<PCUE> Wimpe is the V-man in GR.  V-man stands for Verbindungmann
<PCUE> (apologies if I've misspelled the German).  These were

Verbindungsmann, that is. but you are right. even nowadays we call these  
men working for the german secret services like the BND, MAD or the  
Verfassungsschutz like this. it a common word for these guys.

frank.

<PCUE> international salesmen/agents/spies of IG Farben; therefore, the
<PCUE> reference to them as intelligence agents makes perfect sense.
<PCUE> The only difference is that it appears from the studies out
<PCUE> there on IG Farben that the V-men swore company allegiance
<PCUE> before country--which, of course, fits into the cartel structure
<PCUE> that Wimpe tells Tchitcherine about.
