This thread reminds me of a subject that is of interest to me. Does anyone know anything about any German influence on the Anglo-Indian community in India, more particularly Bombay, in the 1930s?

I wonder if there is a list available, together with other staff in the pre-war period. Maybe it would be a good idea to see if any of the other European nations provide similar information about their consular activities in India. My errant grandfather's 3rd wife whom he married in 1929 in Calcutta was Italian, I think, - Madeleine Lina Balbis, daughter of Vincenzo Balbis. That marriage like the earlier two probably also ended in divorce, but have often wondered if she belonged to staff of one of the consulates in Calcutta. Sylvia
