С 1931 году оказывал поддержку НСДАП, способствовал сближению А. Гитлера с крупными промышленниками и политиками, в частности, через «Гарцбургский фронт».
Schacht was said to be in contact with the German resistance to Nazism as early as 1934, though at that time he still believed the Nazi regime would follow his policies. By 1938, he was disillusioned, and was an active participant in the plans for a coup d'état against Hitler if he started a war against Czechoslovakia.[33] Goerdeler, his colleague in 1935-36, was the civilian leader of resistance to Hitler. Schacht talked frequently with Hans Gisevius, another resistance figure; when resistance organizer Theodor Strünck's house (a frequent meeting place) was bombed out, Schacht allowed Strünck and his wife to live in a villa he owned. However, Schacht had remained in the government and, after 1941, Schacht took no active part in any resistance.
Still, at Schacht's denazification trial (subsequent to his acquittal at the Nuremberg trials) it was declared by a judge that "None of the civilians in the resistance did more or could have done more than Schacht actually did."[34]
After the attempt on Hitler's life on 20 July 1944, Schacht was arrested on 23 July.[7] He was sent to Ravensbrück, then to Flossenbürg,[7] and finally to Dachau. In late April 1945 he and about 140 other prominent inmates of Dachau were transferred to Tyrol by the SS, which left them there. They were liberated by the Fifth U.S. Army on 5 May 1945 in Niederdorf, South Tyrol, Dolomites, Italy.[35]
Шахт был привлечён к суду Международного военного трибунала в Нюрнберге, однако 1 октября 1946 года был оправдан: точно так же были оправданы Ганс Фриче и Франц фон Папен. Немецкие военнопленные, содержавшиеся в советских лагерях МВД, направили письма, в которых настаивали на том, чтобы всех троих повесили[5].
