He has maintained a clandestine broadcasting station on his “Quinta _ de Martinez’ estate.” From a build- ing near the Retiro railway station, he organized a system of signaling to submarines with flags and lights. Von Luxburg’s activitics resulted in the Joss of Allied lives and the sinking of innumerable Allied ships, and Allied claims for his delivery to them would be fully justified. As the key Nazi in Argentina, he might cast light on the Nazi network in this contincnt. . Von Luxburg is also said to have cooperated with Fritz Mandl, former Austrian munitions magnate, and to have put him in contact with the Argentine gencrals. He is also re- ported to have helped finance the GOU coup d’etat in June, 1943, and to have personally advised Victor Paz Estenssoro, leader of the coup in Bolivia in December, 1943.
