In February 1933 Göring gathers two dozen leaders of firms such as Krupp, Opel, Siemens, Bayer and IG Farben to request money for the cash-strapped Nazis before crucial elections; they comply at once. The account then jumps to the 1938 Anschluss and the bluffing of Europe's diplomats, showing how business and diplomacy smoothed the regime's path.
