazi party and was admired by Hitler.
-
Hjalmar Schacht Hitler’s economics minister and president of the Reichsbank, Schacht came from a Masonic family and maintained extensive Masonic connections. His ties extended to the Young Turks and the Armenian genocide.
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS)
Schacht founded the BIS, which played a crucial role in facilitating the Nazi war machine by:
- Handling looted gold and financing
- Collaborating closely with the Bank of England and Montagu Norman, a Freemason and Nazi sympathizer
Despite World War II, the BIS continued operations, funding both Nazi Germany and the British war effort. American banker Thomas McKittrick, linked to intelligence spymaster Allen Dulles, ensured the BIS’s continued functioning during the war, highlighting cooperation between Allied and German business interests.
Post-War Trials and Outcomes
After the war, Schacht and other BIS bankers were tried for war crimes but were acquitted. Notably, the lead prosecutor was himself a high-degree Freemason.
Conclusion
The video concludes that Freemasonry was not an enemy of Nazism but rather a foundational element of its financial and political networks.
