Harald Quandt

Harald Friedrich Ludwig Quandt was a German industrialist, the son of Günther Quandt and Magda Behrend Ritschel. His parents divorced, and his mother was later married to Joseph Goebbels, the chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945. After World War II, Quandt and his older half-brother Herbert Quandt ran the industrial empire left to them by their father, owning a stake mainly in Germany's luxury car manufacturer BMW and the electric battery producer VARTA, which emerged from Accumulatoren-Fabrik AFA, which still belongs to the family.
