ODESSA was more than a NAZI escape network. It also tied into the financial network established by Francois Genoud.

And I understand the Odessa region referenced by the Odessa Mafia. But I'm also wondering if it was a dual reference.

I am married to a Russian lady, and we maintain homes in both Kansas City and Volgograd. Some of the things I read about the Russian Mafia are true, but there is are some which are not. I highly recommend watching the Russian movie "Brigade," which is a 6 DVD set, with English subtitles. It more than compares with any of our Mafia movies, and was the most popular Russian movie.
