Yes, Loftus's book "The Secret War Against the Jews" showed where his personal feelings rested. I was in contact with Loftus a long while back and found him to be difficult, insular and less than forthcoming than I would have expected.
I personally prefer Paul Manning for an accurate insight into the post war Nazi power and financial structure. And it is, therefore, interesting that Loftus has unnecessarily taken a side-swipe at Manning (and Lladislas Farago by having Dulles send them "on a wild goose chase" to find Bormann in South America) in the opening article of this thread. The picture created is that Manning, who was a highly respected journalist in his own right, only had one source (Dulles), and his/their book is therefore somehow unsafe ----- whereas Manning had many sources who provided insight into the Bormann Brotherhood -- and their post war financial clout -- including the supposedly long-dead Gestapo Mueller, Bormann's right hand man.
The fact is that the Bormann goose chase was far more important, imo, than the Thyssen angle by a a quite large factor - especially in terms of the finances that Bormann had available to him - as opposed to the finances of one major Nazi industrialist.
So a valid question to ask is who is sending who on a wild goose chase?

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.
