This page was last updated: The fact that academics employed by publicly funded universities should be used thus as PR-agents for the self-serving entities that are the Fritz Thyssen Foundation, the Thyssen Industrial History Foundation and the ThyssenKrupp Konzern Archive is highly questionable by any standards, but particularly by supposedly academic ones.

Especially when they claim to be independent. With two or three exceptions they are never properly described as the active, profiting contributors to the existence and aims of the regime. The outrageousnness of her allegation is compounded by the fact that she fails to quote evidence, as reproduced in our book, showing that allied investigators made clear reference to the Thyssens themselves being the real perpetrators and obfuscators. Yet still, Derix purports to be invoking German greatness, honour and patriotism in her quest for Thyssen gloss. But she fails to properly range them alongside the industrialist families of Krupp, Quandt, Siemens and Bosch, preferring to surround their name hyperbolically with those of the Bismarck, Hohenzollern, Thurn und Taxis and Wittelsbach ruling dynasties.

In reality, many Thyssen heirs chose to turn their backs on Germany and live transnational lives abroad. Their mausoleum is not even accessible to the general public. Contrary to what Derix implies, the iconic name that engenders such a strong feeling of allegiance in Germany is that of the public Thyssen now ThyssenKrupp company alone, as one of the main national employers. This has nothing whatsoever to do with any respect for the descendants of the formidable August Thyssen, most of whom are, for reason of their chosen absence, completely unknown in the country.

Their equal was never seen again in subsequent Thyssen generations. This included marrying into the Hungarian, increasingly faux aristocracy, whereby, even Derix has to admit, by the s every fifth Hungarian citizen pretended to be an aristocrat. Until, that is, social conventions had moved on enough by the s and their daughters were able to marry into the truly old Hungarian dynasties of Batthyany and Zichy.

But until that time, based on their outstanding wealth, this did not stop the brothers from adopting many of the domains of grandeur for themselves. Fritz Thyssen, according to Derix, even spent his time in the early s importing horses from England, introducing English fox hunting to Germany and owning a pack of staghounds.

He also had his servant quarters built lower down from his own in his new country seat, specifically to signal class distinction. And so are her lengthy contortions in presenting Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza as the perfectly assimilated Hungarian country squire. Clearly, it has also become the motto of these Thyssen-financed academics.

But these gems of truthfulness are swamped under the fountains of her gushing propaganda designed to make the second generation Thyssens look better than they were.

A huge chance of genuine transparency was wasted here. Derix also fails to draw attention to the fact that the August Thyssen and Josef Thyssen branches of the family developed in very different ways. Fortunately, Derix does not concentrate all her efforts in creative fiction and plagiarisation, but manages to provide at least some substantive politico-economic facts as well.

Fact is that, despite buying Villa Favorita in Lugano, Switzerland in , Heinrich Thyssen continued to spend the largest amounts of his time living a hotel life in a permanent suite in Berlin and elsewhere and also kept a main residence in Holland where Heini Thyssen grew up almost alone, except for the staff. His Ticino lawyer Roberto van Aken had to remind him in that he still had not applied for permanent residency in Switzerland. Derix also readjusts the old Thyssen myth that Fritz Thyssen and Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza went their separate ways in business as soon as they inherited from their father, who died in We always said that the two brothers remained strongly interlinked until well into the second half of the 20th century.

But it is her next sentence that most infuriates: She does not say when it was created.

To us this sounds like a highly suspicious piece of information. How convenient, especially since no-one outside the Thyssen organisation will ever be able to verify this claim truly independently; or at least until the protective mantle of Professor Manfred Rasch, head of the ThyssenKrupp Konzern Archive, retires.

She then adds that existing Thyssen institutions outside of Germany were used in order to carry out this transfer. From onwards, Fritz Thyssen began to buy real estate in Argentina.

We had already detailed in our book how Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza, via Hendrik Kouwenhoven, set up in Switzerland the Kaszony Family Foundation in to lodge his inherited participations and the Rohoncz Collection Foundation in to place art works he bought as easily movable capital investments from onwards. Now Derix writes that the Rohoncz Foundation too was founded in The associated topics of tax evasion and tax avoidance stay completely off her academic radar; ignoring our documented proof.

In another bold rewriting of official Thyssen history the author states that the Thyssen brothers frequently acted in parallel in their financial affairs. Derix is hazy about exact dates. Derix points out that these two instruments also allowed secret transactions between the Thyssen brothers. Of course, not only was this most royalist of German states close to Switzerland, but it was also, at that time, the cradle of the Nazi movement.

Adolf Hitler also much preferred Munich to Berlin. According to Derix, it was starting in that Heinrich Thyssen sold his shares in the United Steelworks to Fritz while Fritz sold his Dutch participations to Heinrich and as a result Heinrich Thyssen alone was in control of the Bank voor Handel en Scheepvaart from onwards. But in , the Germans found out that there was a considerable discrepancy between the 1,5 million Reichsmark of Dutch participations held in HAIC as had been stated and the actual, true value, which turned out to be to million RM.

This is not, however, a conclusion drawn by Simone Derix. One begins to wonder what there was actually left to confiscate from Fritz Thyssen once he fled Germany at the onset of war in Derix admits that his flight happened not least because he preferred to complete his self-interested financial transactions from the safety of Switzerland, with the help of Heinrich Blass at Credit Suisse in Zurich.

For Simone Derix to point this out on behalf of the Thyssen organisation is significant; even if she fails to draw any appropriate conclusions, as they would most likely be at odds with her blue-sky remit. Truly, and in the words of the far more experienced Harald Wixforth no less: Apparently they travelled from Genua, sailing on But what exactly were those wishes? The hubristically delusional Fritz obviously thought he could get rid of Hitler as easily as he had helped him get into power.

Which makes one wonder, why German historians previously felt the need to misrepresent these facts. It illustrates the seriousness in which he was considered to have been guilty of albeit blue collar war crimes, which should have been punishable by incarceration:.

Thyssen suffered a collapse and had to go into medical care. In that court, as befitting his insincere character, Fritz Thyssen described himself as penniless. After studying chemistry in Zurich and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he became an assistant at a research laboratory of the Shell Petroleum Company in St Louis. He then wrote his dissertation at Budapest University and began working in natural resources deposit research. In , Seismos was bought for 1.

So, of no little importance for a company which so far, in Thyssen-backed histories, had been portrayed, if at all, as being of little consequence. And not for the secretive Heinrich Thyssen-Bornemisza either, whose son Heini Thyssen shortly after the war would get his Swiss lawyer Roberto van Aken to lie to the US visa application department thus: From Februar , Armaments and Munitions Minister Albert Speer recommended all possible support for the development of rockets. While Simone Derix entirely fails to address any aspects of this topic, the lawyer and historian Frank Baranowski has unearthed a highly important document and explains on his website: Deutsche Bank negotiated the transfer of the share capital of 1 million Reichsmark into various hands.

The majority was acquired by the solicitor and notary Paul Langkopf of Hanover , RM , which was most likely done on the orders of a client who wished to remain anonymous.

MABAG came to see itself as a company entirely geared to the production of armaments, ….. It just so happens that Paul Langkopf was a professional whose services had been engaged by various members of the Thyssen family over the years. The secrecy of the transaction fits his style completely. Finally Simone Derix covers two other important topics in her book — as did we, albeit to a different degree -; namely: In both matters, members and associates of the Thyssen family played questionable roles, using their high-level diplomatic and other positions, to help the Thyssens play off one host nation against another, in their pursuit of limitless personal advantage.

Dies war nicht der Fall und es war vielmehr so, dass sie nunmehr durch unsere Arbeit einem viel breiteren Publikum bekannt waren als vordem. Warum also attackierten sie uns und nahmen die Thyssens und Batthyanys in Schutz, die ihre Arbeit bislang ganz offensichtlich abgelehnt oder ignoriert hatten?

Danach revidierte sie ihre Reaktion. Dabei hatte sie es in Wirklichkeit nicht weiter als bis zur ersten Haltestelle geschafft. War diese Informations-Verarbeitende nur zu faul oder wollte sie von der Richtigstellung gar nichts wissen? Im Independent stand In der FAZ steht Unerfahrenen Menschen sei nur so viel gesagt: Ein Mitglied der Dynastie, Sacha Batthyany, hat nunmehr ein Buch geschrieben, das vorgibt, eine ehrliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit zu sein. Es ist die demokratische Pflicht ihrer Nachfahren, das Netz der Misinformation zu durchbrechen und nicht nur die positiven Seiten ihrer Geschichte hervor zu heben, sondern sich auch den negativen zu stellen.

We did not learn of the Rechnitz massacre on the Internet, but in Rechnitz itself and from Rechnitz people. When we met them both at the Rechnitz-symposium at the Burgenland County Museum in Eisenstadt Austria in , they too treated us in an unfriendly manner, which we thought could only be because they felt we had ignored their work on purpose.

This was not the case and moreover, because of us, their work was now much more prominent than before. So why were they attacking us and protecting the Thyssens and the Batthyanys who had obviously rejected or ignored their work in the past? In her review, she made statements about the role of Margit Batthyany nee Thyssen-Bornemisza in the Rechnitz massacre, which, according to the rudimentary state of her knowledge about the case, were not hers to make.
