Adolf Hitler Spende: a fund collected from German industry, banking, and agriculture, the largest private source of funds for the NSDAP, set up by Gustav Krupp in 1933
The man who had headed the company until 1943, Gustav Krupp, the father of the first named defendant, was not indicted because of incapacity to stand trial (due to illness).
He had also been indicted in the Trial of the Major War Criminals (IMT), but the Tribunal granted an application by his lawyer for postponement of the proceedings.
