Ford Motor Company sanitized it for a reason. It was a family reputation to worry about. Henry was getting more paranoid as time went by and it just got worse when the old timers started retiring. He knew less and less people around the plants and he didn't trust anyone he didn't know. Harry Bennett would hang out with him and was really his henchman. Harry had so many of his cronies working under him that were less than reputable that he likely didn't know what all was going on behind his own back. Henry had a dark side that was made worse by failing mental health. Harry did what ever Henry told him to do. The family got together on this and decided enough was enough. Getting rid of Harry would show Henry that they had had enough and it worked. Harry Bennett was not a Ford so he had no chance of ever taking over. Much of the information about this stuff was kept from the public until the old timers started writing their memoirs and telling their first hand experiences for transcript into the Ford Archives. The public at large didn't know about any of it at the time as it would have been a scandal.

I've read most of the transcribed histories and they all seem to back each other up.
