For Dewitt super groups $G$ modeled via an underlying finitely generated Grassmann algebra it is well known that when there exists a body group
$BG$ compatible with the group operation on
$G$, then, generically, the kernel
$K$ of the body homomorphism is nilpotent. This is not true when the underlying Grassmann algebra is infinitely generated. We show that it is quasi-nilpotent in the sense that as a Banach Lie group its Lie algebra
$\kappa$ has the property that for each
$a\,\in \,\kappa ,\,\text{a}{{\text{d}}_{a}}$ has a zero spectrum. We also show that the exponential mapping from
$\kappa$ to
$K$ is surjective and that
$K$ is a quotient manifold of the Banach space
$\kappa$ via a lattice in
$\kappa$.
