In the 1980s....Alfred Herrhausen made a name for himself in West German banking. He ended up as the chairman of the Deutsche Bank. He was also a member of the Steering Commmittee of the Bilderberg Bank. I should add....he came to be a personal finance advisor to Chancellor Helmut Kohl, and a key player in the development of the EU strategy on finance.
So here's the key thing....in 1989....with the Wall collapsing and West German-Soviet relations developing....for about four months....his name was the second most mentioned name in German society (after Kohl).
Then on the morning of 30 November of 1989....Herrhausen was assassinated in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe.
The police were fixed on the killing.
The type of bomb? Armor-piercing weapon....not some fly-by-night satchel bomb.
Red Army Faction (RAF) claiming responsibility? Well....yeah, some statement came and said they did it. The problem is....after a serious amount of review....German cops didn't really believe them.
Adding to this Soviet-West German relations, along with East German relations were on a super-positive point. Neither the Soviets or East Germans (the primary 'friend' of the RAF....had any reason to see him out of the situation).
Last night....ARD (public TV in Germany) ran a fairly decent historical movie of the guy and his end. After it ended...an hour-long news piece was done. All of the people involved in the research....mostly voiced....NO RAF involvement.
So who went to a lot of trouble to end Herrhausen?
I can't see any country in EU involved in this effort. I also don't think anyone out of the Middle East involved. People helping and thinking this was a RAF-sanctioned event? I could see that. But who ran this assassination?
In the end....you are left with only two intelligence services with the angle and ability....Mossad and the CIA.
The odds that the Kohl government figured this out? Well....they aren't stupid.
Payback in some way? It's just something you wonder about.
