To what degree did regional banks have the freedom to pursue their tradition-laden corporate culture and how great was the influence of the ideology and practices of National Socialism? How adaptive or resistant were they to the demands of the Nazi regime? How did they behave toward Jewish members of the governing boards and Jewish customers? What role did they play in the Aryanization of Jewish-owned property?
