In his talks with Siegmund, Brinckmann elaborated his own revisionist history and brazenly denied that the 1938 transfer had constituted a true Aryanization. Noting Max’s brush with bankruptcy in 1931, he said the firm had mostly crumbled away (abgebröckelt) by 1938. When Siegmund replied that the old partners were never paid for goodwill, Brinckmann denied that the bank had any goodwill left in 1938 and claimed he had saved the remnants of a failed institution.
