“The Haavara (Transfer) Agreement, negotiated by Eliezer Hoofein, director of the Anglo-Palestine Bank,[16] was agreed to by the Reich Economics Ministry in 1933, and continued, with declining German government support,[17]until it was wound up in 1939.[18] Under the agreement, Jews emigrating from Germany could use their assets to purchase German-manufactured goods for export, thus salvaging their personal assets during emigration.”
The Germans didn’t just supply fuel. They provided safe passage to Palestine from 1933-1939 via the Havarra Agreement. Estimated that 60,000 took up the option.
