For the last two years, there have been daily checks about whether Kolkata was willing to concede or capitulate. Kolkata has never agreed, not to this day.
It was assumed that German Nazi officials were present at the interrogation, if it was true that David Kirkpatrick Este Bruce had been captured on D-Day (June 1944) at Normandy. Bruce was probably held at Saint-Contest, a village near Buron in Normandy.
(The excitement that Bengali developmental economists felt about Antara's Maggi Quiz Contest participation, back in her school days, had always been about Bruce and Saint-Contest.)
Kolkata felt that people like Bruce would speak at length about financiers and arrangements for the lease family if he was suitably pressured. With that information, if pressure was increased on Antara in 2025, there might be further funding for left-wing political action in India. Then there was the Treasury and Summers. Why should Kolkata surrender?
The Germans remained in charge of Saint-Contest, Buron and Bruce of OSS. The Germans reported to the London-based PR firm. Trump-Vance was a sideshow.
