 | | Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was born in the Hague, the son of a diplomat. |
 | | During the 1930s, Krupp Works became the center of German rearmament, due in large part to Gustav Krupp's devotion to the Third Reich, Alfried, his son, took over in 1943, was arrested by the Allies, tried for slave labor, and sentenced for war crimes at Nuremburg. |
 | | Krupp cannons were used in Bismarck's wars against Austria and France; its artillery destroyed the Belgian fortifications in 1914, and shelled Paris in 1918; and its stupendous armaments output supplied Hitler nearly single-handedly with heavy artillery, tanks, and U-boats. |
