Yep henry thought hitler was the bees knees ,until of course he started making more money during the war. LOL!IN fact look at all the things ford did during the war that were considered at the time somewhat shady,changed the model number of the 9n tractor to 2n so he could call it a new tractor and it wasnt subject to price freezes.Was a huge problem when they said we couldnt get rubber for tractor tires,he sat there day after day raising cain until he got congress to relax the laws and allow farmers rubber.All these things were considered very definitly un-american at the time, and he was roundly criticised.But lots of folks were,look at the coal strikes and things, lindberg was very definitly pro german and anti war.As were most folks. Just remember we were just starting to make money again after the depression,and the big corporations and things were raking it in by the bushel baskets full under lend lease,none of them wanted to give up their workers to go fight a war!We were making ALL the money off a war from every side even the germans.Most of our war production actually was for germany that got diverted to england.Think of it this way,100s of thousands of american citzens were of german ,italian,irish,basically european descent in fact nearly all were!.and guess what every one of these countries were on germanies side or strongly supported them. We went to war against the japanese ONLY and only fought the germans because they declared war on us! you may not say he directly helped hitler,but he was definitly neutral or leaned that direction.Even though he made war materials,his wasnt by far the largest output,and he was one of the first ones paid .Some companies never were and folded because of it.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
