Notice biographique
The copies of correspondence from Harold Fraser in Hamburg, provide an insight into the economic, social and political conditions of that city and of Germany in general covering the period of rampant inflation, record unemployment and the polarisation of political parties. Mention is made in the first letter of the strong presence in Germany of their competitor J. Henry Schroeder, another London- based merchant bank. The two companies happened to merge in 1962, now both have been subsumed under Citigroup, the European and American bank.
