Editing Sullivan & Cromwell (section)

===Connection to Operation Gladio=== 
[[Operation Gladio]] was a clandestine [[NATO]] operation during the Cold War, establishing “stay-behind” networks across Europe to counter potential Soviet invasions. These networks, backed by the [[CIA]] and [[MI6]], were implicated in anti-communist activities, including alleged false-flag terrorism. Sullivan & Cromwell’s alleged connection to Gladio stems from the activities of partners [[John Foster Dulles]] and [[Allen Dulles]], who later held senior U.S. government roles.
====Dulles Brothers and Gladio====
[[John Foster Dulles]], a partner at Sullivan & Cromwell (managing partner in 1926), became U.S. Secretary of State (1953–1959), while his brother [[Allen Dulles]], also a partner, served as CIA Director (1953–1961). Before these roles, the Dulles brothers were involved in post-World War II activities linked to Gladio’s origins:
	•	Post-WWII Activities: After World War II, the Dulles brothers, through Sullivan & Cromwell, reportedly used seized Nazi assets in the Exchange Stabilization Fund to respond to Vatican requests for rigging European elections, a precursor to Gladio’s anti-communist efforts.
	•	German Connections: Sullivan & Cromwell represented clients like I.G. Farben, a German chemical conglomerate that used slave labor and produced Zyklon B during the war. John Foster Dulles facilitated deals for I.G. Farben and Krupp, aiding Germany’s economic recovery, which aligned with U.S. strategies to counter Soviet influence in Europe.
	•	Operation Sunrise: [[Allen Dulles]], while at the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), negotiated the surrender of German forces in Italy (Operation Sunrise, 1945), against FDR’s orders. This involved granting immunity to Nazi General [[Karl Wolff]], suggesting early coordination with anti-communist networks that later formed Gladio.
