Geography... Turkey is a very, very strategic chess square. It is
basically the doorway between Europe and Asia. In modern terms an
airforce is able strike anywhere in the region from Turkey.

I don't agree, he was just as interested in financial matters as any
of the other fascists of the time period. The only difference was he
didn't even pay minimum wages and was set on an agenda which competed
directly with the use of slave labour. (you can't have your slave
labourers and bake them too) But the USA did make a deal with the devil
in exchange for info on the communist Russia by allowing the SS to flee
unpunished to places like Canada, Argentina, etc, and even to the USA,
to live to a ripe old age.
