...bird he was after was not Ambassador Baron Edmund von Thermann, but one Gottfried Sandstede, who was officially listed as head of the Embassy's press office. Investigator Damonte had good reason to suspect that he was head of Heinrich Himmler's Gestapo in Argentina, that the Ambassador himself took orders from Gottfried Sandstede.
