General
This is a bound volume of supplemental material gathered for the defense against Dr. Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht, President of the Reichsbank under the Weimar Republic until he was dismissed by Hitler in 1939. Schacht was indicted for conspiracy and crimes against peace and tried under the principal IMT-led Nuremberg trials and later acquitted. It is not immediately clear why this volume appears among Gantt’s papers.
