This was in a Costco magazine. The family used ""savings"" to start this business and then later got a military contract with the US. I wonder where that savings came from? Perhaps more family lore?

Hans was an exceedingly common name in that time. I personally knew two people named Hans who were born in that period and I considering I was born in the 90s, I don’t exactly know that many people from that time. And Bonatz doesn’t seem to be an all too uncommon name either, considering there is six people in the German Wikipedia with that last name, none of them being Hans Bonatz or being related.

They fled "post war nazi Germany" to south Africa. I'm sure that Hans is very common name but the reasonable doubt you are presenting does not betray the title of this post and is absolutely suspicious.
