sk Few York, June 4th. 1940 , irs. Franklin D. Roosage The White House Washington, 3B. C. CRIMINAL DIVISION JUN 7 ~ 1940 When my wife and I were abroad in 1930, we heard from many source! that we congidered reliable that the industrialist Fritz {Thyssen and *our" Henry Ford were the original backers pn a big scale; of Hitler ever since 1923. Mr.Thyssen has admitted this and is now a fugitive from the country of his birth. Mr. Henry Ford and Mr.) Lindbergh are the only Americans who were decorated by Hitler. For what?. Can these two Americana answer the ya enigma. Mr. Henry Ford employed nearly all the Nazis who were sent ‘over here to discover our industrial secrets; even the netorious Fritz 1k Kuhn was employed by Ford. Yord was the first American who (Nazi style ’ dealt in organized anti semjtiem in his{Dearborn Indepencgent. Was he decorated for the base vili~ations published againat the Jews in his sheet; or was he decorated for his support of the Hitler cause in order to break up thefslabor unions in Germany where he had factories, the same we asp he tried to do here, although [up to now) without success. an 7 tm _ tit L, Under such circumstances could this man Henry Ford be entrusted With the building of our airplanes which he claims to be able to duild *Tin Lizzie" style in less than no time. I suppose the Nazis in his employ would doubtless “assist to do a good job", especially if aa he etates; there is no interference by our government. . ie. Ye qo As to Lindbergh's conduct "the other person decorated by Hitler" 1 2" after his baby waa murdered by an active Yorkville Nazi in this country, he ran away to England to make England his home and bring up his children there. Fo sooner did it appear that war would come to Europe, Me again ran away from England and returned to the United States and tried ta tell wea on several occasions that our country was not in danger; provided that we did not interfere in European affairs; as if any serious American had asked this foolish young man for his opinion. Bid he get his decoratioc ‘ from Hitler in order to play the well known Hitler game, Probably] uncon- aciously, of advising atrict neutraiity in order to become an eaaier prey for Hitler, like Belgium; which country was aleo strietly neutral. _. These are serious cbservations to think about in these reall dangerous days. RECORDED & IND I am enclosing herewith a clipping of a photo ope of our army... fields. Has anyone ever seen a photo of a German army ‘Fiela?. Of course not; Why not mail to Hitler all our plans of shipe, mentee Tea etc. In the above manner, he gets them anyway.
