Max Amann

Max Amann (24 November 1891 – 30 March 1957) was a high-ranking member of the Nazi Party, a German politician, businessman and art collector, including of looted art. He was the first business manager of the Nazi Party and later became the head of Eher Verlag ('Eher Publishing'), the official Nazi Party publishing house. He was also the Reichsleiter for the press. After the war ended, Amann was arrested by U.S. military occupation authorities. A denazification court deemed him a Hauptschuldiger ('Major Offender'). Amann was sentenced to ten years in a labour camp and stripped of his property, pension rights, and virtually all of his fortune. Amann was released from custody in 1953, and died in poverty in Munich four years later.
