'''Max Amann''' (24 November 1891 – 30 March 1957) was a high-ranking member of the [[Nazi Party]], a German politician, businessman and art collector, including of [[Nazi plunder|looted art]]. He was the first business manager of the Nazi Party and later became the head of {{lang|de|Eher Verlag}} (Eher Publishing), the official Nazi Party publishing house. He was also the ''[[Reichsleiter]]'' for the press. After the war ended, Amann was arrested by U.S. military occupation authorities. A denazification court deemed him a {{lang|de|Hauptschuldiger}} (Major Offender). Amann was sentenced to ten years in a labour camp and stripped of his property, pension rights, and virtually all of his fortune.

Amann was released from custody in 1953, and died in poverty in [[Munich]] four years later.
