Henry Ford II and Harry Bennett in Bennett's Office, 1944

01

Artifact Overview

Henry Ford II and Harry Bennett were photographed in Bennett's office in April 1944. The two men did not care for each other. Bennett was a close confidant of the elder Henry Ford's, and he often undermined efforts by Edsel Ford -- Henry Ford's son and Henry Ford II's father -- at great cost to the company. Henry Ford II fired Bennett in 1945.
