Elroy,

That IG Farben did or did not have formal patent rights is not material. There were hundreds, and perhaps more than a thousand, explicit monopoly agreements between IG and various US firms. Most of these agreements were not in the public domain, but after WWII, US occupation forces discovered them in IG's archives. Details about these agreements were not released to the public and internal US Military Gov. reports were 'classified.'

You wrote: As for Hitler, many large American corporations did business with Germany until war was officially declared.

Perhaps you did not mean to imply that corporate relations did not continue after war was declared. From my reading of archival documents, the assumption that corporate diplomacy ended with the declaration of war is not warranted. A comprehensive history of US/German corporate relationships between 1940-46 has not been written.
