Abstract

The present paper studies the relation of the economist Heinrich von Stackelberg (who played a crucial part in the development of economic science in Spain) with national socialism, whose party he had joined in 1931. The original sources employed —most of which, including his denazificaction file, have remained unpublished to this day— show that from 1936 onwards von Stackelberg progressively and outrightly distanced imself from the Hitler regime and the National Socialist Party. At the time of his arrival in Spain, von Stackelberg was actively collaborated in the resistance against Hitler, being also closely involved with those who planed and executed the attack against the Führer on the 20th of July of 1944 in the plot known as “Operation Valkyrie”.
