World War II On May 1, 1945, Schwerin von Krosigk was appointed Chancellor of Germany (Reichskanzler) of the Acting Government by President (Reichspräsident) Karl Dönitz. The rapidly advancing Allied forces limited the jurisdiction of the new German government to an area around Flensburg near the Danish border, where Dönitz's headquarters were located, along with Mürwik. Accordingly this administration was referred to as the Flensburg government. Dönitz and Schwerin von Krosigk attempted to negotiate an armistice with the Western allies while continuing to resist the Soviet Army. But their government was not recognised by the Allies and was dissolved when its members were captured by British forces on May 23, 1945, at Flensburg.

After World War II In later years Schwerin von Krosigk wrote several books on economic policy, as well as two versions of his memoirs. He was the first to refer to an "Iron Curtain" coming down across Europe, a phrase which he had picked up from an article by Joseph Goebbels ('Das Jahr 2000,' Das Reich, February 25, 1945, pp. 1-2) and was later used by Winston Churchill in a speech that made the phrase famous.
