Henry Ford - Zeeg Hile !

Posted by Bambi B on August 31, 2009 at 09:09:55:
Patrick,

Henry Ford had a lot of proto-fascist in his makeup- part of his odd Mid-western utopian concept of social justice. He insisted immigrant workers shed their national dress and customs in their lives, they should have family values, Jesus, wanted to shoot union organizers, and that no employee should smoke or have alcohol on their own time, and other interesting concepts of social engineering- eugenics too.

I've forgotten the details, but Ford had a kind of company magazine and over time published substantial anti-Jewish material: the international Jew was running all the world's banks, degenerate art, the works. Hitler had this material translated and reprinted in, I think 35-40 volumes.

Supposedly, Ford's very public and published rants and the laissez-faire, ultra-conservative attitude of the English aristocracy led Hitler to some degree believe that the UK and US were sympathetic to Nazism and would not oppose him in his lebensraum land grab in Europe. At the same time, Ford was a pacifist and made hundreds of millions from war despite his earlier promise that he wouldn't take any war profits, had the highest wages in the car industry and some of the better working conditions/ benefits for his workers of the time. -Interesting fellow!

So, yes, the arrows make a proto-Swastika,- but the caring, Mid-Western, friendly, salt of the Earth, family style of Swastika.

The section/perspective of the car by the way is a copy of a contemporary Ford illustration of the 1930 Model A Standard Coupe.

Cheers,

Bambi B
