Von Gier und Größenwahn
Franz Josef Strauß

Note
Curator's note
🇩🇪 This gripping exposé delves into the Strauß dynasty's legacy, weaving a dark tapestry of political power, systemic corruption, and personal enrichment.
It traces how Franz Josef Strauß’s children allegedly leveraged their father’s titan-like influence to build questionable business empires. By blending historical scandals with the family's insatiable "greed and megalomania," the narrative reveals a haunting portrait of a clan that treated the state like a private bank.
