The Great Paint Conspiracy of 1945

On January 20th, 1945, Henry Ford was making a routine trip to Nazi Germany when he was discovered to have been carrying a large quantity of paint. It is believed that this paint was a new colour, Blood Red, and that it was to be used on Hitler's successor to the Mercedes-Benz 770. This color was chosen to to intimidate and ultimately destroy America's confidence near the end of the war. It is argued by some historians that, because he was barred from leaving the United States, Germany ultimately fell and lost the war.

Background

Sometime during December of 1944, Henry Ford was contacted by Adolf Hitler to provide him with a brand new color for a vehicle that he was working on. The transcript that was discovered happened as follows:

       Hitler: My dearest Henry, this car that I drive has no impact on the Allied Pact's greatest war minds. 
       Ford: What are you talking about? Why are you calling me at three AM in the morning?
       Hitler: I do not mean to disrespect you mast.... Mister Ford. It is just that my vehicle is not as modern as it-
       Ford: Do you want me to silence you? You do not wake a man up at this time.
       Hitler: I beg of you to allow me a new vehicle. I will provide you with millions after we destroy the allia-
       Ford: Ten Million.
       Hitler: Ten Million. I have the perfect design for this new vehicle, but I am without a striking colour.
       Ford: I have just the thing. Goodbye.

Mr. Ford then abruptly ended the phone call. It was discovered that he had not, in fact, chosen anything until Christmas, when Ford consulted professional German Designer Hugo Boss to come up with the color that would be known as Blood Red. Hugo, who described Ford as a "Psychopathic Moron", wrote the following in his journal:

   (Translated from original German)
   December 25th, 1944
   I was sitting in my office today, dreaming of a world where Hitler did not exist (Yes, he is the Führer, and if this document were to be found, I would      
   be executed, but it does not matter much to me, as I am the only one that will ever read this). As I was thinking of the scenario, Henry Ford and his SS
   Troops burst in and held me at gunpoint. They did not hesitate to give me my orders; make a new paint color for the Führer's new vehicle. That bastard
   isn't even in charge, Ford uses him as a mere puppet. But alas, I gave those morons a dark shade of red, and told them it was super special. Hell, I even
   came up with a name; Blood Red. Those fools bought it and left. I have more pressing concerns at the moment, and will finish up the journal later.
   Hugo

Implications

Obviously, these documents tied Henry with many things, one of which being that he was the actual Head of State of Germany at the time. While this is disputed, the prior documents would contradict the statements of many. Something that has been proven, however, is that Mr. Ford had many ties with Nazi Germany during wartime, produced many vehicles for them when they were required, and made a hefty profit doing so.

Event

At around 7:30 AM EST on January 20th of 1945, Ford left a note stating that he had business in Europe, and that he would be leaving by noon. He left in his 1945 Ford Pickup, and set off towards the Kent County Airport, now known as Gerald R. Ford International Airport. Using an anonymous military contact, he arranged a flight to Germany and loaded a classified aircraft with the paint. At 1:30 PM, an off-duty agent noticed suspicious activity happening by the airstrip. When he confronted Ford, he was purportedly stared down and told "This is my strip. Get off." While the agent did walk away, he notified backup. Soon, an entire fleet of military personnel was on the scene. Ford claimed that he was taken hostage by the anonymous contact, and was released without struggle at 3:30 PM. The paint cans were confiscated and destroyed at an undisclosed location.

Investigation

Three days later, the US Government sent in a Special Investigations Unit from the FBI to take a look at what happened. A mysterious bump in their salary made them conclude that Ford was innocent. Since the investigation was closed almost instantly, all evidence that could have been used was either stored or destroyed, and was not admissable in court. No charges were ever layed.

Fallout

The US government was widely criticized of covering up Mr. Ford's act of betrayal. A spokesman for the President stated "Do you think that a respected businessman with deep roots in the United States and allied nations would commit an atrocious act of betrayal for monetary gain? That's what I thought". Soon after that statement, the case fell into obscurity, with very little information being printed afterwards.

Conclusion

Henry Ford was a very clever man, and used his massive wealth to hide his true nature as the secret leader of the Nazi Party. All evidence points to this.
