A non-partisan conservative, he was appointed Minister of Finance by Franz von Papen in 1932, and continued in that office throughout the period of Nazi Rule. Krosigk was appointed Chancellor of Germany by [[Karl D�nitz]] in May 1945, after the suicide of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels, and presided over the surrender to the Allies.
