The Nazis And The German Economy - source based work.

4. Sources E and F are useful to an extent because it shows that they both have relevant information on life in 1930s. Neither sources was influenced by the Nazis. Source E comes from an extract from an illegal opposition origin newspaper. It shows a workingman describing how life was at the beginning of 1930s compared to 1938s. He talks about how he owned his own trade and work from the comfort of his home at the beginning of 1930s. Then he goes on to say that he works harder and longer hours of the day for fewer wage. This would have been very anti Nazi explaining the bias of the statement.   The source shows that workers were not better off under the Nazis dictatorship. On the other hand this is opinion rather than information showing an argumentative view and little is supported by hard evidence. Also the fact that the newspaper wanted to promote hostility towards the Nazis. Most information at that time was most likely to be propaganda, ether promoting the Nazis or the opposition parties like the newspaper in source E.

           Source F is not an opinion but fact which is supported due to the seemingly well-researched information. There a possibility of this information being bias, but it appear that the information was well researched hence it being fairly accurate. The tense the writer uses is as if the event has just occurred. This source is useful because it gives you the impression that Norman Thomas just wanted to tell the fact behind the unemployment development in Germany to the Americans and it also gives you specific examples. He talks about the truth behind unemployment. The Nazis consider Jews were not a citizen of Germany therefore was not counted as unemployed. There was also the fact that he mention was that women and men under 25 was not counted also. The women had to leave they jobs or were fired to stay at home. The men who were under 25 years old had to join the RAD the National Labour Service. The source show that the figures were fix and unfair. Hitler wanted to give the appearance that he was dealing with the problem of unemployment. The fix figures supported that Hitler ways was effectively dealing with unemployment.

Source E is an opinion of his job and source F is facts. Both show their own view of the Nazis figures is unlikely to be totally accurate.

5. Source A shows unemployment fell dramatically during the years for 1932 to 1938. On the other hand the graph in source A has many factors why it’s not reliable or accurate as it seems. This was because the figures in the graph do not represent the millions of Jews, women, soldiers and men who were under 25 years old were not counted as unemployed in the statistic. Men who were under 25 years old had to join the RAD (National Labour Service) schemes designed to reduce unemployment. The women had to leave they jobs or were sack to stay at home. They encourage them to become housewives as showed in source D since Hitler family value policy was enforced.  This meant a big drop in unemployment figures, considering what the Nazis thought were employ. This is mention in source F about the fix rating of unemployment. Therefore source A represent the fix rating of the unemployment which is shown in the graph. The graph show the impossible dramatic fall of unemployment.

In source E shows a workingman describing how life was. He talks about how he owned his own trade and work from the comfort of his home at the beginning of 1930s. Then he goes on to say that he works harder and longer hours of the day for fewer wage in bad condition, this is an example of one of the schemes that the Nazis used.

The entire factors taken into count contribute to the huge drop in unemployment to source A but on the other hand we now know that the graph is not accurate, as many German were not presented in the graph. In source D, E and F tell us that the graph is inaccurate.

6. After studding all the sources I can conclude that the main reason for the Nazi party’s was popularity was their economic success achieved while in power. Source B is a photograph of Hitler beginning the work on the first autobahn.  This shows that work was created by building autobahns. This was one of the step of bring up Germany from the depressant period and show that Hitler was making Germany better and greater then before. The motorway was one of the first motorways in Europe.                                                                                                             Source C shows the amount of money spent on weapons of Germany at the time of 1933 to 1939. Re-armament was an economic priority. It shows the percentage spent went up by seven times. This must have created more jobs in armaments. The job included was factories, mines, forests, transportation and many more jobs. This act was a great in the economic success to prove the status of Germany. Other scheme was device to deal with unemployment. The result of this was show in source A and however source A is not trust worthy. Hitter was improving the Germany economic. This was done by putting more people into work with stable income and less people didn’t rely on the government to survive. The downfall to this method was that they had to rely on their work performance. As for the men in the RAD weren’t giving a wedge but pocket money. They were still counted as employed with the fix results in source A.                                                                              the people in Germany saw the different in unemployment and some were happy to improve Germany economy and some were not. This meant longer and harder hour of work, which is source E describes. They also had worsted working conditions then before with trade.                                                   The Nazis furthermore tried to control women and their role, to make sure that they played a part in creating an Aryan society by producing the perfect Nazi generation (having babies). The idea is shown in source D regarding that they believed that a woman should work on developing a home base work. The Nazi policies for women were based on the 3 ‘k’ kinder, kiche, and kunche, are unlikely to have been popular with professional women. These downfalls were back up by the church traditional ways.                                                          The spirit of the people under Nazi rule was probably also improve with the new entertainment come out. Such as opera, festival, outing, marches and plans to ensure everyone in Germany could afford a car (the Volkswagen) for every family. These improvement made where commended in Source G, where David Lloyd George, x British prime minister in the Second World War. He thinks that Germany has made “great change” and “achieved a marvellous change in the spirit of the people and in their economic and social outlook”. The German did not let the BP see the dark side of this life. They were youth movement were designed to teach children that the western way was no good and his way was the only way by the age of six. Hitler was gaining the youth generation to turn them into the future world of pure Nazis.    With all my knowledge and the sources whilst the German  I have come to conclude that it was not only cause of the popularity of Hitler help wit the Germany economy but other factor as equal significance contributed to Hitler’s support before the second world war. Example that scheme of unemployment was an idea before Hitler became in power.                                                              The Nazis plan acted many different sorts of people of many reason. Some were for he filmy vale, sexism, the idea of the Aryan race and there hatred of the Jews.  

Under the Nazis dictatorship they improved economy but the manly forces was the propaganda and force on built Germany into all powerful and Aryan/Nazis committee. Hence the improve spirits of the nation are all important aspect that affected the Nazi popularity.
