B/W being an "avatar" of Nazi ideology is not contingent
upon his being an officer of any rank or having a genuine
interest in his actual job(s).
You have suggested that B/W's slide was owed to his open

175's placing B/W at the top of their phantom hierarchy,
the text does not support your argument.
