Did all Germans benefit under Nazi rule?
Transfer-Encoding: chunked Some historians believe that all Germans benefited under the Nazi rule as they received multiple leisure activities, funded by the Nazi state. The Nazis did this though the Strength through Joy organisation. The Strength through Joy (KdF) was a leisure organisation which gave workers cheap theatre tickets, cut-price cruises on the latest luxury liners and many other cheap activities, once available to the higher classes, now available to the working class. This was done to relieve the anger mounted from the abolishment of the trade union. Run by Dr Robert Ley, the Strength through Joy removed many social barriers from the wealthy and the impoverished as before the rich could afford the high prices of holidays which the poor could not. The Strength through Joy resulted in many to benefit from the Nazi’s as it removed many social barriers between the high and low classes and also meant the working class could afford high priced expenses which they could not afford before. Some historians also believe that all Germans benefited under the Nazi rule as Hitler increased employment. One way he increased employment is through the construction of the 70000 km autobahn, hospitals and many more buildings which created work for 80,000 men. Between 1933 and 1939, unemployment plummeted from 6 million in 1993 to 100,000 in 1939. This significant drop in
German people benefited from the Nazi rule. Do you agree?
Shafaq Yaqoob “German people benefited from the Nazi rule.” Do you agree? To what extent did German people benefit from the Nazi rule 1933-1939? When in power, the Nazis were determined to create a Volksgeminschaft in Germany, in which everyone would benefit from Nazi rule, but in reality that was not the case. Even the Nazi propaganda led people believe that the country was benefiting enormously from the Nazi rule. When the Nazis came in power, they did step up a number of polices that would seem attractive to people and to some extent the German public did benefit from their rule. Furthermore, many of the social groups lost many of their right, while others like Jews and Communist were not considered a part of the Volksgeminschaft and were aggressively discriminated against. Perhaps we can say that the group the benefited the most were the industrialists and the army. The industrialists and the army were the groups that benefited from the Nazi policies. When the Nazis came in power, all trade unions were disbanded during the Gleichschaltung; this meant that the big business owners did not have worry about workers going on strike. The massive rearmament plane that was introduced to prepare for war allowed different industries in Germany to flourish as there was massive production of munitions, chemicals and uniforms. Companies like I G Farben and the chemical giant
DID THE GERMAN PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM NAZI RULE IN THE 1930s?
DID THE GERMAN PEOPLE BENEFIT FROM NAZI RULE IN THE 1930's? The Nazi's gave hope to many of the German people however; there were still a certain amount that did suffer from the Nazi rule. There are different views from the people of Germany about the Nazi rule in the 1930's, in which they all depended on the type of person you were. There was a vast majority of the German people who benefited from the Nazi rule. For example, the economic problems, which had affected the nation from 1929 to 1932, had ended with the help of Dr Schacht, the Minister of the Economy. The Nazis reduced unemployment by beginning to offer more jobs to the German people by setting up the National Labour Service, which provided jobs for young men between 18 and 25. Some of these jobs included planting forests and digging ditches. These schemes were then extended to ambitious public works programmes organised by the German Labour Front. In addition, new motorways (autobahns) were built along with hospitals, schools, sports stadiums and other public buildings. These public places created thousands of jobs. Hitler and the Nazis also brought about rearmament, and began to rearm Germany. An armaments industry grew to make weapons and equipment needed. Conscription was then introduced which benefited the Germans greatly as it forced them to go and join the army. These employed thousands of men as well as
Did Nazi rule in Germany result in a social revolution.
Holly Reading DID NAZI RULE OF GERMANY RESULT IN A SOCIAL REVOLUTION? B. In order to respond to this question, we first have to consider a number of factors. The Nazis targeted specific groups to impose their ideas on, with varying levels of success. They succeeded in the areas of anti-Semitism, eugenics and workers. They succeeded to a lesser extent with churches, youth groups and education. Least successful for them were women. A social revolution for the Nazis was a 'Volksgemeinschaft', literally a 'people's community'. Only people of pure German blood were allowed to be a part of this community as the Nazis wanted to breed a pure Aryan race, which excluded certain groups of people e.g. Jews, mentally ill, etc. From 1920 when the 25 Point Programme was outlined, point 4 stated the Nazi ideal of society 'none but those of German blood may be members of the Nation' (Hite & Hinton, 2000, p52). Members of this nation would all be genetically healthy and committed to Nazi regimes. They wanted to achieve 'Gleichschaltung', coordination, to rid the nation of all non-Nazi groups and coordinate them into one pure Nazi one. Different Historians have different views as to whether or not a social revolution was actually achieved. David Schoenbaum author of 'Hitler's Social Revolution' (1960) and Ralf Dahrendorff both say that yes, the Nazis did achieve a social revolution.
Did The German People Benefit From Nazi Rule In The Period 1933-39?
Did The German People Benefit From Nazi Rule In The Period 1933-39? Hitler and the Nazis came to power in January 1933. Their policies turned Germany into a Nazi police state between 1933-39. Many Germans benefited from Nazi rule but at a heavy price. In addition different people were affected in different ways - for some German, for example the Jews, life became intolerable. When Germany came to power in 1933, Germany was still in the economic depression, which had begun in 1929. It was Nazi promises to end the Depression that won them so much support. Hitler was now expected to put these promises into practice. The control of economic policy was the responsibility of Dr. Schacht, who was the Minister of Economy form 1934 to 1937. His "New Plan" for Germany had clear aims: to reduce unemployment, to build up the armaments industry and make Germany self-sufficient. In 1933 five million Germans were still unemployed and it was essential that the Nazis find them jobs. The National Labour Service was immediately set up, for young men aged between 18 and 25 years. The jobs included digging ditches and planting forests and they had to wear uniforms and live in camps. Instead of wages they were given pocket money. These schemes were then extended to ambitious public works
How did the Nazi's rule affect young people in Nazi Germany?
How did the Nazi's rule affect young people in Nazi Germany? Education was an area where policies towards women were applied. The school curriculum was based around the idea that not many of them would go on to university. School staff was told to teach with that thought in mind so that they wouldn't teach them anything unnecessary, only things they would need to know in a German home. Crafts and skills were encouraged the most because it was what was needed in the role of a German woman. They knew that women were needed for some intellectual jobs and so needed to be educated so that they could be nurses and teachers but only certain girls would need to know this and it wasn't relevant to the majority of girls. This is a timetable of a standard secondary school girl. It shows how limiting their education was. German women were only taught things that they "needed". There is a lot of racial studies and ideology in this timetable and it shows hoe the Nazi's used schools as a major source to put ideas of Nazi racial theories into their minds. The girls learnt about their country every morning to give them a head start to the day ahead of them. They were not taught mathematics; the only maths they learnt was for measurements in cooking class. They were taught about Nazi ideas secretly in German class, History class and Race studies. The girls were being taught about how bad
Did The German people benefit from the Nazi rule in the period 1933-1939?
Did The German people benefit from the Nazi rule in the period 1933-1939? In this essay I will be answering the question "Did The German people benefit from the Nazi rule in the period 1933-1939?" Personally I do not believe that the citizens of Germany did benefit from the Hitler rule. I will now explain why I think that. In the beginning of Hitler's rule, he had three main aims, they were a) Increase employment b) Build up armaments (army) c) Make Germany self-sufficient, and also "unofficially" felt the need to control most of the Germans leisure. The success of this was positive, and they began to sort out the general economy of Germany, which then began to strengthen the public's respect for the Nazi Party. Firstly, their top aim was to increase the employment of the various citizens. In 1933 five million Germans were still out of work. It was vital that the Nazi's find them jobs. National Labour Service was immediately set up. This was for young men between 18 and 25 years. They did various jobs, such as digging ditches & planting forests. They were given pocket money rather than wages. These schemes were then extended to ambitious public workers, programs organized by the German Labour Front. New motorways were built, as well as hospitals, schools, sport stadiums and other public buildings, which created jobs. Secondly, they felt the need to "control
How did the Nazi's rule affect women in Nazi Germany?
How did the Nazi's rule affect women in Nazi Germany? It has been told that before the 20th century the lives of German women were to e lived around the three K's, kinder (children'), kirche (church), and kuche (kitchen).This meant that women did not have a role in politics, social and economical life. Their life was at home. However this changed during the first 30 years of the 20th century. Due to the industry growing and the war effort of 1914-1918 meant that most women had to go to work in factories and offices because the men were not there and work still needed to be done. The high number in germen men killed left a post war gap. It has been told that 2million women who might have married were forced to remain single due to the circumstances left behind by the war. Most of these women took up jobs instead and made their lives around work. Attitudes in Germany had changed. German women became much more independent and were allowed to think differently. The three K's were no longer lived around. This however didn't fit into what the Nazi's were thinking. Ever since the Nazi's started in the 1920's, the Nazi's had barred women from membership. Women in their eyes were to be seen in the background as a shadow, they were to be known for their relationships to men, they didn't matter. Nazism was a very strong male movement physically and mentally. The Nazi's emphasised on
Most German people benefitted from Nazi rule 1933-39 Do you agree? Explain you answer.
Eloise Sear 11P Hitler's Germany 1929-39 b) 'Most German people benefitted from Nazi rule 1933-39" Do you agree? Explain you answer. (12 marks) Between 1933 and 1939, it is clear that whilst some people benefitted from Nazi rule, others did not. However, most German people accepted Nazi rule due to the benefits it did bring. One group of people that did benefit were the unemployed. Hitler reduced unemployment from 6 million in 1933 to just 300,000 in 1939 by starting huge public work schemes including planting forests, and building hospitals and schools. The construction of the autobahns created work for 80,000 men. A further fall in unemployment came when Hitler brought about rearmament and introduced conscription. Although the newly employed were earning little, at least they were receiving money. To people who had been unemployed and starving, 'work and bread' was something amazing. Also, the schemes meant that new facilities were being constructed in Germany benefitting the German people further. However, it did come at a cost. To achieve this, many Jews and women were sacked and replaced with non-Jewish men. People who were already working also benefitted. Workers were allowed to go on holidays for the first time. Hitler's 'joy through work' scheme allowed people to have free trips to the German coast and go to place like Norway. The scheme
Did the Czech experience under Nazi rule amount to a 'failure of national resistance'?
Did the Czech experience under Nazi rule amount to a 'failure of national resistance'? The Czech response to the extension of German power under Hitler was, to say the least, unusual. Having been somewhat let down by the West at Munich, the Czechs seemed to meekly accept the consequences of the agreement, and then were seen to acquiesce to their historic enemies by allowing their country to be brought into the German orbit as a Reich protectorate. The nominally autonomous status of the Czech lands did not seem to equate to a sense of national independence from Germany, and, aside from occasional flashes of the more spectacular forms of resistance, the Czechs seemed to have accustomed themselves to life under Nazi domination. Vojtech Mastny has suggested that this amounted to a 'failure of national resistance', but there are a number of ways of perceiving this 'failure'. Was the lack of success a result of the efforts of the Czech resistance being frustrated either by the efforts of the Germans or by poor implementation, or was it, more seriously, simply down to the unwillingness of the Czechs to fight back against their oppressors? `'Resistance' is not necessarily an unambiguous word. 'Resistance to the Nazis' was a cause which motivated people across occupied Europe, but, while it certainly has meaning, it is a broad term open to a certain amount of interpretation. What
