Bechers Ziel - Der Fall Manfred Weiss und die Parallel-Diplomatie der SS (1944)
Becher's Aim - The Case of manfred Weiss and the Parallel Diplomacy fo the SS (1944)

Summary/Abstract: In June 1944, short after the German invasion of Hungary, the Manfred Weiss holding was taken over by the SS. The owners' family signed a proxy for Himmler's and Becher's organisation. Therefore over 30 Jewish and Catholic members of the family were allowed to leave to Portugal and Switzerland. The present article contributes to the general picture analysing the context that made the Portuguese dictatorship to be an interested, though formally neutral, part in the separate peace strategy of the SS. It also contributes to the Manfred Weiss story by means of the interviews with surviving members of the family.
