The Thyssen pamphlet shocks with German war for profit
A sensational pamphlet attributed to August Thyssen accuses German business leaders of bartering national conquest for personal wealth. It claims promises of vast land grants, loans, and trading advantages were offered by the Kaiser and chancellor to secure backing for war, with many executives allegedly coerced or blackmailed into financing the effort. The piece cites Thyssen and other industrial figures, plus Lichnowsky’s memoirs, to argue the war was driven by mercenary motives and that postwar penalties must be steep to deter future aggression.
