Sabby- thank you for sharing some insight into the NW.

Br. Nigh was a German to the Germans. He learned their language, translated countless choruses and at least one NT book (Philippians). He opened an international bible college and had the largest fellowship in Europe. That HQ "denied" him PIM status reinforces his comment to me that in those days he felt like he was "swimming with sharks".
