The "Octogon network" and the german rearmament Scandal, 1933/1963, by Hugues HENRI (original) (raw)

In 1944, in Strasbourg, a secret meeting took place in a hotel-restaurant. The war is lost for Nazi Germany, everyone knows it, and they are planning how to continue the war beyond the defeat that everyone knows is near. It is a question of sheltering the financial power of Nazi Germany, although the war is already lost, it will continue until Germany regains its unity, thanks to the industrialists who will finance the party transformed into an underground organization. The Nazi government is prepared to pay them considerable sums to be invested abroad, which, together with those already pre-positioned, will constitute the reserve at the disposal of the party, so that after the debacle, a powerful Reich can be reborn. In 1945, after the surrender, nazi general Gerhardt Gelhen returned by the OSS, he will spy on East Germany until 1956. Gehlen hid in the Bavarian Alps, where the Allies would discover some of the countless works of art raided from all the museums in countries occupied by the Nazis by whole trains, destined for Swiss art dealers, but also in a factory near the Swiss border a part of the Nazi treasure, several tens of billions of Swiss francs in the form of currency and gold bars stamped with the swastika, which has already been mentioned, again for the bankers of Switzerland and Lichtenstein. Schellenberg, head of the Odessa network for the exfiltration of Nazi criminals, benefited from the rest of the funds hidden in Switzerland. Rudolf Ruscheweyh, a German citizen who acquired the citizenship of Lichtenstein, very useful for those who, like him, must frequently cross the borders discreetly. He, whose Cadillac is often loaded with ingots and other currencies to stash in Switzerland or Lichtenstein.

During the war, his numerous traffics often took Rudolf Ruscheweyh from Paris to Brussels and Amsterdam, where he had offices. Sick, he drove around in a Cadillac accompanied by a nurse. As early as 1940, he went to Switzerland in the company of an SD agent in charge of investing foreign currency in Swiss banks to finance the actions of Nazi secret agents abroad. In addition he had the status of consul of Lichtenstein, which further facilitated the exchanges and the comings and goings of the trafficker. His villa in Lichtenstein is close to the border, in the middle of the forest, it was guarded during the whole war by SS. His cellars were the storage place for many mysterious goods, including gold bars and uniforms of different armies made to measure for Mr. R. as well as 6 passports of different nationalities in the name of Rudolf Ruscheweyh, all these elements support the hypothesis that Mr. R. was a German spy of the SD.
