This short article cites no sources, and Google searches turned up nothing but mirror sites. I believe this article to be a hoax. Margalob (talk) 19:32, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete as a hoax article. Found no mention of him after a thorough online search. The article states that the person lived from 1918 to 1943, about 25 years. It seems unlikely for someone that young to have a successful oil business, let alone a 'scheme' that was hidden for years from the Allied powers - only to be revealed in 1945 (end of WW2), which is again unlikely since the person who was apparently involved in the communication, Ludwig Crüwell, had surrendered to the British in 1942. The line "This connection was not discovered until after his death and after the war ended and Nazi commanders admitted to the scheme" is contradictory to this fact. Furthermore, the line "He owned a Nazi motorcycle but it was assumed to have been salvaged from a previous Nazi visit to the area." seems to be written in an odd made-up fashion.
