Hello, The dirtiest story of modern German - if not worldwide - whaling history has finally been told in a peer-reviewed, German journal and is available online: Klaus Barthelmess: ³Die Gegner der OLYMPIC CHALLENGER. Wie amerikanische Geheimdienste, Norweger und Deutsche das Walfangabenteuer des Aristoteles Onassis beendeten² [The opponents of OLYMPIC CHALLENGER. How American secret services, Norwegians and Germans brought about an end to the Onassis whaling venture], in: Polarforschung, 79 (3), 2009 [published 2010], pp. 155-176. available online at: http://epic.awi.de/Publications/Bar2010f.pdf An 11-page appendix of 17 hitherto classified documents in Norwegian transcription - with German translation - bears testimony to a story of bribery, treason, and sleazy political deals in which Onassis - usually credited with more notoriety than fame - rather appears as the victim. With almost a dozen acting parties from half the globe, some of them acting in secrecy, I dare say it is a story worthy of a thriller movie. Suggestions of a script author and producer welcome ;-) English abstract and picture captions are provided for the article. There is also a table of the whaling infractions committed by OLYMPIC CHALLENGER. Regards Klaus Barthelmess barthval at t-online.de
