Discuss the affect of the Nazi rule on the German people?
Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor in 1933, that same year the ‘Enabling Act’ was passed and Germany transformed from a Democracy into a Dictatorship. Hitler had three main plans in his vision of Germany. Firstly he was to rebuild Germany’s economy, secondly he was to make Germany a powerful nation again and thirdly he was to create a ‘pure German’ society by getting rid of racial minority groups, especially Jews. When the Nazi party came to power in 1933, Germany was changed forever. These three main aims dramatically impacted the German people in many ways; they lost their right to freedom of speech, were forced to live as Hitler ordered and they were forced to agree with the Nazi policies, the consequence of not doing so was death. During 1933 and 1945 Hitler and his Nazi Party tried to re-build Germany by enforcing policies on issues such as unemployment, youth, Untermensch, women and the destruction of the opposition. Overall these policies had a positive affect on Germany; however there were many negative effects that contributed to the downfall of Germany, Hitler and the Nazi Party in 1945.
Hitler deemed employment an important factor in re-building Germany. When Hitler became chancellor in 1933, six million Germans were unemployed and in 1939 three-hundred thousand were left unemployed. The reason for this huge decrease was Hitler’s setting up of The National Labour Service, which was an organisation that gave men jobs to complete projects. In addition many men gained jobs through the rearmament of Germany. The pay was poor, however the men were given free meals which as a result made them feel proud as they were helping Germany re-build through their projects. The re-armament in the army helped it grow from 100,000 men in 1933 to 1,400,00 men in 1939, which meant more Germans were unemployed when the war came. Furthermore, Hitler set up industries to make Germany self sufficient. Hitler
