Uncle Aloys affair

The Uncle Aloys affair is one of the scandals in the run-up to the Spiegel affair surrounding the then Defense Minister Franz Josef Strauss. The nominal uncle of Strauss's wife Marianne, Aloys Brandenstein, has been given commissions in armaments business and thus become a millionaire. The high point was the affair in 1962 with the article "Onkel Aloys" in the magazine Der Spiegel. In response to the news, Strauss sued the head of the mirror, Rudolf Augstein, who was condemned to Strauss for allegations of painfulness before the Federal Supreme Court on the grounds of "highly honorable claims" Single-level Edit source text
