Nazi Industrialist Who Armed Hitler's Military: Alfried Krupp
15m
Alfried Krupp inherited one of Germany's most powerful industrial empires and turned it into a cornerstone of Hitler's war machine. As head of the Krupp company, he oversaw the production of tanks, artillery, submarines, and steel while exploiting tens of thousands of forced laborers, prisoners of war, and concentration camp inmates. Krupp officials even traveled to Auschwitz to personally select Jewish women for slave labor in the company's factories.
Discover how Alfried Krupp helped arm Nazi Germany, the brutal conditions inside Krupp-run labor camps, the exploitation of concentration camp prisoners, the Krupp Trial at Nuremberg, and how one of the Third Reich's most notorious industrialists regained both his freedom and his fortune only a few years after the war.
