Like about everything else, a quaint search evolves into an encyclopedia. But some sources give that Benno Strauß a.k.a. Clemens Pasel was a chemist at BASF(Carl Bosch von der Badischen Anlin und Soda Fabrik) and Krupp initially expressed interest and then funded an effort for a shipment of NIROSTA V2A circa 1914. Some sources give that Benno Strauß joined Krupp's Physics department in 1899 and was the head of Krupp's chemical laboratory by 1904. A bit difficult to discern but it appears that Benno Strauß's research efforts during 1908 - 1912 were funded by Krupp but it required some expensive synthesis of ammonia at the BASF concern to produce the stainless & acid resistant alloy. Maybe Benno Strauß and assistant Eduard Mauer had a satellite office at the BASF facility until the required ammonia component was derived. But the effort was very expensive and Benno Strauß/Clemens Pasel butted heads with management/the funding leg of Krupp's umbrella.
