This is a book I'm probably going to buy, if only for the cites and bibliography.

Please report back. I find the premise hard to believe - although it is true that Jewish studio heads tended to be fairly quiet about anti-semitism and Nazis, because they felt it would backfire.

Oh for crying out loud. Hey OP, keep your money and don't waste it on such a ridiculous book.

Lots of companies aided Nazis during the war. For example, Coca-Cola made a fruit-flavored soda for the Nazis when there was a shortage of syrup in 1941 - And that is how Fanta was created.

The pre-WWII years had a lot of activity and ongoing relationships. We didn't hate Germany or Japan in general public sentiment any more than we would hate Egypt or Israel today. As a capitalist society, we looked for opportunities to make money. I doubt I'll be wasting money on the book, especially as a main reason for getting it is to have the cites and reference material laid out, as is common in most history books with any scholarly aspect.

This is disappointing. I thought it was going to be a thread about all those Nazi Sexploitation Camp films from the '70's like...

I remember showing Ilsa. The greatest thing about those sexploitation movies were the posters. What audiences usually didn't find out until too late was that a lot of them were recycled and re-titled, sometimes with footage from a few films intercut. Some of the poster art was pretty fun though, especially if you looked for subliminals. Notice the placement of that tall pointy guard tower...
