The Effect Of The Depression On Homeless People

Similarly, the Depression provided an excellent opportunity and environment in which the Nazis could thrive. They mainly appealed to those who were the most vulnerable to the Depression, such as the middle-class businessmen and farmers, the elderly and the unemployed. The Nazis organised soup kitchens and provided shelter for the unemployed and homeless. Hitler who was head of the Nazi party promised every different group of people something else that would personally benefit them. The workers, for example were promised jobs and that he would help people to get them back into work. The employers were told that the Nazis would restore all the profits, which meant that the employed workers would have a salary again. The Nazis guaranteed to help the desperate and struggling farmers and higher their prices, and shopkeepers were given protection against competition so that they too had a chance of gaining an income again.
