About Harald Quandt
Harald Friedrich Ludwig Quandt ([kvant]; 1 November 1921 – 22 September 1967) 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. == Early life == Harald Quandt was born in Charlottenburg, the son of industrialist Günther Quandt and Magdalena Behrend Ritschel, who had married in 1921. Although the couple divorced in 1929, they remained on friendly terms. Magda later married Joseph Goebbels at a property owned by Günther Quandt. Adolf Hitler was Goebbels's best man. Following his mother's marriage, Quandt remained with his father, who became a prominent business leader in Nazi Germany. Nevertheless, he regularly visited his mother, who had become "the First Lady of the Third Reich", and his stepfather, who headed the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda from 1933. Following 1934, he returned to his mother and lived with the Goebbels family until passing his school-leaving examination in 1940.
