The financier Heinrich Thyssen once backed the Nazi rise, giving 1.2 million dollars in 1933 and earning a seat on the regime’s economic board. He later fled Germany, was captured by French secret police, handed to the Gestapo, and endured four years in concentration camps before American troops found him in 1943 in an Italian Tyrol detention camp.
