| | 11/17/97 THE MONEYMAN BEHIND THE NAZIS |

 | | But Weitz, the well-known men's fashion designer and author of such books as Hitler's Diplomat, a biography of Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop, does tell a fascinating tale of the interplay of ambition, pride, and politics that prevented one powerful man from opposing Hitler until it was too late. |
 | | He died in Munich in 1970, at 93, having spent his old age building a new life out of the rubble of the old one. |
