In 1951, Sydney Barratt, then vice chair of AW stated in the history of the company “100 years of phosphorus making” ;
“When at the close of the second war the company could take stock of themselves and make plans it was decided to embark with energy upon the diversification and increase of their business. It was at this time that decisions were taken which added oil additives, insecticides, and certain organic chemicals to established manufactures, and were the beginning of the silicones project now in hand. The annual turnover of these new ventures already exceeds that of the Parent Company as it was in 1930. Each of these developments had some connection with previous interests, if only a tenuous one, but each offered the Company entry into new markets.”
Barratt was as disingenuous as he was a Home Guard poser, and I have already written several posts about how the oil additives plant , the part brainchild of fellow war dodger Home guard twat Bill Albright, created the notorious “Oldbury smell”.
This was fine for those making profit, but it blighted the area. Part of the reason for the AW success came as a result of new machinery installed on the back of the war, and no thanks to the Nazi’s themselves- when AW engineer and British intelligence Ministry of Supply part timer Alf Loveless toured the captured factories on behalf of The British Government.
It should also be said that the production of insecticides mentioned here , was also a Nazi invention that AW obviously picked up the baton in wartime “victory”.
For this they have a man called Gerhard Schrader to thank. Schrader worked for IG Farben, the home of Nazi produced chemical extermination. Anyone associated with such a place is/was evil as far as I am concerned. Whereas those in power face the consequences of show trials after the war, the perversity of the so called “allies” offered people like this fucking scum a job for life. Officially, it is claimed that he declined, but I wonder? The damage of his “work” was already enough. He should have been gassed with his own accidental invention.
“During World War II, under the Nazi regime, teams led by Schrader discovered two more organophosphate nerve agents, and a fourth after the war:
- Tabun (1936)
- Sarin (1938)
- Soman (1944)
- Cyclosarin (1949)”
We therefore have this man to thank for chemical warfare under the guise of “insecticides”, and the continued demise and poisoning of the environment in the name of agriculture and farming. Thank him also for insidious cancer causing substances that large corporations claim falsely does not cause such illness and the way in which they buy political support and crooked civil service confederacy in policy making.
Organophosphates destroy life, they offer no legitimate use and they kill life by blocking the enzyme acetylcholinesterase which is produced to break down the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine and disrupt the proper functioning of the nerve cells. Hence, these insecticides are called acetylcholinesterase inhibitors.
One of his discoveries was the first contact insecticide “Bladen” of which the main ingredient for killing insects was Hexaethyl tetraphosphate, (HETP). Also along the same lines was Tetraethyl pyrophosphate, (TEPP). Both are highly toxic to animals as well as insects.
So it should come as little surprise that Schrader’s legend cover story of wanting to “feed the world” and instead creating substances which could destroy it for the Nazis would be used by such capitalistic scum as Albright and Wilson and their fake Quakerism.
The adverts below were taken from 1949, and directly show how by this time, they were employing people to recreate the Nazi discovery for commercial gain.

Phosphate insecticides like the ones mentioned would make AW a great deal of money by using their commercial stocks of phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentoxide- both used as methods for making the chemical. It should come as no surprise that Schrader and others were interrogated about their work with TEPP and other such substances by British intelligence, to which I have very little doubt the likes of AW scientists would have been involved in advising upon.
This company profited from war and it profited from the Nazi science – but stick a “made in Oldbury ” sticker on it, and pretend it’s a British thing.- that’s the toxicity of companies like Albright and Wilson.
