Hjalmar Schacht. First he helped get Germany's economy back on track after the famous inflation caused by reparations imposed by the Treaty of Versailles, then he worked with the resistance against Hitler, then he was interned in a concentration camp. When he was freed by the Allies he was put on trial and then freed.
