Second Covent Garden decided to team up with Zeckendorf in the U.S. in order to break into the lucrative American real estate market. But to ensure that their cash would not be hustled into visionary new Zeckendorf expansion schemes, the British placed five representatives on the ten-man board of Zeckendorf Property.

Ulbricht was apparently happy to see his political rivals disposed of. In May 1945, it was Ulbricht who led the little ten-man convoy of Communist leaders into war-torn Berlin to start the regime that today holds East Germany in a grip of iron...
