Inside Hitler's Killing Machine
Episode 3 - The Banker of The Third Reich

Director François Pomès

Hjalmar Schacht is a largely forgotten figure. And yet, Hitler's rise to power depended on him. Adapted from the novel The Devil's Banker by Jean-François Bouchard, this documentary paints the portrait of a fascinating character, at once intellectually brilliant and imbued with an icy cynicism, and who, paradoxically, was never a member of the Nazi party, despite being one of its pillars.
