It Takes an Artist – the Life and Strange Death of Ivar Kreuger.

On March 12th of 1932, one of the richest men in the world, Ivar Kreuger, was found dead in his Paris apartment. Kreuger was scheduled to meet and fund the then-democratic government in Germany. Kreuger never made it to the meeting, and the government fell, leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Kreuger's death was ruled a suicide by Parisian Police.  However, thirty-three years later Ivar Kreuger's younger brother, and many others, came forward to say it was a murder.  

In this episode, we examine Ivar Kreuger's incredible life, loves, the unusual circumstances of his death, and all the different parties that could have wanted him dead from Stalin to a gang of Paris short-sellers to rival Swedish conglomerates to the Anglo-American banks who were backing Hitler.
