>>>But Thyssen backed Hitler solely as a nationalist and anti-Communist, viewing Fascism as the only bulwark against Bolshevism. When Hitler led Germany into war and began persecuting Jews and Catholics (Thyssen was a Catholic), the industrialist broke with the Nazis and in 1939 fled to Switzerland.<<< What a noble character...It took him until 1939 to leave? He must not have been paying very close attention to Hitler's plentiful racist propaganda or the violent program of persecution which began, uh, when again was that? >>>Fritz Thyssen, I Paid Hitler, 1941, reprinted in (Port Washington, N.Y.: Kennikat Press, 1972), p. 133. Thyssen says his contributions began with 100,000 marks given in October 1923, for Hitler's attempted `` putsch '' against the constitutional government.<<< Some nationalist.
