[edit] Nassau?

His assets where at which Nassau - Germany or Bahamas? I'm assuming the latter, but I'd like to be sure. Istvan 16:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

It was Bahamas. The current link is correct. --LA2 17:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Was he a friend of Goring or not?

This is confusing. Article says he was "incorrectly" rumored to be a friend of Goring, then goes on to state that Wenner-Gren sought to make himself a conduit between the Nazis and the Allies. Per Charles Higham's book "American Swastika" (Doubleday, 1984), he was a Nazi sympathizer who worked to further German interests in the New World during WW2.

There seems to be no dispute that Wenner-Gren was close to the Duke of Windsor while both resided in the Bahamas. The Duke of Windsor was notoriously pro-Nazi, and also hoped for detente between the Nazis and the West. This article seems to discount these activities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captqrunch (talk • contribs) 13:41, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
