Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht (22 January 1877 – 3 June 1970) was the Currency Commissioner and President of the Reichsbank under the Weimar Republic, and President of the Reichsbank between 1933 and 1939. Schacht was one of the primary drivers of Germany's policy of redevelopment, reindustrialization and rearmament. Schacht ended World War II in a concentration camp for his complicity in the 20 July 1944 plot against Hitler. His prior activities working for the Nazi government led to his trial at Nuremberg after the war, for "crimes against peace" (not war crimes or crimes against Humanity) but he was acquitted.

abstract
| - Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht (22 January 1877 – 3 June 1970) was the Currency Commissioner and President of the Reichsbank under the Weimar Republic, and President of the Reichsbank between 1933 and 1939. Schacht was one of the primary drivers of Germany's policy of redevelopment, reindustrialization and rearmament. Schacht ended World War II in a concentration camp for his complicity in the 20 July 1944 plot against Hitler. His prior activities working for the Nazi government led to his trial at Nuremberg after the war, for "crimes against peace" (not war crimes or crimes against Humanity) but he was acquitted. Schacht's parents originally decided on the name Horace Greeley Schacht, in honor of the American journalist Horace Greeley. However they yielded to the insistence of the Schacht family grandmother, who firmly believed the child's given name should be Danish.
