Hi.  I'm researching a hotel built in Shanghai (1932-34) for my M.A.
thesis.  The steel for this hotel, which was the tallest in Shanghai
until the 1980s, came from Vereinigte Stahlwerke A.G. I want to find out
more about the contacts this company may have had in Shanghai.  I have
read the notes taken from I.G. Farben, which confirms the hotel's
tenuous connections with Germany I have already found, through the
Hungarian architect.  
Any ideas?
