...this proved the exceeding wisdom of Germany's great iron & steel mongering House of Krupp, now headed by Bertha Krupp's husband, Dr. Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach. In his own vast organization Dr. Krupp von Bohlen is a high-collared martinet, but in dealing with raw statesmen of the new regime he has proved an ingratiating fellow. Less than three months ago he, as president of the Federation of German Industries, beat a strategic retreat by putting it under Nazi auspices.

At his death in 1902, he was succeeded by his elder and able daughter Bertha who in 1906 married Dr. Gustav von Bohlen und Halbach. At that time, Germany was just getting into her stride in the naval competition with Great Britain, and the demand for steel was enormous. Before the War, visitors to Essen stood aghast at the monstrous flame-belching foundries hastily proceeding with their grotesquely demoniacal output. And during the War Frau Bertha Krupp von Bohlen...
