Alfred Hugenberg
Alfred Ernst Christian Alexander Hugenberg was an influential German businessman and politician. A leading figure in nationalist politics in Germany for the first few decades of the twentieth century, he became the countrys leading media proprietor during the interwar period. As leader of the German National Peoples Party he was instrumental in helping Adolf Hitler become Chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. Those plans backfired, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines, where he served as a guest member of the Reichstag until 1945, wielding no political influence.
