    Biography
    Walther Funk (1890-1960) was Minister of Economics in the Hitler government. He also replaced Dr. Hjalmar Schacht as President of the Reichsbank in a move to bring the bank under control of the Nazi Party. Funk played an early role in driving German Jews from the economy and took part in the confiscation of valuables and financial assets of Holocaust victims. Brought to trial as a defendant in the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg, Funk was found guilty on three counts and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was released 1957 due to poor health.
