July 10, 1883 - Friedrich Flick
His story is one of industrial power placed in direct service of forced labor and war production — and then, after conviction at Nuremberg, of extraordinary recovery. Flick built and rebuilt an empire across two German states, ultimately dying among the wealthiest individuals in the world, with little public reckoning for what his factories had consumed in human terms.
