Germany
November 23,1890 and first came to Colombia ,in 19240 He was a
membor of the Board of Directors of the Banco Aleman Antioquefio
for many years and prior to 1941 he was generally considered to
be anti-Nazi. It is reported, that his daughter NAN! went to
Ge rmany in 1938, where ahe married an officer In the German,
Army. Since that tIme lVf0H'rLER appeared to have changed his polltl~
cal sympathies somewhat and was regarded as an Axis sympathizer
8lthou.sh there is no evidence available indicating he has ever
engaged in any form of subversive activities, MOR'l'LER's name
presently appears on the UII'S~ Proclaimed List of Certain Blocked

The Bureau has become increasingly concerned over the extent of
the smuggling activlty by Axis interests of strategic materials, such as
industrial diamonds. platinum' andchem1calsfrom Latin .Am.ericat.,o EUrope.
It is ;felt that the ,Bur~au in its work in Latin Awanoa oan do much to
bring about the downfall of the Axis Pl.'m'ers by uncoverir1g the smuggling
activity in these strategic materials which are 60 n~cessary to an~
econ.omy and to thesIDooth funotioning of its war raachi."1e. 'fa t11 the supply
of these vitally needed strategic materials' cut off, German industry would
be lruiter1ally affected and its production of war :implemer..ts would be seri:"
cusly impairEld" thus hasten:i.ngan Allledvictol7.
'
!he difficulties lncombatting this actiVity are great. MUch
has been acoomplished by the use of the British navicel'ting system" which,
hO'W'eV9l', does not. pre'I1l!.m.t smuggling 'by the passengers. orarevil'. While:fre
quent interceptions end searches of neutral vessels going' from LI!l.tin ,l\n.Ierlca
to Europe are desirabl$, th~ra, are certain inherent difficul.ties invo1.:!€;!d.
When it is oonsid-ered haY( easy it is to smuggle' articles of very csm.a.l1bulk
such as pu.tinwn or industrial diamonds. it 1s readily naUaed'~hc:wi,::praotioally impossible 1t1R tor ev~ the most skillful. and experienced sWf'of

It ls:bh~reforeseen that the only effective means ofcontml
open to th~ Allied Nations is' the obtaining of precise and specifio infor-.
mation eoncem1rig ant:1oipated smuggllng of these strategio materials. It
is felt by- the Bureau that tht:1. only wsg to obtain this information Is t~
~evelop informants in the mining of the strategic. materials; in the trarie
po~ation of them to the seaboard where they-are placed on t.h,e neutral
vess&l~; and on the vessels th~elves. In accordance therewith, eaoh
office is requested to review its coverage regarding smuggling activity
and fumish a resume of its informant covG1"age to the Bureau in 'the near
future. !nthis regard, emphasis Should be plac$d on, the quality ot the
informants and not upon the quantity". The mere tact that an individual
has expressed his willingness to cooperate and furnish informatiQn is not
enough '- he should be in a position to obtain the information whioh the .
Bureau is interested in reoeiv1ng. , Each office 1e requested to fumish
the Bureau with its list of '1nforman~ indicating the vru,ue 'of the inform-:
ants ~d the information which they
able to furnish.
arB
'v:1hen informaticm1s obtained Qonoeming the smuggling of strategic
materials,. the information should .be relayed to the Bureau so that appro
priate action might be taken. The ideal situation, of course, would be-for
the inform.ation to be in possession of the Bure~ before the sailing of' the
suspeoted ~sseJ. trom the Latin Am.erioan port. In this case, th:e· vessel
would. undoubtedly b~ boarded: by an armed guard· shortly after its' 'depart.ure
from the .Latin American port and it would be brought to a oontrol port for
search. This prooedure would place tight oontrol over the course of the
vessel and the aotivities of the passengers and crew and.would eliminate
the necessity of a wide searchf~r the vessel upon the high seas 'as it ap
proached the European coast where it would be brought into a control port.

and Japan need at the

letter that JIURGES, was well kno,wn for his unreliability.
No further information was developed in t·his matter in Buenos
Aires and no evidenc~ was secured to indioate that the three
submarines had landed as alleged.
In the report'of Representatiye V~WA~ER PROSPERE
1945 at Buenos Aires in the ,case entitled, ,
"ALFRE; .SENBERG, Submarine landing in Argentina~ November 10,
1944; ESPIONAGE - Gtt, intorma tion 'was set forth concerning
allegations that Subj'ect ROSENBERG landed in Argent ina by
submarine on the night of J:l0vember 10, 1944 with a large sum
of money and that he had gone to an estancia nea.r Cordoba,
Argentina. It was stated that information from a doubtful
source reflected that the submarine had landed November 7,
1944 midway between Necochea and Bahia Blanca, Argentina.
On July 27, 1945 the ~erican Embassy in Buenos Aires received
a cable from the Stat'e Department to the effect that ALFRED
ROSENBERG had been in the custody of the Allied author1t'ies
in Europe "for sometime". It appears, therefore,' ,the
'
allegations pertaining'to ROSENBERG were unfounded.
dated'~~19,
,
A review ,of th~ ygo Case in Buenos Aires revealed
that the sailing vessei,1"santa Barbara",' which left Arcah'On,
France, arrived off the coast of Argentina near Mar Del Plata
at the end of June or beginning of July, 1944 and anchored
approximately one'-ha1t,mile off shore and t en miles due south
of the city of Mar Del 'Plata. At that .time two German agent s
were put ashore together with a quantity of drugs which had
been valued at approximately $57,500.00 U. 8.. currency•. The
agents were apprehended by the' Argentine auth~ri t ieson
August ~O 1944 and were identified as WALTE~ClCHARDT and
ALFONS~RAIN~ These indi viduals had been s,ent by the

Honorable Sir:
I wish to caU your attention toaconditian of affairs as
follows:
,
I have been recently .calledin on a ma.tter which I beHeve con
cerns our Government to quite some extent. My business i~ that of an adjust
tar of fire losses. A fireoc1rred in E. warehouse. Among the various com
modi ties effected was a lot of eather d.estined for Budapest, Hungary. This
merchandi se was held, in stora~ qy, reason of the fs.ct that no bottoms were
.\
B,vaEable for shipment to the other side. \ih:tle aWaiting.shiPl~.ent •. this firel
. had occurred. Sub seqnently , I unAarthe.d the fact that thlS shlpment total- ..
, ing close to a million dollars 'has been claimed by the German Government.
\.~

The officials of the Uni te'd States had been mad.e aware of the
true. condi t:!.ons of affairs and B,re watching same very carefully.
My purpose in \<rriting.this letter toy-ou
to call attention
t'o the fact that there must be m'any different kinds of commodities that are
held all o'yerthi scountry for shipment to ,the other side and not be;.ng
enabled to make s'lipment,.it is my thought that some disposition'will be
made on the part of the owners or c' stociians to etther di spoae or ~estroy
with the view in mind of collectin insur?nce monies and somehow
these monies to ei thar Germ

BACKGROUND
An Agent for ern of the Army has advised the San Francisco lI~Vlswn

of some ~;!404,840 and .405 English pounds allegedly receipted for on August 24,
1945 by one Captain Fred S. treumanr:. of the 'Ihird U. S. Army. It was stated
tha t this investi.gation is to determine ".vhetber or not Neurnann misappropriated
funds turned over to the Army by captured prisoners of war •.
l'he San Francisco Division was advised that although finance records
of the headquarters for the European Comrnand failed to disclose. that this sum
of money was ever received by the U. S. Army from Captatn l\:eurnann, eID

SourceB advised that AnNAU has been marking time
to a large extent in his efforts to reorganize the Falange
pending the return to Argentina from Spain of LOSADA..
According to this source, LOSADA is reported to be bringing
. orders and instru ct ions from; Falang'e headquarters in
Madrid regarding the reorganization of .tUe Fal'nge in
Argentina. As this source has preyiously advised, one of
the main purposes of LOSADA'S trip to. Spain was to endeavor
to have 'Falange headquarters send fearless, trusted agents
unknown in the Western Hemisphere to Argentina to aid.
and assist in the reo~ganization of the Falange and to
bring about a closer cooperation between Falange and
German espionage ,groups in Argentina ...
..
t
Since LOSADA'S departure to Spain, little activi1::y
has occurred within the Falange and such action as was
'
taken has been in an effort to put matters in order so
.
that upon the receipt of expected instructions on LOSADA'S
return reorganization maybe begun immediately. According
to Source B, in an effort to form a st~ong
c eus ~round
vlhich to build a Falange organizat ion JESU
NDA, . a leading
Falang i st and· confidant 0 fARNAU, travalle vlidely through
w~stern and Northern Argentina ~uring the latter part of
June and July contacting known Falangists and Falange
sympathizers in,an effort to weld them into. nucleus. On
July 22, 1944, a small meeting was held in La Plata, at which
time JOSE Al{'rON"IO JILlTNEZ (ARHAU y GRAl-I) was present, together
with leading Falangists from Buenos Aires and-La Platatind
a few representatives from outside the m~tropolitandi6trict~
This meeting was held in the Institucipn Cultura Hispano

smaller than had originally been anticipated at the
first large meeting which tbok place in the latter part
of May, 1944.
S6urce A likewise was hnable to furnish
additiorial infor~ation conce~~ing these individuals.
Source B advi~ed that ~hecooperation formerly
existing for.espionage' purposes between t:h~ Spanish Falange
and .va:'rious Ge:rmanespionage groups ,in Argentina'was de,aIt'
rude blows by: the 'de,tention by Arge~tine police authorities
of leading membEirs of the German espioiiage' g:r:oup and
togeth~r with them several Spaniar~s who had acted as liaison
men or active agents between the Spanish Falange and the
Germ~ns.
The remaining 'members of t~e F~lange who are
cooperating with the Germans have been organized into ce~ls ,
for security purposes and continue their cooperation although
under difficulties at times and in a most sec~etive manner.
Ac~ording' to this source,' the ~Grmans are desirous of
building up and' fostering the Falange as an opponent of the
democracies and believe i~ may be used a~ an opening wedge
against the demo craci e sin' the futur e j, f th e opportunity'
presents itself~
In the furth~ranc~ of thiS plan, the
Falangists partially 'in the furtherance of the German desire
and parti~lly in order 'to continue their own existence are
seeking to infiltrate various spheres of influence of.

not 'only to aid themseljesbut to be of possible assistance
to the Germans at a later date.
)
Source B advised th,at at the present' time the
Falange within Argentina cannot be considered as' being
completely or~anized, but is composed of various small g~oups
and cells which are operating rather loosely under directives
from Ai1NAU and are awaiting the time of LOSADA'S return to be
brought in closely together to form the nucleus of the
Falange in Argentina.
Source B furnished the following ~s being th~ line-up

�the trip the circumstances surrounding it were extremely
peculiar and that it was deemed unusual that after su:che:
long stay in Ar,gentina it should suddenly occur to LOSADA
to go to Spain for only three months and have his passage
,paid.
ARNAU by means of cable received nevIs from LOSADA
that he was embarking on the Monte Albertiawhich_:was scheduled

of plans of LOSADA and was apparent'ly unable to account for
it other ,than that ~atters of importance had arisen in
Spain which nece~sit,ated LOSADA'S staying. '

associated with ,a Spaniard named ALVAREZ in Toledo vlho is
described as being a known German espionage agent. MARUCRI
FRES~TO was 'fa rmerly employed by him in Spain and acc ordi ng
to this source was questioned closely by the English at ,

Title
A name given to the resource
Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets
Description
An account of the resource
<p>The Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States, formed in 1998, was charged with investigating what happened to the assets of victims of the Holocaust that ended up in the possession of the United States Federal government. The final report of the Commission, <a href="http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/pcha/PlunderRestitution.html/html/Home_Contents.html"> “Plunder and Restitution: Findings and Recommendations of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Holocaust Assets in the United States and Staff Report"</a> was submitted to President Clinton in December 2000.</p>
<p>Chairman - Edgar Bronfman<br /> Executive Director - Kenneth Klothen</p>
<p>The collection consists of 19 series. The first fifteen series of the collection are composed mostly of photocopied federal records.
