General of Infantry Georg Thomas (1890-1946) was Quartermaster-General and logistics chief of the World War II German Army, and the War Economy and Armaments office in the Armed Forces High Command. Thomas had additional responsibilities for Hermann Goering, the Plenipotentiary for the Four-Year Plan, as coordinator for economic policy on Soviet territory. He was also a member of the German Resistance and involved in the 20th of July Plot to kill Adolf Hitler.
In late 1941, he sent plans for economic exploitation of the conquered territories to Goering, who sent it to Hitler on 26 February 1942. Thomas, with Hitler's consent, was made Goering's coordinator for economic policy on Soviet territory. [1]
