 H-Net Review: Milton Goldin on Hitler's Banker: Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht
Hjalmar, born shortly after their return to Germany, was a surprisingly indifferent mathematics student.
The mature Schacht later explained that his extraordinary abilities as a banker (or swindler, in Hitler's view) stemmed from his understanding of psychology, grasp of economics, and common sense, none of which had much to do with mathematics.
Weitz's purpose is not to present Schacht in a new light or to correct inaccuracies in the published record; he wants to give general readers an overall understanding of who Schacht was and how he fit into the Third Reich.

 Schiller Institute—Felix Rohatyn is Modern Day Schacht
Just as Schacht had been guided by the Bank of England's Montagu Norman, Felix—who had himself fled Schacht's Nazis in Austria and ultimately arrived in the United States in 1942—was placed early on under the wing of André Meyer, the head of the Synarchists' Lazard Frères banking house.
The London, Paris and New York branches of Lazard had been at the center of the apparatus of Norman, Schacht, and Benjamin Strong (Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve Bank), that oversaw the bankrolling of Hitler and the Nazi Party.
The most important city in the world had its sovereignty stolen by the bankers, in much the same way Schacht had demanded that German sovereignty be ceded to the bankers to solve its fiscal crisis.
