It's more like the dog who didn't bark. You don't know what happened, but something happened. Other stuff is knowable, but we don't get to see it, like the Soviet archives, or whatever personal papers we don't read because they are in German, and the Germans don't read because they'd rather forget. What we know is bad enough, anyway.

Did I mention that I am taking a graduate level history class at George Mason this summer, in the history of the Nazis? Just found out that I can access a number of full text databases off campus just by using my library card number. I am logged onto a database called JSTOR - just ran a search on Rathenau - 91 articles. Heaven! Maybe I should change my name to BlueStocking.:)

Too late to edit - so I'll just add. Rathenau and Schacht were adepts at Rationalization, the early attempts at planned economies. I think of them as sort of anti-Schumpeters, in the sense that they thought that creative destruction was wasteful. Not that I've read Schumpeter yet, but the concept of creative destruction is cool.
