The Schwab family, the Nazis, weapons of mass destruction and the rise of a model technocrat
In case you ever tried to find information on Klaus Schwab you probably found yourself staring at a very short and disappointing Wikipedia entry. Or you were looking at his sugarcoated biography on the WEF’s website but no matter how you are looking at it you will probably not be satisfied with what you’re finding. It sure is a bit surprising to look up someone like Klaus Schwab who has a reputation of knowing everyone on the world stage (or as Donald Trump put it: “I assume they [all the world’s political and industry leaders] are here [in Davos] because of Klaus.”) and then have nothing but generic information coming up once you try to get some more insights about his life.
To find out more about this mysterious man who allegedly steers the world you’d have to dig a lot deeper. Schwab stated during the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in 2021 that the building of trust in his organization would be a key factor to the success of his agenda. He elaborated that in order to achieve this, the WEF would expand its already massive public relations campaigns. There is one thing he might have overlooked though: Trust is being built through transparency. And since there is absolutely nothing easily to be found on the person behind the Great Reset agenda it leaves a bitter aftertaste. Luckily for him, I am here to help — after reading this you can reflect and decide whether you wish to trust this man or not.

Klaus Schwab’s grandfather Gottfried was born on 10 July 1870 at the height of the Franco-Prussian War in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 1893, while he was working as a simple baker, Gottfried Schwab officially departed from Germany, gave up his citizenship and emigrated to Switzerland where he met his future wife Marie Lappert who was born in Kirchberg near the Swiss city of Bern. (The source for this information has since wondrously been removed.) The couple married in Roggwil on 27 May 1898 and the following year, on 27 April 1899, Eugen Schwab was born. At this time Gottfried Schwab had become a machine engineer. When Eugen was around a year old, Gottfried and Marie Schwab decided to return to Karlsruhe.
Eugen Schwab followed the example of his father and became a machine engineer, something he advised his own children to do in later years as well. Eugen began working at Escher-Wyss in Ravensburg which was a Swiss industrial company focusing on engineering and turbine construction with a long history of economic ties to the Ravensburg area.
During the 1920s, Escher-Wyss had found itself in serious financial troubles and continued to lose money despite large scale civil engineering contracts that are noted in an official correspondence written in 1924 from Wilhelm III to the company and to the asset manager of the House of Urach, accountant Julius Heller.
The engineered Great Depression in the early 1930s laid waste to the global economy leading to Escher-Wyss announcing that “as the catastrophic development of the economic situation in connection with the currency declines; The company [Escher-Wyss] is temporarily unable to continue its current liabilities in various customer countries.” The company continued in stating that they would also apply for a court deferral to the Swiss newspaper Neue Züricher Nachrichten, which on 1 December 1931 reported that “the company Escher-Wyss has been granted a stay of bankruptcy until the end of March 1932 and, acting as curator in Switzerland, a trust company has been appointed.” And went on that “there should be a prospect of continuing operations.”
However, by the mid-1930s, Escher-Wyss was still sailing troubled water. In an attempt to rescue the company, a consortium was appointed to aid the dying engineering company. It was formed by the Federal Bank of Switzerland (whose head by that time was a man named Max Schwab who apparently is of no relation to Klaus Schwab). It was decided that an engineer, Colonel Jacob Schmidheiny, became the new President of the Board of Directors and after the war broke out in 1939, Schmidheiny stated that “the outbreak of war does not necessarily mean unemployment for the machine industry in a neutral country”, which leads to believe that Escher-Wyss was already well underway in ensuring that their near 20-year financial crisis ended with profits made from the upcoming war.
In the years prior, Eugen Schwab already led the Ravensburg factory and continued to ensure that Escher-Wyss stayed the largest employer in the area. Not only that, but Hitler’s Nazi party awarded Escher-Wyss’ German branch the title of “National Socialist Model Company” while Schwab was managing it. The Nazis saw the company as a valuable partner in the coming war and their advances were reciprocated.
During the war Eugen Schwab diligently managed the company and aided the Wehrmacht in producing significant amounts of weapons. They continued in manufacturing parts for the German Luftwaffe before moving on to more sinister projects. During that time Escher-Wyss was of great interest for western intelligence agencies. Record Group 226 (RG226) was compiled by the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) which shows that Allied forces were aware of the Escher-Wyss business dealings with the Nazis. There are three specific mentions of the company:
In addition, the Nazis’ only industrial plant capable of producing heavy water, an ingredient needed for making plutonium for the Nazi atomic bomb program, called Norsk Hydro, located near Rjukan, Norway, was powered by Escher-Wyss. Allied forces managed to partially destroy the plant but production continued until Norwegian resistance forces were able to sing the ship carrying the heavy water. This means that Escher-Wyss was actively helping the Nazis’ efforts in bringing victory by the use of atomic warfare.
- File number 47178: “Escher-Wyss of Switzerland is working on a large order for Germany. Flame-throwers are despatched from Switzerland under the name Brennstoffbehaelter. Sept. 1944.”
- File number 41589: “Business relations between Empresa Nacional Calvo Sotelo (ENCASO), Escher Wyss, and Mineral Celbau Gesellschaft. 1 p. July 1944; see also L 42627 Report on collaboration between the Spanish Empresa Nacional Calvo Sotelo and the German Rheinmetall Borsig, on German exports stored in Switzerland. 1 p. August 1944.” which basically implies the storage of German exports in supposedly “neutral” Switzerland.
- File number 72654: “Hungary’s bauxite was formerly sent to Germany and Switzerland for refining. Then a government syndicate built an aluminium plant at Dunaalmas on the borders of Hungary. Electric power was provided; Hungary contributed coal mines, and equipment was ordered from the Swiss firm Escher-Wyss. Production began in 1941. 2 pp. May 1944.”
In Ravensburg, Eugen Schwab was busy putting forced laborers to work. During WW2 around 3,600 forced laborers worked in local companies, including Escher-Wyss. Because of this large number it was necessary to set up one of the biggest recorded Nazi forced labor camps in in the city.
Klaus Schwab was born on 30 March 1938 in Ravensburg. While people claim that his mother is related to the House of Rothschild because it better fits their narrative, I now have to disappoint you: Klaus Schwab is in no way Jewish, or related to the Rothschild family. All of these claims can — as for now — not be proven.
Between 1945 and 1947, Klaus attended primary school in Au, Germany before he went to the Spohn-Gymnasium in Ravensburg between 1949 and 1957 and then graduated from the Humanistisches Gymnasium.
In 1962, he completed his mechanical engineering studies at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. In the following year, he completed an economics course at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. In 1965, Klaus worked on his dissertation on: “The longer-term export credit as a business problem in mechanical engineering”. It is as boring as it sounds.
During this time his father, Eugen, who apparently had managed to avoid retributions regarding his involvement in Nazi crimes two decades prior to this, was elected as President of the Ravensburg Chamber of Commerce.
Klaus received his Doctorate in Engineering in 1966, and his Doctorate in Economics from the University of Fribourg in 1967, as well as a Master of Public Administration from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, USA. During his time at Harvard, Klaus was taught by Henry Kissinger, who he would later say were among the top figures who had most influenced his thinking.
In 1967, Klaus Schwab entered the public stage by leading the merger between the Swiss companies Sulzer AG and Escher-Wyss. Sulzer initially bought 53% of Escher-Wyss, leading to the company being named “Sulzer Escher-Wyss” before taking it over completely a year later.
Escher-Wyss had been involved in manufacturing nuclear technology at least as early as 1962, as shown by this patent for a “heat exchange arrangement for a nuclear power plant” and this patent from 1966 for a “nuclear reactor gas-turbine plant with emergency cooling”. After Eugen Schwabs departure, Sulzer Escher-Wyss went on to develop turbo compressors for uranium enrichment to yield reactor fuels.
Klaus Schwab himself joined Sulzer Escher-Wyss in 1967 and began transforming the company into a technology corporation. Immediately Sulzer Escher-Wyss became more pronounced in the dark aspects of the global nuclear arms race. With Klaus Schwab’s arrival began the company’s participation in the illegal proliferation of nuclear weapons technology. A man named Peter Hug eventually revealed that Sulzer Escher-Wyss began secretly building key parts for nuclear weapons in 1960. He went further into detail, pointing out that the company had supplied vital components to the South African government and found evidence of Germany’s role in supporting the racist regime, also revealing how the Swiss government “was aware of illegal deals but ‘tolerated them in silence’ while supporting some of them actively or criticised them only half-heartedly”.
At the time when Klaus Schwab left Sulzer AG (by the way, a company that is to this day remains tied to the WEF) in 1970, the company was deeply involved with nuclear technology as stated in the records of the Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg.
The same year Klaus wrote to the European Commission and asked for help in setting up a “non-commercial think tank for European business leaders”. The European Commission agreed and sponsored the event. They sent a French politician Raymond Barre who famously is known for his anti-Semitic statements, to act as the forum’s “intellectual mentor.”
In 1971 the first meeting of the World Economic Forum — then called European Management Synopsium — took place in Davos, Switzerland. A mind blowing 450 participants from 31 countries took part in Schwab’s first gathering. They were mostly made up of managers from various European companies, politicians, and US academics.
Later that year Schwab married his secretary Hilde Stoll who helped organizing the gathering.
Klaus later reflected on how the Club of Rome was one of the most influential groups that spurred the creation of the WEF. The Club had been founded in 1968 by Scottish chemist Alexander King and Italian industrialist Aurelio Peccei and has ever since been controversial for its obsession with reducing the global population. In the club’s first publication in 1972, “Limits to Growth”, the author warned that “if the world’s consumption patterns and population growth continued at the same high rates of the time, the earth would strike its limits within a century.” A year later Peccei would visit the third WEF meeting and summarize said book which — as the WEF states on its website — had a profound impact on the further direction it was taking. Also in 1973 the Club of Rome published a report detailing an “adaptive” model for global governance that would divide the world into ten, inter-connected economic/political regions.
Many of the Club of Rome’s earlier policies have long been criticized as being influenced by eugenics and neo-Malthusian. In 1991, the club published its second, more widely known, publication called “The First Global Revolution”. The first iterations of this book are nearly impossible to find these days.1 However, in this book though the author put the following very telling and very sinister statement:
In the years since, the Club of Rome and the World Economic Forum have frequently argued that population control methods are essential to protecting the environment. It is unsurprising that the World Economic Forum would use the issues of climate and environment as a way to market otherwise unpopular policies, such as those of the Great Reset.
Over the past 50 years Klaus Schwab has — unknown by most — become one of the most powerful people on the planet, controlling an ever expanding web of politicians, business leaders, celebrities, artists and writers from the shadows.
Apparently it is appealing to see some kind grandpa in him who might wishes to make up for the crimes of his father, that he keeps in secret and refuses to talk about, by helping the world’s population to live a better life. But with every new insight into the WEF’s agenda, every new piece of knowledge that is being uncovered, every new detail about Schwab’s involvement with nuclear weapons, that image deteriorates quickly. When looking at all that is attached to him I don’t see a savior of humanity. I see a well-connected man with a family history of helping racist governments in creating weapons of mass destruction.
The Apartheid regime in South Africa was close to what the Nazis were back in their days. Klaus diligently pursued a course following his father’s footsteps and when looking at all of this, the fact that he supports a world in which a certain group of people is being discriminated, segregated and vilified does not come as a big surprise anymore. If Klaus Schwab is anything, he is a threat to global peace, a threat to our freedom and a threat to humanity.
I leave it up to your mind to come to conclusion as to which values his father Eugen as a known Nazi collaborator has passed on to his son.
