(1) Walter Funk
US Prosecutor Thomas Dodd cross examined Walter Funk, the Minister of Economics, also known as the “Banker of Gold Teeth” for his role in managing Nazi plunder. In
Letters from Nuremberg, Christopher Dodd recounts an exchange during interrogations between Thomas Dodd and Funk.
“
Funk: Business with the SS? I have never done that.
Dodd: Yes, sir. Business with the SS. Are you sure about that? I ask you again, sir. When did you start doing business with the SS?”
Funk admitted that he had learned of SS deposits but assumed they were routine. He said he was aware that SS had taken gold watches off concentration camp prisoners and that all Germans were ordered to turn in their gold coins. This, he argued, would have been the essence of what was brought into the vaults.
