Hjalmar Schacht

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Schacht

Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht (22 January 1877 – 3 June 1970) was a German economist, banker, liberal politician, and co-founder in 1918 of the German Democratic Party. He served as the Currency Commissioner and President of the Reichsbank under the Weimar Republic. He was a fierce critic of his country's post-World War I reparation obligations.

He became a supporter of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, and served in Hitler's government as President of the Reichsbank (1933–1939) and Minister of Economics (August 1934 – November 1937). As such, Schacht played a key role in implementing the policies attributed to Hitler.

Since he had concerns about the policy of German re-armament and its effect upon the German economy, he clashed with Hitler and most notably with Goering, and was dismissed as President of the Reichsbank in January 1939. He remained as a minister without portfolio, and received the same salary, until he was fully dismissed from the government in January 1943. After the war, he was tried at Nuremberg but acquitted.

In 1953, he founded a private banking house in Düsseldorf. He also advised developing countries on economic development.
