It should be good. Economy: After the development of two four-year plans, Nazi Germany's economy basically recovered: in 1933, the gross national product (calculated at 1928 prices) was approximately 73.7 billion Reichsmarks. Calculated at constant prices, Germany's gross national product in 1938 reached 126.4 billion Reichsmarks. However, Nazi Germany's average annual economic growth of 2.6% from 1913 to 1938 was lower than the average of 2.9% from 1870 to 1913, and much lower than the 7.6% from 1950 to 1960 or the 6.2% from 1950 to 1970. Therefore, the economy of Nazi Germany can only be called recovery.

Agriculture

In the agricultural field, in 1932 before the Nazi Party came to power, the total output value of German agriculture, forestry, and fishery was 8.713 billion gold marks. In the first year of Nazi rule, the total output value increased to 8.713 billion gold marks. 10.29 billion, 9.553 billion in 1934, 9.206 billion in 1935, jumped to 10.598 billion in 1936, dropped to 9.515 billion in 1937, and reached 10.259 billion in 1938. The food self-sufficiency rate increased from 75% in 1932 to 80% in 1933-1934 and 83% in 1938-1939. In 1928, 68% of the food calories consumed were supplied "from ourselves", in 1932 it accounted for 75%, and in 1936 it accounted for 81%. From 1937 to 1938, 89% of Germany's grain, 90% of dairy products, 95% of meat, 74% of fish consumption, and 79% of egg consumption were produced domestically.

Industry

In the industrial field of the park, in 1936, German industrial production returned to the level of 1929; from 1937 to 1938, it continued to rise. The development speed of German industry is beyond the reach of the United States, Britain, France and other countries. According to data from British scholar Toynbee, Germany accounted for 14.3% of the world's manufacturing output in 1938, exceeding the combined production of France and the United Kingdom. By 1938, Germany's steel output reached 23.3 million tons, ranking first in Europe. By 1939, Germany's aluminum production was 199,000 tons, ranking first in the capitalist world. Germany controls 2/3 of the capitalist world's pigment production and 90% of its pigment output. In the 1930s, Germany controlled 70% of the world's potassium exports. Germany has the largest number of radios per capita in the world.

From 1933 to 1939, Germany's military production increased sevenfold. Taking military aircraft production as an example, the output in 1934 was 840 aircraft, while in 1939 it reached 4,733 aircraft. A large number of airports, defense highways and fortification projects in Germany have been put into operation. These provided important conditions for Hitler's army to achieve successive victories in the early stages of the war.

Foreign Trade

Germany has increasingly established its own economic advantages in Central and Southeast Europe through the implementation of the "allocation and liquidation system". In 1938, Germany's proportion in the import trade of Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and Greece reached 30%, 35%, 33%, 48% and 29% respectively. From 1933 to 1938, Germany increased its exports to Latin American countries such as Brazil, Chile, Mexico and Peru through barter trade, quota systems and other means. By 1939, Germany accounted for 1/4 of the export share of the above-mentioned Latin American countries. Although Germany's proportion of these countries' imports is still lower than that of the United States, its export growth rate is significantly higher than that of the United States.

Germany’s output products are mainly industrial finished products, while its input products are mainly raw materials and food. In 1937, German industrial finished products accounted for 82% of total output (73% in 1929), while raw materials and semi-finished products accounted for only 16.5%. Among the finished products exported from Germany, the most important ones are machinery and equipment, optical instruments and precision mechanical equipment. Chemical industrial products are an important part of Germany's output, once ranking first in the world. Such products account for 12 to 13% of Germany's total output. The raw materials exported by Germany are mainly coal and coke, and the semi-finished products exported are mainly ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals.

Germany’s foreign investment in 1938 was only $676 million. If patents, hidden capital, and other assets are included, Germany's foreign capital at the end of World War II was approximately $6.2 billion. Germany also invests heavily in Asian countries (China, Japan, Iran, etc.). In 1937, German investment in China reached US$137 million.

Finance

German foreign debt dropped from 20 billion marks in 1932 to 9 billion marks in 1938, bank interest rates dropped from 6% to 3%, and national income increased from 43 billion marks to 80 billion marks.

In the field of employment, two years after Hitler came to power, the number of unemployed people in Germany dropped from 6 million to 4 million, and by 1936, full employment was basically achieved. Taking September 30 as the annual statistical deadline, Germany's unemployment rate was 20% in 1933; 20.5% in 1934; 9.6% in 1935; 5.7% in 1936; 2.5% in 1937; and only 0.95 in 1938. %.

The number of unemployed people in Germany was 5.5 million in 1933, 2 million in 1935, less than 1 million in 1937, and only tens of thousands in 1939. Unemployment was basically eliminated, and a labor shortage emerged.

Other fields From 1933 to 1939, Germany's railway operating mileage increased from 58,185 kilometers to 61,940 kilometers; a four-lane highway system called the "autobahn" was built, and the highway wound in the center of Germany. For 2,000 miles, the driver can travel in a straight line for hours at an astonishing speed of 50 miles per hour. This can be said to be the forerunner of modern highways. Ordinary Germans can enjoy the convenience of the highway system as long as they have a car, and Hitler promised to provide every working-class family with a car. A healthy lifestyle includes sports, military parades, torch processions, and even the noble event of the Olympic Games.

Commercial Bank deposits increased from 6.953 billion marks in 1933 to 8.298 billion marks in 1938; government revenue and major taxes increased from 6.850 billion marks in 1933 to 23.575 billion marks in 1938; and the price index If 1913 is taken as 100, from 1933 to 1939 it only changed from 68 to 78. The level of urbanization has also improved. Germany's urban population increased from 67.2% to 69.9% of the total population from 1933 to 1939. It is estimated that more than 1 million German farmers moved to cities from 1933 to 1939. What particularly fully demonstrated Germany's achievements was the successful hosting of the 11th Olympic Games in Berlin. Hitler announced the opening of the Olympic Games in the magnificent Berlin Olympic Stadium costing 77 million marks with a kingly style. At this moment, Berlin became the "capital of the world."

8 Society

Nazi Germany (1933-1934) spent approximately 5 billion marks on building government offices. The largest one is the construction of roads, mainly expressways, at 1.61 billion marks, followed by the construction of public buildings and residences (many of which later became barracks) of about 700 million marks, and the reclamation of wasteland and soil improvement, about 700 million marks. Renovation of rivers, digging canals and erecting bridges amounted to 350 million marks, and repairing and updating railway equipment amounted to about 500 million marks; subsidies and tax exemptions of about 600-700 million marks were issued to private parties participating in public projects.

The new monetary economic policy refuses to accept foreign borrowings and uses production as the basis of German currency instead of gold. Use direct barter to conduct import and export trade. End the so-called "foreign exchange freedom", which allows gambling on currencies and the transfer of private property from one country to another according to political circumstances. When there are manpower and materials available for work, money is created without borrowing from foreign countries.

Social welfare policy. Vigorously promote the social insurance system to increase and improve the social welfare of citizens. The paid leave system for employees was expanded, and a number of sanatoriums and hotels were built, allowing workers to enjoy vacation travel that only the bourgeoisie could enjoy in the past. Improve workers' working conditions and working environment through labor beautification activities.

These measures have played a great role in kick-starting the German economy, which was at the lowest point of the crisis, and reducing the huge number of unemployed people. An objective evaluation of Hitler cannot deny his contribution to the German economy. In terms of economic development, from 1932 to 1937, German national production increased by 102% and national income doubled. The Nazis created a miracle of German economic recovery. Hitler and his Nazi Party made Germany, which had been defeated miserably twenty years ago, rise again as a European power.
