Talk:Franz von Rintelen

Untitled
Hey, can someone explain this sentence: 'Arriving in New York City, he posed as a businessman and, with Heinrich Albert, set up a dummy corporation called Bridgeport Projectile, through which he purchased gunpowder, which he then destroyed.'  Is the idea here that by buying munitions and destroying them, it hampered wartime production efforts/allied supply chains? Maybe that's meant to be evident. Or maybe I have it wrong???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.193.128.210 (talk) 23:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
