very well represented in the later Heinrich HimmlerCircle and made cash contributions to the S.S.(the Sonder Konto S) up to 1944  whileWorld War II was in progress.Almost a quarter of the 1944 Sonder Konto S contributions came from subsidiaries ofInternational Telephone and Telegraph, represented by Kurt von Schrder.The 1943payments from I.T.T.subsidiaries to the Special Account were as follows:Mix & Genest A.G.5,000 RMC.Lorenz AG 20,000 RMFelten & Guilleaume 25,000 RMKurt von Schroder 16,000 RMAnd the 1944 payments were:Mix & Genest A.G.5,000 RMC.Lorenz AG 20,000 RMFelten &

S.S.A letter to fellow member Emil Meyer from Baron von Schroder dated February 25, 1936describes the purposes and requirements of the Himmler Circle and the long-standing natureof the Special Account 'S' with funds at Schroder's own bank  the J,H.Stein Bank ofCologne:Berlin, 25February 1936(Illegiblehandwriting) To Prof.Dr.Emil H.MeyerS.S.(Untersturmfuchrer) (second lieutenant) Member of the Managing Board(Vorstand) of the Dresdner BankBerlin W.56,Behrenstr.38Personal!To the Circle of Friends of the Reich Leader SSAt the end of the 2 day's inspection tour of Munich to which the Reich LeaderSS had invited us last January, the Circle of Friends agreed to put  each oneaccording to his means  at the Reich Leader's disposal into "Special AccountS" (Sonder Konto S), to be established at the banking firm J.H.Stein inCologne, funds which are to be used for certain tasks outside of the budget.This should enable the Reich Leader to rely on all his friends.In Munich it wasdecided that the undersigned would make themselves available for setting upand handling this account.In the meantime the account was set up and we wantevery participant to know that in case he wants to make contributions to theReich Leader for the aforementioned tasks  either on behalf of his firm or theCircle of Friends  payments may be made to the banking firm J.H.Stein,Cologne (Clearing Account of the Reich Bank, Postal Checking Acount No.1392) to the Special Account S.: Heil Hitler!(Signed) KurtBaron vonSehroder(Signed)Steinbrinck3This letter also explains why U.S.Army Colonel Bogdan, formerly of the Schroder BankingCorporation in New York, was anxious to divert the attention of post-war U.S.Armyinvestigators away from the J.H.Stein Bank in Cologne to the "bigger banks" of NaziGermany.It was the Stein Bank that held the secrets of the associations of Americansubsidiaries with Nazi authorities while World War II was in progress.The New Yorkfinancial interests could not know the precise nature of these transactions (and particularlythe nature of any records that may have been kept by their German associates), but theyknew that some record could well exist of their war-time dealings  enough to embarrassthem with the American public.It was this possibility that Colonel Bogdan triedunsuccessfully to head off.German General Electric profited greatly from its association with Himmler and otherleading Nazis.Several members of the Schroder clique were directors of A.E.G., the mostprominent being Robert Pferdmenges, who was not only a member of the Keppler orHimmler Circles but was a partner in the aryanized banking house Pferdmenges &Company, the successor to the former Jewish banking house Sal Oppenheim of Cologne.Waldemar von Oppenheim achieved the dubious distinction (for a German Jew) of "honorary Aryan" and was able to continue his old established banking house under Hitlerin partnership with Pferdmenges.MEMBERS OF THE HIMMLER CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WHOWERE ALSO DIRECTORS

1944.Standard Oil of New Jersey also made a significant contribution to Himmler's SpecialAccount through its wholly owned (94 percent) German subsidiary, Deutsche-Amerikanische Gesellschaft (DAG).In 1943 and 1944 DAG contributed as follows:Staatsrat Helfferich of Deutsch- 10,000 RM Amerikanische Petroleum A.G.Staatsrat Lindemann of 10,000 RMDeutsch- 4,000 RMAmerikanische Petroleum A.G.and personallyIt is important to note that Staatsrat Lindemann contributed 4,000 RM personally, thusmaking a clear distinction between the corporate contribution of 10,000 RM from StandardOil of New Jersey's wholly owned subsidiary and the personal contribution from directorLinde-mann.In the case of Staatsrat Hellfrich, the only contribution was the Standard Oilcontribution of 10,000 RM; there is
