The Splintering Frame

[David Guyatt]

Stan observes

The framework of Germany was absorbed in the American corporate structure after the war, and the battle is on to control being.

Aye, I would agree with that Phil. Perhaps even before the end of WWII? Various major US corporations strongly favoured Hitler. Among the many shocking revelations Higham wrote about in his book, was the fact that Standard Oil provided oil to Hitler for his war machine - after the outbreak of war. As I recall I think Spain was the end-user destination and they had it shipped to the Balearic Islands to the U-Boat pens there (and I believe elsewhere too). One of the pre-war main clients of the Dulles Brothers was Fritz Thyssen, who the nazis used as their secret investor in US corporations, including Standard Oil. He owned as many shares as Rockerfeller.

Like David I read Grey Wolf and am following up Simon Dunstan and Gerrard Williams' route from the bunker doppleganger gambit through tunnels and trimotors and U-boat to Patagonia with Peter Levenda whose Ratline leads to Indonesia

I recall Stevenson telling the story in his Bormann Brotherhood, of how he interviewed Hjalmar Schacht in Jakarta in the 1950's and being told that Hitler's mistake was going to war; he should simply have dominated through money - and that was the way the Bormann group were now going (and did, in fact, go as they dropped Hitler and left him to rot in Argentina). But do tell Phil, the Levenda Ratline that led to Indonesia? I must've missed that one...
