| Oct 24, 2014 at 16:59 | comment | added | Basil Bourque | @TylerDurden Incorrect Your answer continues to be factually incorrect and misleading. The US did not cut off commercial ties with Nazi Germany at the start of the war. In 1939 the US declared it neutrality after the Nazis had taken Czechoslovakia and invaded Poland, and after Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand had declared war. The US was doing business with Nazis before and during the war. | |

| Oct 23, 2014 at 3:32 | comment | added | Pieter Geerkens | @jwenting: Check your facts - significant trade continued through Spain and Portugal with Nazi Germany by many US companies right through the war. Roosevelt was able to minimize the effect of this on the war effort by getting public buy-in by the dollar-a-year men, and restricting access to critical war materials to factories producing for the Allied war effort, even while those individuals continued to reap profits from trade with Nazi Germany. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 3:17 | comment | added | jwenting | @PieterGeerkens mostly true, except the declaration of war on Germany by the USA put a stop to those trade relations. | |
| Oct 23, 2014 at 3:06 | comment | added | Pieter Geerkens | This is blatantly untrue: "In the 1930s many countries, including the United States, Britain and France, cut off commercial ties with Germany, which meant that Germany could not trade or do banking in those countries". Many US corporations didn't even cut-off relations with Nazi Germany after Pearl Harbor. | |
| Oct 22, 2014 at 19:28 | comment | added | Tyler Durden | Germany's priorities in the beginning of the war were to unify the German people and neutralize hostile neighbors like France, not exterminate people. | |
| Oct 22, 2014 at 19:25 | comment | added | philip | But surely Sweden had a Jewish population that hitler would want to exterminate | |
