i'll bet they don't like them, lol. Russia uses them, as well as several other nations. due to their much higher density for size, they cut through armor (think Russian tanks) much easier. suck it, Putin!

James Stewart Martin (December 10, 1911 – January 30, 1987) was a United States Department of Justice attorney who served as the Chief of the Decartelization Branch for Military Government in Germany after World War II.

Martin was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on December 10, 1911.[1]

His book All Honorable Men was published by Little Brown in 1950. In it, Martin catalogs the difficulties faced by his team trying to deconstruct the Nazi industrial machine, not the least of which was opposition to his efforts by his superior officer, an investment banker in peacetime. In the book, Martin blamed Wall Street's pre-war ties to German Big Business for obstructionist efforts among the Allied powers to prevent the breakup of German industrial power.[2]

Were you to attempt to buy a copy of the first edition ,
it is currently going for 5,659.49 on amazon, which is simply
to say, that the powers that be, don't want the general public
to be aware of what this book is about.


Preface to the book "All Honorable Men"

ANY man has a right to stop after a chain of harrowing experiences and to ask why things happened as they did. Our generation has had its share of harrowing experiences and therefore the peculiar chain of circumstances that kept me enmeshed for five and one half years was not unusual. It is not simply the rebirth of German nationalism and Nazism that occasioned the writing of this book, nor even the return to power of the industrialists who put the Nazis in. These events in themselves are significant. But more so is the fact that, along with them, action was aborted on other questions in Germany: questions of the treatment of organized labor, the improvement of agriculture, the reform of public education, the public ownership or control of industry, and others just as basic. As the postwar pattern unfolded, this chain of events in Germany became more and more of a piece with a larger pattern. In this book I have tried to tell the story of an important problem and some of the things that happened when we tried to deal with it. Though many of the events occurred in Germany, before and during the military occupation, they seemed in an increasing degree to be echoes of something more fundamental that was happening hack in the United States. For whatever reason, the larger pattern is a repetition of what followed after World War I; but the pace has been quicker, as though greater powers were moving more rapidly toward a more catastrophic result. Some people assume that everything is somehow connected with the cold war, and that any other course than the one we are pursuing has been rendered impossible by disagreements with Russia.
This is surely an oversimplification. Disagreements with Russia have
been a major issue for only twenty or thirty years, whereas the
pattern I have traced in this book has been unfolding for a much
longer period.
If this work has any lasting value, acknowledgment is due to
the men and women who staffed the Economic Warfare Section of
the Department of justice and the Decartelization Branch of Military Government, and whose reports of their researches and investigations brought together the fabric of this story. Mention should
also be made of the many factual materials furnished to us in Germany by the Foreign Funds Control Division of the Treasury Department and the Finance Division of Military Government.
For her help in the preparation of this book I owe a debt of
gratitude to my wife, Caroline Collins Martin, who not only worked
with me during the last strenuous year in Berlin, hut also cast a
critical eye on the manuscript at every stage of its development. For
help of various kinds I owe thanks to Johnston Avery, Charles C.
Baldwin, Stringfellow Barr, Scott Buchanan, Norman Burster,
Francis W. Laurent, Russell Nixon, Alexander Sacks, Peter Weiss,
and others too numerous to mention. Special thanks are due to
Virginia Marino, who returned from Germany to work tirelessly on
every phase of the book from first rough draft to finished page
proofs. Many of the highlights are the result of the thoughtful suggestions of these people. The faults are my own.
For the necessary time away from other employment to do the
writing, I am indebted to the generosity of Leon and Sonia Mohill;
for time to prepare the manuscript for the press, to my present employers, the Foundation for World Government; and for research
facilities, to the Library of Congress.

They built a base for themselves with military intel between the two world wars. Donovan of the OSS was a Wall Street man right from the
inception. The Dulles family's grandfather had been a part of one of the most corrupt administrations that this country had seen, and they were
brought up with the understanding that people of the upper crust run
things and that their first loyalty was to family and class, and then the
country.
Allen and John Foster Dulles were each very effective dual agents
so to speak, as was their sister who was in the State department.
Allen Dulles turned the OSS and then later the CIA into a very
twisted outfit, with corruption of the worse sort baked right in
from the inception.
Allen Dulles had a son, who was of a different opinion about such
things. He was a marine who had spent time in North Korea, and he was very well thought of by those who served with him.
He attempted to speak with his father about how, and what he was doing . Too no avail . He began to speak out publicly, and his pop
used his position to discredit his son. The father ultimately had his
own son rendered and sent up to McGill in Canada where the
agency had financed a study into what might best be described
as brain washing.
His son was left in such terrible shape that he had to be cared for
the rest of his life.
Allen Dulles used the agency as the ultimate old boys network
of the worst sort.
