Rothschild Family Seeks to Recover Part of Ransom Paid to Hitler
The Rothschild family acted today in a bid to recover part of what may be the largest ransom ever paid–the estimated $20, 000, 000 handed over to Hitler in 1939 for the release of Baron Louis de Rothschild. The ransom was paid after the failure of a direct appeal to Hitler by the Duke of Windsor.

GERMANY: Rothschild Ransomed
Fourth-generation descendant of Mayer Amschel, founder of the Rothschild fortune, Louis was the only one of six children of the Vienna branch of the clan to be an active director of the family business, the Creditanstalt, State bank of the Habsburgs, of which he became president in 1911. The Rothschild bank survived the Austro-Hungarian collapse in 1918, remained Central Europe’s biggest financial house. In 1929, with a typical Rothschild gesture, Baron Louis rushed to Vienna from a hunting expedition, took over the insolvent Bodencreditanstalt, great Austrian bank, the failure of which threatened the nation’s ruin. Two years later the Creditanstalt, weakened by the merger, itself failed, plunging Europe into financial crisis. Prosecution of Baron Louis was dropped when he “voluntarily” handed over $10,000,000 of his private fortune to the Government and resigned as the bank’s president.
