    You could also speculate that but for the rising of Soviet power in the 1920s-early30s-a power fueled by Fred Koch's oil- Hitler would never have risen to power. But that is speculation and the fact remains that Fred Koch played a major role in the creation of Stalin's oil industry all that came afterwards. Which makes Fred Koch a major figure of the 20th century-even though most people have never even heard of him. The kids? They would not even make a patch on Daddy's ass, historically speaking.
