Do you happen to know their names or did your source lack any names?
Sir Montagu Norman who had - unmentioned on the page - a severe case of bipolar disorder and could at any one time snap and leave without warning, in one case leaving for South Africa without telling anyone or even so much of a goodbye leaving his underlings to steer the bank of England as if he were there. He also obsessed with travelling incognito even when he didn't need to. He also went with his mother to Switzerland regularly to be treated by Émile Coué via positive reinforcement. But the French doctor died and Montagu propped up his wild existence in spiritualism and magic which he applied as a reason to his self-reported ability to walk through walls.
Hjalmar Schacht was the German there and had taken up the Reichsbank at a transitional period. The German Bank was getting ready to launch a new currency to replace the severely failing Deutschmark, t he Rentenmark in order to control inflation. However his predecessor died before it could be implemented and Schact came to power at the right moment to receive all the credit for it.
He would also become a Hitler-heiling Nazi and later go on trail at Nuremberg.
And then there's Strong who considered the Federal Reserve system as eleven-banks too many and the only one that needed to exist was New York, which being in the most prosperous city in the nation and owning the most gold out of the US gold reserve was not so much an outpost of the federal reserve system but the defacto commanding head of it. His suggestion to cut rates to encourage more borrowing which caused the stock market to bubble violently leading to the later crash was objected by well over half the rest of the system but they got veto'd by Strong's influence.
I can't remember who the French guy was. But Bill Bryson of One Summer even flat-out admits he was so new and unknown he was of no consequence.
