Somerton Man was a contract killer or a secret Agent (contract killer )

A friend of mine drew an interesting Connection. I told him of a true Story where a man was arested in Germany for killing 2 Neonazis in selfdefence on a railstation in about 4 seconds. He got arested by the Police an a lawyer was hired to get him out by a doubios Company. Here it Comes: He had no papers on him. But cigarettes. And all Labels from his clothing were carfully removed. The Police could never figure out his identity and he didnt tell them. Since the lawyer was making legal pressure and it was obvious that the man had acted in self defence. It was on tape on the railstation. The Police had to release him cause no crime was comitted. The lawyers Name is Ferdinand von Schirach and he published the case in a book called Verbrechen (crime in german). the book was really popular in Germany and it was also made into a series (this and 5 other really strange cases). The lawyer suspected that the man was a contract killer. So my guess would be that Somerton Man was a contract killer or a secret Agent (contract killer :)

Good morning. I've been researching this case for 4 years and have a book ready for publication by about Christmas. Not that I'm here to promote it, new information about the characters comes by very rarely, as do any leads that help confirm the suspicious nature of the Somerton Man's death.
I'm hoping that by joining the Avalon outfit I might find a few 'espionage' thinkers, the police, back in 1948 and even now in 2015' will not countenance anything of an espionage nature despite the plain evidence that some was in place.
Thanks for reading this far.
