In today’s Connecticut Centinal, the second installment of “Johnson & Tremaine associates, Ridgefield’s Martha Dodd featured in Hitler’s Aristocrats (2023)” was released with a focus on suspected American Nazi traitor Charles Bedaux, from the World War II era.

The parallel to today’s situation with the Jeffrey Epstein situation is striking.

“The Epstein ‘suicide’ with ‘missing documents’ mirrors the 1944 Charles Bedaux case”, says journalist R. J. Preece, who wrote the article.

"Charles Bedaux also ‘committed suicide’. This was after capture in North Africa, and later detained in Miami," explains Preece. "He was thought to be knowledgeable about a vast number of his clients, including American businessmen, and their ties to Nazi Germans, among others." 

It was also thought that Bedaux potentially even had sensitive personal information on the businessmen, aligned to the Nazi MO.

After Bedaux's death, in the declassified military intelligence file on him, it was thought that some of his important documentation may have gone missing while he was in custody.

This was queried by a woman who was thought to work at one of Bedeaux's companies. She was requesting a formal statement for Bedaux's surviving family that, towards the end, Bedaux passed on important information to U. S. intelligence authorities.

Concerns about the alleged suicide were addressed in some news reporting at the time, Preece says.

Book author Susan Ronald introduces Charles Bedaux in Hitler’s Aristocrats: The Secret Power Players in Britain and America Who Supported the Nazis, 1923–1941 (2023) as follows in a list of key figures: “Bedaux, Charles: French-born American efficiency engineer and millionaire who developed close relationships with the Nazis and the Windsors [Edward and Wallis]. He was arrested and charged with treason in the United States and committed suicide before standing trial.”

The book Hitler’s Aristocrats “uncovers the battle between these influencers and those who heroically opposed them.”

Preece’s article focuses on Bedaux and his business and social ties to Cleveland, the hometown of historical Connecticut arts figures Burton Tremaine and architect Philip Johnson, who was a Nazi agent and became a noted architect after WWII. 

Bedaux became international news in 1937 for hosting the Windsors for their wedding at his chateau in France. He then helped the Windsors meet Hitler in Germany, causing an international scandal. A subsequent trip across the United States to meet CEOs was cancelled after union protests.
