At a dinner when I [Hjalmar Schacht] was sitting next to Walther Funk, the orchestra played a melody by Franz Lehár, Funk remarked: "Ah! Lehár – the Fuhrer is particularly fond of his music." I replied, jokingly, "It's a pity that Lehár is married to a Jewess", to which Funk immediately responded, "That's something the Fuhrer must not know on any account!". –Hjalmar Schacht, My First Seventy-Six Years, Allan Wingate, London, (1955), s. 340-341.
