Arnold Interview Transcript: "I admired Hitler..."

October 2, 2003 — ABC News obtained transcripts from an interview in 1975 in which Schwarzenegger is quoted saying, "I admired Hitler, for instance, because he came from being a little man with almost no formal education, up to power..."






Schwarzenegger added he wished he could experience it, quote:

"Like Hitler in the Nuremberg Stadium and have all those people scream at you and just being in total agreement whatever you say."

Schwarzenegger said he does not remember saying any of this, and he despises Hitler.

I believe this is Tin Foil Hat territory because there isn't a copy of the transcript anywhere. But it is true that his family was involved with the Nazi party while they were living in Austria.

[Funkenstein]

Does this make him a flip-flopper?

I would imagine that if this was still the case that he has worked hard to cover up his "true" intent for his quest to power very well. A young person of his means back then may well have said that. Look at where he is from. The reforms he has brought and spearheaded within CA show a person not enamored with "cleansing".

Power hungry, maybe. Hateful, maybe as well, but not as evident. If Arnie decides to turn the whole of CA into "Escape from L.A.", then I would be worried.

His past is his past. Let's deal with his present.


I'm a democrat, btw (if this comes to party alliances, which it shouldn't).

Of course the Puritans would support the extermination of the race that killed their Messiah.

From Wikipedia:

During World War II, IBM's German subsidiary Dehomag (an acronym formed from "German Hollerith Machine Company Ltd") provided the Nazi regime with punch card machines. Dehomag was taken over by the Nazis in 1939. In 2001 author Edwin Black published a book titled IBM and the Holocaust, which alleged that although IBM did not control Dehomag once World War II began, Thomas J. Watson nevertheless knew of the German regime's activities and was indifferent to any moral issues. The credibility of Black's book has been questioned, as has its claim that the Holocaust would have been impossible without Dehomag's data processing systems. As of 2004 IBM's possible complicity in the Holocaust is the subject of at least one unresolved lawsuit. IBM has donated more than 10,000 pages of archived documents concerning Dehomag to Hohenheim University in Germany and New York University.

From Wikipedia:

There is some evidence that Henry Ford gave Adolf Hitler financial backing when Hitler was first starting out in politics. This can in part be traced to statements from Kurt Ludecke, Germany's representative to the U.S. in the 1920s, and Winifred Wagner, daughter-in-law of Richard Wagner, who said they requested funds from Ford to aid the National Socialist movement in Germany. However, a 1933 Congressional investigation into the matter was unable to substantiate one way or the other that funding was actually sent.

Ford Motor Company was active in Germany's military buildup prior to World War II. In 1938, for instance, it opened an assembly plant in Berlin whose purpose was to supply trucks to the Wehrmacht. In July of that year, Ford was awarded (and accepted) the Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle (Großkreuz des Deutschen Adlerordens). Ford was the first American and the fourth person given this award, at the time Nazi Germany's highest honorary award given to foreigners. Earlier the same year, Benito Mussolini had been decorated with the Grand Cross. The decoration was given "in recognition of [Ford's] pioneering in making motor cars available for the masses." The award was accompanied by a personal congratulatory message from Adolf Hitler. [Detroit News, July 31, 1938.]

Some of the primary and more famous Americans and companies that were involved with the fascist regimes of Europe are: William Randolph Hearst, Joseph Kennedy (JFK’s father), Charles Lindbergh, John Rockefeller, Andrew Mellon (head of Alcoa, banker, and Secretary of Treasury), DuPont, General Motors, Standard Oil (now Exxon), Ford, ITT, Allen Dulles (later head of the CIA), Prescott Bush, National City Bank, and General Electric.

surely private citizens and companies supported those regimes... I'm asking for info about Senate debate regarding which side to choose prior to the war...

[question]

From Wikipedia

In Europe during the rise of Fascism, Lindbergh traveled to Germany several times at the behest of the United States military, where he reported on the German air force. In 1938, Hermann Göring offered him a German medal of honor, and Lindbergh's acceptance caused an outcry in the United States when Lindbergh's closeness to the Nazis was criticized. Lindbergh declined to return the medal to the Germans because he claimed that to do so would be "an unnecessary insult" to the Nazi leadership. Lindbergh's letters and diaries of the time indicate that he approved of Nazi policies and of Hitler's leadership.

As the Nazis invaded country after country, Lindbergh became a prominent speaker in favor of an isolationist policy for the USA. On January 23, 1941 Lindbergh testified before the United States Congress and recommended that the United States negotiate a neutrality pact with Adolf Hitler. Lindbergh was a major spokesman for America First, and at a rally in Des Moines on Sept 11 1941, he accused "the Jewish race" of being behind the drive to have America enter World War II on the side of England. In the same speech, Lindbergh clearly communicates that he considers Americans of Jewish descent to not be fully American when he says, in reference to American Jews, "we cannot blame them for looking out for what they believe to be their own interests, but we also must look out for ours. We cannot allow the natural passions and prejudices of other people to lead our country to destruction." Although Lindbergh never returned his Nazi medal, he resigned his commission in the Army Air Corps when President Roosevelt openly questioned his loyalty.

However, after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, he attempted to return to the USAAF, but was denied when several of Roosevelt's cabinet secretaries registered objections. He went on to assist with the war effort by serving as a civilian consultant to aviation companies and the government, as well as flying about 50 combat missions (again as a civilian) in 1944 in the Pacific.

His contributions include engine leaning techniques that Lindbergh showed USAAF P-38 pilots. This significantly increased their range.

John Rockafeller died in 1937, I don't see how he supported the Nazis. Same with Andrew Mellon.

From Wikipedia:

E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company (NYSED) was founded in July 1802 as a gun powder mill by Eleuthère Irénée du Pont on Brandywine Creek, near Wilmington, Delaware. Du Pont later evolved into one of the world's largest chemical companies, and in the 20th century led the polymer revolution by developing many highly successful materials such as nylon, Teflon and Kevlar. Today, DuPont is a multi-national chemicals, paint, and health care company with 2002 revenues of $24.5 billion.

In a report submitted by Saddam Hussein to the United Nations shortly before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it was revealed that DuPont had participated in Iraq's nuclear weapons program. (Though the U.S. attempted to redact the names of all U.S. companies involved, an uncensored copy was leaked to the press.)
