Gerhard Mertins and Colonia Dignidad

One of Paul Schäfer’s close friends and former Nazi, Gerhard Mertins, was also involved with Colonia Dignidad. Until his death in 1993, Mertins was considered the biggest arms dealer in the world.⁠1 Interestingly, Mertins was also the contradiction to one of William Branham’s Latter Rain predictions. Branham claimed to have prophesied that Benito Mussolini would face his final defeat after invading Ethiopia.⁠

After invading Ethiopia in 1935, Mussolini forged an alliance with Nazi Germany. In 1940, Italy entered WWII on the German side and invaded British Somaliland. Mussolini invaded several countries after Ethiopia, including Albania, France, Egypt, Greece, Yugoslavia, Tunisia, British Somaliland, Kenya, and Sudan. Mussolini was eventually captured, however, and imprisoned when the Allied forces invaded Italy. In 1943, Mertins participated in the Gran Sasso raid rescuing Benito Mussolini from prison in Italy.⁠

In the 1970s, Mertins began selling arms produced by Colonia Dignidad, as well as supplying the colony with arms. According to the testimony of Erika Heimann, several tubes were sent from Germany filled with machine guns from Mertins. The colony referred to Mertins by the code name “me”, “Merich”, or Meeretich”.⁠ Another testimony from Gerhard Micke confessed that Mertins had asked for 100,000 mortars.⁠
