Walter Bertsch

Walter Bertsch was a German SS and Nazi Party member, who served as Minister of Economy and Labour in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Along with Bernhard Adolf he was the most powerful manager of the Protectorate economy. Bertsch favored Germanization of the economy, but not at the expense of production especially in the arms industry. As a result some Czech businessmen had the opportunity to profit, even from Aryanization.
