I've noted before that (a) the majority of the leadership in Communist movements in the West have been Jewish and (b) many of the spy rings operating in the U.S. for the Soviets during and after WWII were comprised mostly of Jews. This pattern repeats again.
Powerline Blog recently published a piece entitled "Who Needs Communists When You Have Home-Grown Progressives" discussing how Germany's current de-industrialization "resembles a self-imposed 'Morgenthau Plan' from World War II."
For readers not up on their World War II history, the “Morgenthau Plan” was a proposal hatched by the staff of, and endorsed by, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau and presented to FDR at the Quebec summit with Churchill in 1944. It called for post-war Germany to be fully “de-industrialized” and turned into “a country primarily agricultural and pastoral in its character,” as one document of the time put it.
According to the article, "Morgenthau, who enjoyed special access to FDR, presented the proposal to FDR and Churchill without Secretary of War Henry Stimson or Secretary of State Cordell Hull present—both of whom were violently opposed to the Morgenthau Plan when they learned of it." Stimson was able to get FDR to reverse his support for the plan because "the Morgenthau Plan would have ruled out post-war Germany as potent ally against the Soviet Union, especially significant after NATO was formed later. It was designed to ensure that Germany was poor and weak—easy pickings, perhaps, for the Soviet Union after the war."
According to the article, the roots of the plan lay with Morgenthau's staff:
It turns out that Morgenthau’s senior staff was highly penetrated by Soviet agents and Communist sympathizers. Most of the names of his staff have been forgotten, with the partial exception of Harry Dexter White, who committed suicide in the late 1940s right after both Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers named White as a Soviet agent. But M. Stanton Evans (my first mentor) and Herbert Rommerstein, long time senior staff member of the House Intelligence Committee, identified the others from corroborating testimony and the decrypted VENONA documents that came to light in the late 1990s. In addition to White, other Morgenthau staffers who were Communist sympathizers or perhaps even paid agents included Solomon Adler, Josiah Dubois, Sonia Gold, Harold Glasser, William Taylor, V. Frank Coe (who defected to Communist China after the war), and Irving Kaplan. Many of these figures were involved in developing the Morgenthau Plan.
It is interesting to note, however, another group to which many of the key figures belonged. A quick Google search reveals that Morgenthau, Harry Dexter White, Solomon Adler, Harold Glasser, V. Frank Coe, and Irving Kaplan were all Jewish. Although Josiah Dubois is not explicitly identified as Jewish, he was a key figure in exposing the Holocaust and shaming the U.S. into accepting over 200,000 Jewish refugees during WWII. Thus, even if not Jewish, he was a very active Jewish sympathizer. Sonia Steinman Gold is another I'm not sure of, but based on both her maiden and married name, I suspect she is also Jewish. I could not find information concerning William Henry Taylor one way or the other.
