11. Once again
They leave out the big fish...could this have anything to do with weisenthal's involvement? More obfuscation?
Paul Manning tried, and I believe he got the farthest.

 1.   The economic and political component of a Third Reich gone underground, the Bormann organization controls corporate Germany and much of the rest of the world. The Bormann group is a primary element of the analysis presented in the For the Record programs. http://www.spitfirelist.com/f305.html
3.        The broadcast sets forth numerous aspects of the Bormann group’s operations and power. These include: Gestapo chief Heinrich Muller’s role as security director for the Bormann group (FTR-283); the close and thorough surveillance that Muller maintained on Manning while he was writing the book (FTR-283); Manning’s unsuccessful direct negotiations with the Bormann group in an effort to gain an interview with Bormann (FTR-283); German spy chief Reinhard Gehlen’s professional relationship with Muller (FTR-283); Muller’s working relationship with the CIA (FTR-283); the Bormann group’s enormous influence in Israel (FTR-294); the organization’s use of Jewish businessmen (FTR-294, 397.).
15.        Bormann set up 750 corporations in neutral countries, and these became repositories for the liquid wealth of the Third Reich. Overseas subsidiaries of key German corporations were also central to the realization of the Bormann assets.
27.        Among the many countries that figured in an important way in the Bormann structure was Argentina. “Argentina was the mecca for such money in the Western Hemisphere, and when Bormann gave the go-ahead in his overall flight capital program after the decisions at Strasbourg, over $6 billion of this money flowed into Buenos Aires for investment there and elsewhere in Latin America. The investments covered factories, hotels, resorts, cattle, banks, land, sugar and coffee plantations, metallurgy, insurance, electrical products, construction, and communications
35,36.They agreed to my request to bring along a three-man camera crew from CBS News to film my conversations with Martin Bormann, and even approved my wish for at least a personal thumbprint of the former Reichsleiter and party minister, which would be positive proof of his identity. At the organization’s request, I sent the background, names, photos and credentials of the particular CBS cameramen: Lawrence Walter Pierce, Richard Henry Perez, and Oden Lester Kitzmiller.
“I am sorry to say that the younger leaders , the ones now in virtual command, voted ‘No.’ They did agree, however that 232 historical documents from World War II, which Bormann had had shipped out of Berlin in the waning days of the war, and which are stored in his archives in South America, could be sent to me anonymously, to be published.
42“The Bormann organization has the ultimate in clout and substance, and no one can tamper with it. I have been told: ‘You cannot push these people. If you do it can be extremely risky.’ Knowing their heritage I take this statement at face value.” (Ibid.; p. 228.)
43.         “A former CIA contract pilot, who once flew the run into Paraguay and Argentina to the Bormann ranch described the estate as remote, ‘worth your life unless you entered their air space with the right identification codes.” (Ibid.; 292.)
 
The Bormann group’s enormous influence has led to an effective cover-up over the years. “. . .were he to emerge, it would embarrass the governments that assisted in his escape, the industrial and financial leaders who benefited from his acumen and transferred their capital to neutral nations in the closing days of World War II, and the businessmen of four continents who profited from the 750 corporations he established throughout the world as depositories of money, patents, bearer bonds, and shares in blue chip industries of the United States and Europe. . . When I penetrated the silence cloaking this story, after countless interviews and laborious research in German and American archives for revealing documents of World War II, I knew that the Bormann saga of flight capital and his escape to South America was really true. It had been covered up by an unparalleled manipulation of public opinion and the media. The closer I got to the truth, the more quiet attention I received from the forces surrounding and protecting Martin Bormann, and also from those who had a direct interest in halting my investigation. Over the period of years it took to research this book, I was the object of diligent observation by squads of Gestapo agents dispatched from South America by General ‘Gestapo’ Mulller, who directs all security matters for Martin Bormann, Nazi in exile, and his organization, the most remarkable business group anywhere in the secret world of today. Mueller’s interest in me, an American journalist, confirmed the truth of my many interviews and my ongoing investigation. . .There are also those in international government and business who have attempted to stop my forward movement on this investigation. In Germany, France, England, and the United States, too many leaders in government and finance still adhere to Winston Churchill’s statement to his Cabinet in 1943 ‘In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies’ . . .Oddly, I encountered less resistance from Martin Bormann and his aging peers than I did from the cover-up groups in West Germany, Paris, London, Washington, and Wall Street." (Ibid.; pp. 11-12.) (Recorded in June of 1997.)
