Rathenau returned to Austria a changed man. According to his daughter Ava, something had happened during the Nazi hunter's trip to Egypt that had left him deeply shaken.

 Waggish: Robert Musil and Walter Rathenau
Arnheim was modeled on Walter Rathenau, the businessman and foreign minister who became one of the most prominent international negotiators in post-Versailles Germany, until he was assassinated by anti-Semitic right-wingers in 1922, removing one more obstacle in the way of the ideological and political ascent of Nazism.
Rathenau is long dead, and with him much of the kindling for Musil's work.
His father Emil Rathenau had founded AEG, the German General Electric Compny, but young Walter was more than another industrial heir--he was a philosopher with a vision of the postwar State.

 CHAPTER THREE: General Electric Funds Hitler
Walter Rathenau was, until his assassination in 1922, managing director of Allgemeine Elekrizitats Gesellschaft (A.E.G,), or German General Electric, and like Owen Young and Gerard Swope, his counterparts in the U.S., he was a prominent advocate of corporate socialism.
When we disentangle the turgid Rathenau prose, this means that the power of the State was to be made available to private firms for their own corporate purposes, i.e., what is popularly known as national socialism.
