Hitler’s Germany Question 13
In the years 1933 to 1945, different Germans benefited in different ways from Nazi Rule. Throughout these years, the benefits the German workers received is hard to conclude due to fabricated Nazi figures and schemes, such as the Volkswagen scheme, along with realistic economic success, such as the Labour service Corps. Unemployed people benefited from these schemes, becoming employed, and so did Nazi part members, but many Nazi opponents such as political members and Jews, were definitely worse off under Nazi rule. However, it is fair to say in the war years of 1939 to 1945, the benefits of Nazi rule decreased for all Germans, Nazi, or otherwise. All figures shown by the Nazis in the years 1935 to 1939 show …show more content…
Jews, political opponents, and anybody who spoke badly of Nazis were made invisible. They did not exist as people, and therefore did not count as unemployed, causing the figures the Nazis outputted to be factually incorrect. These opponents were put in concentration camps, and had a major effect on Germany as a whole. These opponents were obviously worse off in Nazi Germany, imprisoned in concentration camps, but the effect of them disappearing scared many other Germans, who became constantly paranoid. This lack of freedom worsened due to the lack of trade unions, and the growing amount of informants, meaning many German workers and people did not object to any Nazi orders. The Strength through Joy and Beauty of Work schemes were also both mostly scams (and because of the growing paranoia, were not criticised at the time) with the Strength through Joy schemes being too expensive for most workers, and the Beauty of Work being resented by workers, who were forced to improve work facilities themselves. The Volkswagen scheme was also a swindle by the Nazis to gain more money; not a single worker received a care from the scheme. Also, while wages rose, the cost of living rose substantially during the 1930s, as well as the hours of work (increasing from 42.9 per week in 19933 to 47 in 1939). The Labour Service Corps, while giving 6 months of employment, gave little pay to those partaking, and forced military drill upon those part of it. All this meant Nazi Germany was a very paranoid society, who only benefited those high up in the Nazi party, while most others only appeared to benefit. In the war years of 1939 to 1945, the benefits of Nazi rule vastly decreased. Germans had no enthusiasm for war after their defeat in World War 1, and were only keen for the war during the first two years, where conquered luxuries were shipped back to Germany.
