It is not clear whether the three Nazis who started the fund intended it really to be used for the victims of the Nazis or for the recreation of the Third Reich. One of the three inheritors of the Covenant and her brother are evidently pro-Nazi; the mother of the Caine character seems to think the Covenant was designed for pro-Nazi purposes, yet all this is unclear, even at the very end. Michael Caine wants to use the funds for victims of the Nazis but it is not clear whether anyone else wants this. I dislike films and novels of intrigue which leave the reader/viewer completely confused. This may be a literary technique but for me it is a gross deficiency.
