After the war, Kopps worked out of the Vatican with the "ratline" before making good his own escape to South America. Kopps took a list of Abwehr officers stationed throughout the world with him. Kopps now lives as Juan Maler in the town of San Carlos de Bariloche near the Chilean border. Kopps/Maler is a publisher of anti-masonic and antisemitic materials who employs Godenau as a traveling salesman for his literature. Godenau has also admitted to "moving" money for Kopps, as well as serving as his go-between with other members of the Nazi movement in 52 countries. During the first week of April, 1993, S.W.C. researcher, Richard Eaton, flew to Argentina where he met with Kopps on three occasions. During one of these meetings, Kopps provided Eaton with a letter of introduction to a contact in Luxembourg who could be trusted to funnel large sums of money to various neo- Nazi groups in Germany. Interestingly, Kopps also recommended Mark Weber (see entry) to Mr. Eaton for a separate project. (Request fascism SWC.oprep)
