Report: Koch Brothers' Father Built Oil Refinery for Hitler
-----------------------------------------------------------

Among the groups that have backed the right-wing law firm in the union
case are entities used frequently by the billionaire brothers Charles
and David Koch. Politico has reported the Kochs' political machine now
eclipses the official Republican Party in key areas, with about
three-and-a-half times as many employees as the Republican National
Committee. Meanwhile, a new book on the Koch brothers by New Yorker
journalist Jane Mayer reveals the Koch brothers' father, Fred Koch,
helped build an oil refinery in Nazi Germany-a project approved
personally by Adolf Hitler.
