Which Nazi economic policies made Germans happy? • Held huge national events like the Berlin Olympics 1936 • Gave everybody a job and wage • A huge public works programme – building houses, hospitals and schools • Created the autobahn (motorway) creating 80,000 jobs • Rearmed Germany – built up the army, built tanks, aeroplanes (Luftwaffe) etc

  7. What did the Nazis do that made Germans happy? • The streets were safe and there was almost no crime • Youth organisations provided activities, uniforms and free trips

  8. The German Labour Front (DAF) • This organisation controlled all work in Germany and put men into work (compulsory) • Workers had a wage and job security • They had long hours but regular breaks • But, Trade Unions were banned • In 1933 there were over 6million unemployed • By 1939 unemployment was 0% • Many Germans were thankful for wages and job security after the Weimar years

KDF: Strength Through Joy • The Most popular Nazi organisation • Provided people with free leisure activities as a rewards for their hard work • Free concert tickets, day trips, holidays • By 1938, 10million had gone on a KDF holiday • Two cruise liners built to take people on KDF holidays • It was the first time many German people had ever had such luxuries

  12. Prora was part of a KdF scheme, a holiday camp at a German beach resort BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Holiday camp with a Nazi past

  13. The Peoples’ Car • Workers were encouraged to buy savings stamps which they would collect and exchange for a Volkswagen Beetle • Again, a car was an amazing luxury to Germans after the misery of Weimar years

  14. Women • Women were expected to enjoy the ‘Three Ks’ – Children, Church and Kitchen • Women had to leave their jobs but could work for the Nazi Woman’s League (voluntarily) or as a Hitler Youth Leader • Women were encouraged to have as many children as possible and win a Mother’s cross

  19. Full employment Autarky German scientists tried to make oil from coal and rubber & petrol substitutes but were unsuccessful Germany were never completely self sufficient and relied on foreign imports • All men made to join the army were not counted as unemployed, reducing unemployment figure • Many Jews sacked from jobs – non Jews given their jobs • Many women sacked and jobs given to men • Nazis stopped paying Versailles reparations – more money to invest in Germany • This made their unemployment rate look better than it was
