Daniel Melnikov; Stalin's inner circle. Sunday Times. 28th February 1995 LOOTING AND PILLAGE The looting of everything German proceeded. Every house and every apartment was entered, searched, and stripped of everything at once valuable and moveable - jewelry, silverware, works of art, clothing, household appliances, money. Stores, shops and warehouses were ransacked. Farms were deprived of their farm animals, machinery, seed stocks, fodder, wine, food stocks. Telephones were removed, telegraph equipment dismantled. Cars, trucks, even fire engines were seized. The Russians and the British, and the Americans too found themselves knee-deep in booty, loot, and the remnants of a standard of living that most could only dream about William HG. Stoneman, Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent, stationed with the U.S. Army, wrote in May, 1945 of: ".... great stocks of food have been left to the reckless inroads of looters. Millions of dollars worth of rare things varying from intricate Zeiss lenses to butter and cheese and costly automobiles are being destroyed because the Army has not organized a system of recovery of valuable enemy material. (the term 'recovery' is a euphemism for looting). They (front line troops) are rough and ready about enemy property. They naturally take what they want if it looks interesting... but what front line troops take is nothing compared to the damage caused by wanton vandalism. Today we have two more examples of this business, that would bring tears to the eyes of anybody who has appreciation of material values." He went on to describe, scattered everywhere, millions of dollars worth of plundered goods. The troops simply couldn't carry everything that they could steal so they vandalized it and left it to rot. It is estimated that the value of looted properties by the allied armies ran into hundreds of millions of dollars and 'deprived the German civilian population the comforts and necessities so sorely needed." THE MUGGERS FALL OUT WHEN THE U.S. SELLS THEIR STOLEN PROPERTY Such was the whirlwind of looting by all the invading armies that the Russians complained that, "American officials have stolen equipment from plants in a zone earmarked for shipment to Russia on reparations account and sold it to foreign countries at a profit." It was decided to organize the destruction of the German economy to the levels of 1932, when before Hitler's election a third of the population was out of work. LOOTED 'Bought' .... again, a euphemism for seizure. Between two and four billion dollars worth of German property exchanged for worthless military currency... by order. "As to crimes against property, the explanation is obvious. No effective steps were taken to discourage looting by the invading armies during the war. Officers and men alike committed this crime and for much the most part went unpunished. It was tolerated under such euphemism as 'souvenir collecting'... the fault of course, lies with the high command which permitted the abuse." - Chicago Sunday Tribune, November 18th 1945 Over 200 art masterpieces were looted and are still held by the Americans. 154
LOOTING BMW's FACTORY: "The British seem to be everywhere when there is any scientific or industrial information to be gleaned. Commander Seiller selected several items to take back to Paris in the C-47. Slight argument with the British about taking anything anywhere except to England. Settled by rolling up an American Army truck and loading in the items required." The Diaries of Charles A. Lindbergh, p.953. Harcourt Brace Javanovich, N.Y. 1970 MANUFACTURE PROHIBITED The production of shipbuilding, manufacture and operation of aircraft, ball and taper roller bearings, all heavy machine tools, heavy materials, aluminum, magnesium, beryllium, vanadium, radio active materials, hydrogen peroxide, synthetic oils, gasoline, ammonia. MANUFACTURE CONTROLLED (RIGIDLY) All exports and imports "Foreign trade in the ordinary sense has been impossible." Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest, Institute of American Economics RESTRICTED Domestic industries, mechanical engineering (by two thirds), synthetic textiles, chemical production (reduced to 45% of old levels), steel production limited to 5,800,000 tons a year whereas previously it was 54,000,000 tons a year. PROHIBITED OR RIGIDLY CONTROLLED German science (by direct prohibition and sackings of scientists), public and private scientific bodies, research and experimental institutions, laboratories, etc., connected with economic activities, chemical research. "In other words, German science has been destroyed, and with it German ability to compete commercially with the war victors." Ralph F. Keeling, Gruesome Harvest, Institute of American Economics SCIENTISTS KIDNAPPED "We even managed to kidnap a large number from the western Russian zone when we retired to let the Russians take over... in consequence we now have at our disposal hundreds of ex-German scientists who no doubt constitute one of our most profitable acquisitions taken from the fallen Reich." - Ralph Franklin Keeling, Gruesome Harvest, Institute of American Economics We intend to secure the full disclosure of all existing German technology and invention for the benefit of the United Nations. This government and other governments with which Germany has been at war have reduced to their control inventions and designs both patented and un-patented which were owned and controlled by German nationals at the outbreak of war." Assistant Secretary of State, William L. Clayton, June 1945 SEIZURE OF ALL GERMAN PROPERTY 155
