Hitler's banker - Paperback

by Jean-François Bouchard (Author)

Adolf Hitler owes his accession to power to him. Thanks to him, the Wehrmacht became the most powerful army in the world. He worked in the service of Nazism and the odious anti-Jewish persecutions. Then this brilliant financier conspired to overthrow Hitler. Thrown into an extermination camp, he miraculously survives. Before the Nuremberg tribunal that judges war criminals, the Soviets demand his head. Acquitted, he became after the war the most listened to advisor of the great non-aligned countries. An extraordinary career that he ended in his bed at the age of 93.

Hjalmar Schacht, the most brilliant economist of the 20th century, also saved Germany from ruin. Not once, but three times. Hyperinflation, mountains of debt strangling the country, unemployment affecting seven million Germans: this demiurge turned all situations around. Today, our modern leaders are powerless to influence the destiny of their nations and watch as their economies collapse. May they be inspired by this exceptional man of unyielding determination: for nothing was insurmountable for the devil's banker.
