James, if you haven't read Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile by Paul Manning, I highly recommend you consider doing so. You can download a free .dpf copy at Dave Emory's Spitfire List (HERE).
I would also suggest reading what Emory wrote about Manning and the tribulations he suffered (HERE). He had a follow up book ready to publish titled In Search of Martin Bormann, but in the end this didn't proceed to publication. The reasons are stated below:
The bottom line was that the Bormann Brotherhood was enormously rich and used that wealth wisely in investments. Even before the end of WWII they had very hefty investments in leading US stocks and banks as well as in other nations. 750 companies had been established to launder their proceeds and eclipse them from post war investigation.
I would venture the view that they are far wealthier today that in 1945/6. And enormously powerful because of that wealth.

Quote:Much of his postwar career was devoted to researching the Nazi flight-capital program÷through this research he came to write Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile. Although his research on Bormann was partially funded by CBS News, the network never "went" with the story. Those who would denigrate his work on the Bormann Organization should carefully weigh their own journalistic credentials against Paul Manning's, in addition to taking into account the research resources accessed in the book.
Manning paid dearly for his efforts. He was actively marginalized, his family suffered the resultant economic hardship. (FTR 145 contains a reading of some of Mr. Manning's correspondence with professional colleagues, discussing the documentary sources utilized for his book, as well as some of the professional difficulties he encountered during his endeavor. Side 1 of FTR 152 is the story of the frustration of the publication of Manning's Bormann book. When Manning was finally able to get Lyle Stuart, Inc. to publish the book, Lyle Stuart had both of his legs broken the week the book was published. FTR 125 is a spontaneous interview with Paul's son Peter, conducted after Peter called Mr. Emory's show. FTR 155 consists of the last published work that Paul did. Both FTR 283, and Side 1 of FTR 152 discuss Mr. Manning's riveting professional dialogue with the Bormann group, through professional intermediaries.) Eventually, Paul's son Gerry was murdered in retribution for the Bormann research, and as a warning against publishing a follow-up volume In Search of Martin Bormann. The "target selection" by the Bormann group for its retribution may well have been determined by the dedication of Martin Bormann, Nazi in Exile. "To my wife, Peg, and to our four sons, Peter, Paul, Gerald and John, whose collective encouragement and belief in this book as a work of historic importance gave me the necessary persistence and determination to keep going."

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
