*Hans Steinicke* ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Reimann ) 
(November 13, 1904 – February 5, 2005), better known by his pen-name *Günter 
Reimann* , was a German-born economist and writer. He was noted as founder and 
editor of International Reports , a New York-based weekly publication he 
created in 1947 and sold to the London Financial Times ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Times ) in 1983, and author of The 
Vampire Economy: Doing Business under Fascism (1939) about what he described as 
the onerous business policy of the Nazi Party ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Socialist_German_Workers_Party ) and its 
disastrous effects on the Nazi economy ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_economy ). Prior to World War II, Reimann 
was a member of the Communist Party of Germany ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_Germany ) and at the forefront 
of the underground resistance ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_resistance_to_Nazism ) to Adolf Hitler ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Hitler ) within Nazi Germany ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany ).

Reimann was born in Angermünde ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angerm%C3%BCnde 
) (near Berlin ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin ) ), German Empire ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Empire ) : the Steinickes were a bourgeois 
German-Jewish family. [1] ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Reimann#cite_note-1 ) Drawn to the 
left-wing intelligentsia at an early age in Berlin, Reimann associated and 
worked with Ernst Thälmann ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_Th%C3%A4lmann 
) , Anna Seghers ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Seghers ) and Walter 
Ulbricht ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Ulbricht ) at the Romanisches 
Café ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanisches_Caf%C3%A9 ). Still a teenager, 
Reimann assumed the position of economics editor for the communist newspaper, 
Die Rote Fahne ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_Rote_Fahne ) , taking on the 
pen-name of Günter Reimann. [2] ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Reimann#cite_note-guardian-2 )

After the Reichstag fire ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichstag_fire ) in 
February 1933, Reimann went underground to oppose the new National Socialist 
regime under the resistance movement of the German social democrats and 
communists. In 1934, the Gestapo ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestapo ) 
continued zeroing in on his location, finally raiding his house and arresting 
Hu Lanqi ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hu_Lanqi ) , who later became the 
first female general of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Revolutionary_Army ). Reimann fled to 
France and then London. [2] ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCnter_Reimann#cite_note-guardian-2 )

After arriving in London ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London ) , he wrote 
The Vampire Economy: Doing Business Under Fascism , published in 1939. In that 
treatise, Reimann documented how the oppressive rule of the Nazi regime crushed 
the autonomy of the private sector through severe regulations and the threat of 
confiscatory fines for petty offenses. As an economist, he later founded the 
"International Reports on Finance and Currencies" financial newsletter in 1947. 
He also authored Patents for Hitler in 1942.

After his migration to the United States ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States ) , he lived in New York City ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City ) , where he met Miriam Weber, a 
socialist activist, who he later married and fathered two children, before the 
two divorced. He then married Jutta Ruesch, a German citizen, and they 
subsequently had two children.

Reimann later moved to Manhasset ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhasset,_New_York ) , Long Island ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Island ) , New York ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_(state) ). In 2004, Reimann was awarded 
Germany's Officer's Cross of the Order of Merit ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesverdienstkreuz ) , the nation's highest 
civilian award. He died at the age of 100 on February 5, 2005. Reimann is 
survived by his wife Jutta, his four children, 2 grandchildren and 5 
great-grandchildren. One of his grandchildren is Melina Abdullah ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melina_Abdullah ) , co-founder of the Los Angeles 
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles ) chapter of Black Lives Matter ( 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Lives_Matter ). [3] (
