[edit] Reichsbank

Schacht was Reichsbank president twice. The first in October 1923, the second in March 1930.

Sometimes you read he worked for Aristotle Onassis; sometimes you read it's vice-versa. Anyone know for sure about this connection? 142.177.24.36 07:48, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Mae Russell says: "Schacht guided Onassis' shipyards in rebuilding the German and Japanese war fleets"

[edit] Schacht

A schacht as a Dutch noun refers to a group of people within a student society.

I removed this part from the beginning since the article is not titled "schacht", nor was Hjalmar Schacht of Dutch origin or a member of a Dutch student society, nor is this the Dutch Wiktionary. --kudz75 01:19, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

The vandalism I reverted appears to have been in the 13:50, 3 Feb 2005 version. ??? When I reverted it is WAS in the page again! That is very weird. It must have been some squid cache thing... nick 21:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] LaRouche's views on Schacht

Schacht's economic policys have been attacked by Lyndon LaRouche as being along the lines of "Let us remove any obsticals thrown up by democratic republics which remain some how tied to the commonwelfare to ensure the stability of our industry". S.george

(1) That's completely incoherent and (2) who cares what LaRouche thinks about the matter? Jhobson1 (talk) 11:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Number of works

"Schacht wrote three books during his lifetime" -- http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hjalmar_Schacht lists eight.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.141.105.210 (talk • contribs)

They have given ISBN's also, so they are probably correct. However, this article may only be speaking of his works translated into English. Эйрон Кинни (t) 07:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Montagu Norman

Someone added a claim that mefo bills were supported by Montagu Norman, a Bank of England official. If true this should be in however I would very much like to see a source providing more detail. The Land 00:10, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Schacht and Morgan where Personal friends from the twenties till 1945 and before anything of this connection will be written in this pages, the world will end ore the apes in Gibratar will disappear. Johann with best wishes

[edit] Huh?

This sentence makes no sense: "He resigned as Minister of Economics and General Plenipotentiary in November 1937 at the request of the Minister of Economics, Göring, due to disagreements with Hitler and Göring over military spending, which he believed would cause inflation." It says that either Schacht requested his own resignation or else Göring was the economics minister. Jhobson1 (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Schacht v. Schact

I've run across two US sources (admittedly non-authoritative on this subject) that render the name "Schact." I'm assuming this page must have better information on that score--does it?

[Indeed, I was schact to learn that not all sources agreed--and what in the world is a "squid cache," anyway?]
