entitled “The Men around Hitler” [Die-Maenner um Hitler]
devotes a chapter to Funk (pp. 92-96) under the heading
"Walther Funk--the Adviser on Economic Policy". [Walther
Funk Wirtschaftspolitischer Berater]. It is stated on page
92 of this book:

"Walther Funk, today the personal adviser of Hitler on
Economic Policy, the man, foremost, who establishes personal
contacts between the Fuehrer of the NSDAP and the economic
leaders in the Reich".

(2)  In the German “Who’s Who” [Wer Ist's] published in
  1935, the chapter on Defendant Funk (at p. 463) contains the
  following statement:

"Since 1931, Economic Adviser to Fuehrer of NSDAP".

this book; Munich, 15 June 1934".

Moreover, the book’s preface, which was signed by the
publisher and the editors, states (at p. 12):

which we set ourselves if we would not have gone about the
publication of the book by co-operating with the competent
official authorities".

Central Publishing House of the Nazi Party, the following
statement appears (at p. 80):

"The Fuehrer had made up his mind already, immediately after
Funk’s connection with the Boersen Zeitung on 31 December
1930 was severed, he appointed him a member of the Reich
leadership of the party and chose him as his personal
economic adviser. This was proof of his greatest
confidence.”
