Economic and social conditions began to improve.
Hitler's Government by September 1936
had reduced unemployment from 6,014,000 (January, 1933)
to less than 338,000 by 1936.
National income had increased from 41 billion marks to 56 billions.
German trade was prospering.
Deficits of the cities and provinces had almost disappeared.
Expenditure for armaments were minor.
Unemployment was eliminated mainly by:
1) Increased government spending o
public works; infrastructure, railways, roads, public-building projects.
2) Indirect support to private works projects.
3) A sharp reduction in taxation to create incentive.
4) Reduction in taxati
on and increased state contributions to make employment more attractive.
5) Public good workfare sche
mes, (non-competitive) with private and government schemes.
The effect was an injection of increased wages
into the national economy, increased consumer spending
which in itself led to job increases.
By 1936 there was a shortage of labour,
especially in the building and metallurgical trades.
TAXATION:
"The taxation of families, especially of those with numerous children,
has been noticeably decreased."
CIVIL LIBERTIES:
All workers (and their employers) were protected
by a 'Tribunal of Social Honour',
which laid down conditions of employment
that were superior to any comparable legislati
on in the world.
Except for reasons force majeure it was illegal
to dismiss an employee,
all of which including employers
had recourse to independent mediation by tribunal.
THE STATE:
"We have laid firm foundations for the new State:
we have sown seeds that have sunk deep.
We have won millions upon millions of men for the ideas
on which this State is based;
we have introduced them to the life of this State,
always in the conviction that it is not laws which protect a State;
it is the living will, the faith, the confidence,
and the courage of a people which are its true protection."
(Adolf Hitler)
"The national State divides its inhabitants into three classes:
State citizens,
State subjects,
and foreigners.
It must be held in greater honour to be a citizen
of this Reich even if only a crossing-sweeper,
than to be a king in a foreign State."
(Adolf
Hitler)
CLASS:
"We have not broken down classes in order to set new ones in their place;
we have broken down classes to make way for the German people as a whole.
Our education also trains m
en to respect intellectual achievement:
we bring one to respect the spade,
another to respect the compass or the pen.
All now are but German fellow-countrymen,
and it is their achievement which determines their value."
(Adolf Hitler)
"What is necessa
ry is to teach each class and profession
the importance of the others.
All together form one mighty body;
labourer, peasant, and professional man."
(Adolf Hitler)
LABOUR:
"All work which is necessary ennobles
him who performs it.
Only one thing is shameful -
to contribute nothing to the community."
(Adolf Hitler)
"Nothing falls into a man
9;s lap from heaven.
It is from labour that life grows."
(Adolf Hitler)
"Social honour recognises no distinction between
the employer and the employed.
All of them work for a
common purpose
and are entitled to equal honour and respect."
(Adolf Hitler)
SOCIAL WELFARE:
Was based on the concept of 'one for all and all for one.'
All German workers received a pension and insurance
in the event of sickness or disability.
Whilst some of these rights are taken for granted today,
it should be remembered that at the time,
such social protection was unheard of outside of Germany.
