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.
