'Lucid and damning ... an absorbing - and infuriating - tale of complicity, coverup and denial' PATRICK RADDEN KEEFE, author of EMPIRE OF PAIN A groundbreaking investigation of how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions from the horrors of the Third Reich and World War II - and how the world allowed them to get away with it. In 1946, Günther Quandt - patriarch of Germany's most iconic industrial empire, a dynasty that today controls BMW - was arrested for suspected Nazi collaboration. Quandt claimed that he had been forced to join the party by his arch-rival, propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, and the courts acquitted him. But Quandt lied. And his heirs, and those of other Nazi billionaires, have only grown wealthier in the generations since, while their reckoning with this dark past remains incomplete at best. Many of them continue to control swaths of the world economy, owning iconic brands whose products blanket the globe. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated Daimler-Benz, cofounded Allianz and still control Porsche, Volkswagen and BMW has remained hidden in plain sight - until now. In this landmark work, investigative journalist David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany's wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich. Using a wealth of untapped sources, de Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave labourers and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler's army as Europe burnt around them. Most shocking of all, de Jong exposes how the wider world's political expediency enabled these billionaires to get away with their crimes, covering up a bloodstain that defiles the German and global economy to this day.

Over the past few years, a number of new technologies have been designed to support Carriers and Network Service Providers as they try to keep a step ahead of the explosive growth demand. Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is the latest step in the evolution of backbone technology for core network providers. MPLS delivers a solution that seamlessly integrates the control of IP routing with the simplicity of Layer 2 switching (eg X.25, ATM, Frame Relay etc). As background, this paper describes the use of IP-over-ATM as a backbone construction and identifies the key issues and limitations associated with its operation. Against this the MPLS protocol is explained and contrasted including discussion surrounding the key benefits that MPLS aims to deliver, specifically: support for differentiated service, simplified network management, Virtual Private Networking, and the benefits of label swapping and stacking. This paper aims to provided an understanding of the strategic benefits of changing to MPLS; what would drive the need to change, and if so when? Issues of network migration are discussed including integration with existing networks and legacy protocols.
