1929 August In November 1949, the widow of General Ludendorff, on trial at Nuremberg, told the judges that her husband broke with Hiter because, "...as early as the summer of 1929, James P. Warburg had undertaken an assignment from financial circles in America, which desired to exercise solitary influence on Germany in the unleashing of a national revolution. Warburg's task," she said, "was to find the suitable man in Germany, and he entered into contract with Adolph Hitler who subequently received sums of money amounting to 27 million dollars up to January 30, 1932, and still another seven million thereafter, enabling him to finance his movement."
