HJALMAR SCHACHT RARE SIGNATURE OF THE THIRD REICH
(1877 – 1970) German financier and banker who engineered the rearmament of Germany. Broke with Hitler and joined the resistance when Germany went to war. Acquitted at Nuremberg. T.L.S. on his official letterhead as president of the Reichsbank, 1p. 8vo., Berlin, Aug. 7, 1931 to jurist Th. Abitz-Schultze. Schacht had been invited to become an honorary member of the charitable organization Raabe Stiftung but declines as he avoids involvement in any public matters. Very good.
