Preparing for War: Chrysler military production, 1940-1942

I remember having read a book by Antony C. Sutton: "Wall St. and the Rise of Hitler". It said rather bluntly that USAAF, as opposed RAF, deliberately avoided bombing plants owned or partly owned by American capital - and there were many of them: chemical (IG Farben and subsidiaries), electrical (AEG), airplane (Focke-Wolf, among others), tank (Opel, a GM subsidiary and Ford). This could, at least in part, explain, why 1944 was the year of maximum production numbers of armaments in Germany ever - despite horrendous bombardments day and night.

Hi Jacek!

It sounds revisionistically but I like it

I do not know this book. Is there any information there what was the US Administration (or at least USAAF's HQ) reaction towards the RAF policy to bomb all elements of nazi industry without mercy for the US investors?

Best regards
