Reading from my copy of Martin Bormann: Nazi in Exile by Paul Manning, I see these sentences:
"Atop an organizational pyramid that dominates the industry of West Germany through banks, voting rights enjoyed by majority shareholders in significant cartels, and the professional input of a relatively young leadership group of lawyers, investment specialists, bankers, and industrialists, he [Bormann] is satisfied that he achieved his aim of helping the Fatherland back on its feet." [p. 284]
"To ensure continuity of purpose and direction, a close watch is maintained on the profit statements and management reports of corporations under its control elsewhere. This leadership group of twenty, which is in fact a board of directors, is chaired by Bormann, but power has shifted to the younger men who will carry on the initiative that grew from that historic meeting in Strasbourg on August 10, 1944. Old Heinrich Mueller, chief of security for the NSDAP in South America, is the most feared of all, having the power of life and death over those deemed not to be acting in the best interests of the organization." [p. 284]
But the Manning book was published in 1981. We know the some of the names of the players as of 1981.
But the main questions implied here remain:
1. If this board of directors in 1981 was made up of card-carrying Nazis, were those on the board of directors after 1981 also card-carrying Nazis?
2. Was this Bormann board of directors merely an interlocking directorate with organizations domiciled in West Germany which were just run-of-the-mill businesses?
3. Since Pope Francis was the head of the Jesuit Order in Argentina in 1981, can we inquire as to what degree there was an Argentina-West Germany axis in 1981 and after? Were the Bilderberg people involved such as Prince Bernard of the Netherlands?
4. The August 10, 1944 Strasbourg meeting included German "industrialists" as well as top Nazis. Was there ever a clear dividing line between these industrialists and the top Nazis either before the War's end or after?
5. Based on my reading of Trading With The Enemy by Charles Higham, the successor companies to the I G Farben cartel, led by Hermann Schmitz, were not colluding with the South American Nazis as of 1963. This was when the General Analine and Film case was on the desks of JFK/RFK. If there were the ex-Nazis involved at that time, Higham does not mention any by name or explain their roles, if any.
So we don't really know any of the names of the "younger" members of Bormann's 20 member board of directors and for how long they continued to control these interests. IMHO, this tends to prove the thesis that the fugitive Nazi empire and its millions were pretty much confiscated by Juan Peron and Eva Peron and became more of a generalized global organization than a purely Nazi entity.
One can't rule out the possibility that the CIA (working with Heinrich Muller) actually took control of certain of these funds and used them for clandestine purposes after 1981.
But I have not read anything that proves much beyond the year 1981 when Manning was writing.
