Who is Hans Carl Walter Thobe?

Hans Carl Walter Thobe became director and owner of the Sociedade das Minas dos Castelos, Lda in 1943, taking over from Portuguese partners. In a document of 1942 (http://fraser.stlouisfed.org/historicaldocs/1921/download/99644/1942_02464.pdf) published by the Fedreal Reserve Bank of New York, he is listed as a "blocked national" , but so were hundreds of others.
