The book analyzes the Nuremberg Trials of Adolph's Hitler's top economic deputies Hjalmar Schacht and Walter Funk. The two advisors were indicted for committing crimes related to supporting the Hitler government and for planning for an aggressive war. Funk was also charged for crimes against humanity and for war crimes. The economic ministers complied with policies that would eliminate the Jews in Germany from economic life. Funk would also cooperate with Heinrich Himmler in confiscating property from concentration camp victims. He also worked on programs to use slave labor in Germany.
The analysis examines the indictments of Schacht and Funk and the efforts of American prosecutors like Robert Jackson to expose the crimes. The book analyzes the official record for the Trial of The Major War Criminals Before The International Military Tribunal that was published in Nuremberg, Germany in 1947. This primary document is maintained by the United States Library of Congress and it provided an account of the first hand testimony and documents associated with the trial. The writings of numerous other historians are included in the analysis. The book concluded with a poem that was written in Germany and published during 1931 about Hjalmar Schacht before Hitler came to power. It predicts an upcoming war and the doom of the German people. It also comments on how Hjalmar Schacht will survive the war.
