What does this image have to do with the Nazi regime?

Hitler and the economy The Volkswagen car was introduced by the Nazis as a cheap luxury for German workers. The idea was that workers could pay weekly sums in order to hire out the vehicle. When they had paid enough it would be theirs.

Germany 1933 By January 1933, unemployment had reached 6,000,000. No one would loan Germany the Weimar Government couldn’t do anything to help the unemployed. Hitler was elected on a promise to give the German people ‘Bread & Jobs.’

Hitler’s economic aims. Autarky/Self Sufficiency Strengthen Germany’s military. Get people into jobs. Modernise.

Self-sufficiency In Hitler’s mind, Germany lost world war one because they had run out of imported goods. If another war was coming, he needed to ensure that Germany was producing everything she needed without needing to import from other countries. It was called “Autarky”.

The Four Year Plan To achieve this, Hitler introduced a Four Year Plan that he hoped would get the job done. Germany improved the production of natural materials such as coal and oil, and of artificial products such as rubber and textiles. However, Germany never became self-sufficient and still imported 1/3 of her goods when war broke out in 1939.

Labour The state-run trade union, The German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront - DAF), was the largest Nazi organization with a membership of 22 million by 1939. It was responsible for setting wages and working hours, organizing training, dealing with strikes and absenteeism and supervising working conditions. Kraft durch Freunde (KdF, Strength through Joy) provided opportunities for loyal workers to go on cheap holidays, participate in cultural visits or access sporting facilities.

Strength through Joy movement However, Hitler wanted happy workers so he organised his Volkswagen scheme. He also sorted out cheap holidays for workers to take once a year. Actually, though, few workers saved enough money for a car so it was generally unsuccessful.

How did Hitler put Germany back to work?
