Concerning the country of Germany,and the Nazi era,many times I have heard people wonder just how a nation could become so enthralled with a Man. Chapter 3 gives us here in America,a very unique perspective,because of the direction the United States has taken over the last 75 years.
This direction has become so radical,that here in America in 2019,many voices are speaking out in the very same manner as the German people were in the early 1930's concerning the situation as to who was controlling the country.These 2 chapters are very telling,regarding the situation with the Jews in Germany.What we were taught is untrue...

CHAPTER 3
THE JEWS IN GERMANY
After the great war (1914-18) had come to an end, the distress prevalent in
Eastern Europe, coupled with other causes, induced large numbers of those of
Jewish race to cross the German frontiers and to take up residence in Prussia,
where a Herr.
Badt -- himself a Jew -- managed to obtain an official position authorising him
to control all matters relative to immigration and naturalisation. He saw to it
that those sharing his race secured easy access to Germany, whilst at the same
time the West European and overseas countries imposed far-reaching
restrictions on immigration. These newcomers began to concentrate themselves
in the major cities and organised from them the systematic infiltration and
control of the German nation.
A few statistics may be helpful to show the extent to which these non-Germans
gradually succeeded in spreading their influence upon important professions
and in various allied domains.
In reading these statistics it is important to remember that those of Jewish race
formed just 1% of the total population.

THE THEATRE AND FILM INDUSTRY
"1931, of 234 theatre managers 50.4% were members of the Jewish race. In
Berlin the figure rises to 80%. Jews wrote not less than 75% of all plays prior
to Hitler’s election. In the film industry too, the Jewish influence
predominated." (The periodical 'Schönere Zukunft' -- A Brighter Future --
February, 3rd, 1929)
This was the period when Berlin had an international reputation for theatrical
seediness, debasement and pornography. In Mein Kampf Hitler stated:
"The share of Jews in the modern film industry is so decisive that a very slight
percentage is left available for non-Jewish undertakings."
"One needed only to look at the posters announcing the hideous productions of
the cinema and theatre, and study the names of the authors who were highly
lauded there in order to become permanently adamant on Jewish questions.
"Here was a pestilence, a moral pestilence from which the public was being
infected. It was worse than the Black Plague of long ago.
"And in what mighty doses this poison was manufactured and distributed.
Naturally, the lower the moral and intellectual level of such an author of artistic
products the more inexhaustible his fecundity. Sometimes it went so far that
one of these fellows, acting like a sewage pump, would shoot his filth directly
in the face of other members of the human race. . .
"It was a terrible thought, and yet it could not be avoided, that the greater
number of Jews seemed specially designed by Nature to play this shameful
part." (Adolf Hitler. Mein Kampf. Ibid.42)
"The fact that nine-tenths of all the smutty literature, artistic tripe and theatrical
banalities, had to be charged to the account of people who formed scarcely one
per cent of the nation -- that fact could not be gainsaid. It was there. It had to be
admitted." (Adolf Hitler. Mein Kampf. Ibid.42)

POLITICAL INFLUENCE:
Of the Social Democratic Party's 39 Representatives, 38 were of Jewish race.
The Workers Educational Institutes comprised 81% of Jewish. Karl Marx (real
name Karl Mordecai Levi) and Friedrich Engels, the godfathers of Communism
were Jewish, as was Leon Trotsky (real name Lev Bronstein).
GOVERNMENT:
In November, 1918, Jews had seized control of the following states; Hirsch,
(Haase and Herzfeld. Prussia), Eisner (Bavaria), Lipinsky and Gradnauer
(Saxony), Heymann (Wurttemberg) and Haas (Baden).
The Government of the Revolution included among others, Haase, Cohn,
Herzfeld, Schiffer, Bernstein, Cahen and Preuss. The latter was given the task
of drawing up the new German Constitution.
"The German nation, moreover, was rapidly falling under the control of its
alien elements. In the last days of the pre-Hitler regime there were twenty times
as many Jewish Government officials in Germany as had existed before the
war. Israelites of international attachments were insinuating themselves into
key positions in the German administrative machine." (The Daily Mail, July,
10th, 1933)
JEWISH VOICES:
Dr. Manfred Reifer, the well-known leader of the Jews in Bukovina, published
an article in September, 1933 (Czernowitzer Allgemeine Zeitung) in which he
wrote:
"Whilst large sections of the German nation were struggling for the
preservation of their faith, we Jews filled the streets of Germany with our
vociferations. We supplied its Press with articles on the subject of its Christmas
and Easter festivities and administered to its religious beliefs in the manner we
considered suitable. We ridiculed the highest ideals of the German nation and
profaned the matters which it holds sacred."
Dr. Nahum Goldmann, President. World Zionist Organisation:
"No Jewish minority in any other country, not even that in America could
possibly compete with the German Jews. They were involved in large-scale
banking, a situation unparalleled elsewhere, and, by way of high finance, they
had also penetrated German industry.
"A considerable proportion of the wholesale trade was Jewish. They controlled
even such branches of industry, which is in general not in Jewish hands.
Examples are shipping or the electrical industry, and names such as Ballin and
Rathenau do confirm this statement. I hardly know of any other branch of
emancipated Jewry in Europe or the American continent as deeply rooted in the
economy, as was Germany Jewry.
"American Jews of today are absolutely as well as relatively richer than the
German Jews were at the time, it is true, but even in America with its unlimited
possibilities, the Jews have not succeeded in penetrating into the centre spheres
of industry (steel, iron, heavy industry, high finance, shipping) as was the case
in Germany."
From Mein Leben als Deutscher Jude (Goldmann) we read:
"Their position in the intellectual life of the country was equally unique. In
literature, they were represented by illustrious names. The theatre was largely
in their hands. The daily Press, above all its internationally influential sector,
was essentially owned by Jews or controlled by them.
"As paradoxical as this may sound today, after the Hitler era, I have no
hesitation to say that hardly any section of the Jewish people has made such
extensive use of emancipation offered to them in the nineteenth-century as the
German Jews. In short, the history of the Jews in Germany from 1870 to 1933
is probably the most glorious rise that has ever been achieved by any branch of
the Jewish people."
HITLER:
"If the question is still asked why National Socialism combats the Jewish
element in Germany so fanatically, the answer can only be, because National
Socialism wishes to establish a real community of the people. Since we are
National Socialists, we cannot permit an alien race to impose itself upon our
working people as their leaders." -- Adolf Hitler
"Nearly all Bolshevist agitators in Germany and elsewhere were Jews." (Adolf
Hitler)
FRENCH AGREEMENT:
On May, 29th, 1934, a Paris newspaper, 'L'ami du Peuple' carried an article
against the anti-social 'machinations' of the Jewish refugees from Germany:
"These people fled from Germany because they attempted to set up a rule of
fire and blood and to let loose the horrors of civil war and universal unrest."
AN AMERICAN VOICE:
E.B Pierce, the President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Berlin,
stated on the occasion of a meeting held at the end of May, 1934, that
"it would be impossible to speak any longer of orderly economic conditions in
Europe if Germany had not succeeded in saving Europe from the dangers of
Bolshevism."
Clearly the German nation had fallen to an alien racial minority that in the
words of the Daily Mail had 'insinuated themselves' into a position whereby
they effectively controlled Germany as they did Russia.
Adolf Hitler determined on a course that would recover German control; of
German interests, which many would agree under the circumstances was a
perfectly legitimate and noble aim. This however is now dressed up as 'virulent
anti-Semitism.' One might reflect on the horrors that would have been spared
the peoples of Russia and scores of other Christian nations had they taken a
similar course of action.
Adolf Hitler's national recovery program was however extremely lenient, and is
best illustrated by his Act for the Restoration of the Professional Status of Civil
Servants, (Act.3, published April, 7th, 1933:
"Officials of non-Aryan descent are to be pensioned. Those of them acting in
an honorary capacity are to be removed from their office. This provision is not
applicable to officials whose appointments date from August 1st, 1914, or from
an earlier date; nor to those who fought during the World War in the front line
either in Germany or for her allies, nor to those whose fathers or brothers were
killed in the World War."
Thus, those Jews who had 'insinuated themselves into key positions' were not
summarily dismissed but were placed on the retirement list.
"They now receive the same rates of retired pay as an other German official, in
conformity with legal provisions."
"I have nothing against the Jews themselves. But the Jews are all Communists,
and these are my enemies. . . it is these I am fighting. . . all Jews stick together
like burrs. . . it is up to the Jews themselves to draw a dividing line between
these different kinds. But they have not done that, and therefore, I must proceed
uniformly against all Jews." (Max Planck quoting from a conversation held
with Adolf Hitler)
Hitler regularly attended concerts; one of his favourite composers being Gustav
Mahler (1860-1911), who is of course Jewish.
HITLER NOT ANTI-SEMITIC
BUT ANTI-TALMUDIC
". . . in that the Third Reich treated Christianised Jews preferentially. The
National Socialist Third Reich carefully distinguished between Talmudic and
Christianised Jews." (Philip Freedman, 'Their Brothers Keepers' N.Y 1957)
"In early 1938, Jewish doctors and dentists were still participating in the
German State compulsory insurance program (Ortskrankenkassen) which
guaranteed them a sufficient number of patients."
"In 1938, 10% of the practicing lawyers in Germany were Jews, although the
Jews constituted less than 1% of the population." (United States Ambassador
Hugh Wilson to Secretary of State Hull)
"The United States took exception to a German law on March, 30th, 1938,
which removed the Jewish church from the established German church roll
which deprived it of state funds. In fact, this brought German law into line with
English Law." (Daniel L. Hoggan. Historical Revisionist)
On February, 27th, 1943, when 10,000 Jews were being deported from Berlin:
"The Christian wives of those arrested were able to wring concessions from the
Nazis, who released the men." (Philip Freedman. Their Brothers Keepers NY
1957)
One may also wonder that as late as 1943, three and one half years into the war
and eleven years after Hitler was elected, there were still 10,000 Jews living
openly and freely in the German capital, and married to German wives.
Such facts disprove allied propaganda and so they are hidden carefully from
sight. It is also interesting to note that whilst in Hitler's capital city, such
numbers of Jews were allowed to go about their business freely, had they been
of Japanese descent and living in the United States, all would have been
rounded up; men, women and children; orphans and the offspring of mixed
marriages, and confined to concentration camps.
Clearly it was healthier to be a Jew in Berlin, 1943 than it was to be the
unfortunate child product of a Japanese-American marriage!
"In 1939, six years after Hitler was elected, there were still 120,000 Jews living
voluntarily in Germany." (Heinz Roth. Why Are We Being Lied To?)
The question increasingly being asked is, if Hitler's intention was to
exterminate the Jews, why had he given them every assistance to emigrate
throughout his years of government, and how does it explain that years after the
alleged program of extermination was begun, 120,000 having had every
opportunity and assistance to leave the country had refused to do so?
JEWS NOT SERIOUSLY HINDERED:
"The German Jews were being treated like a humbled minority, out of
favour. . . the activity of the Jews was in reality not seriously hindered." (Heinz
Roth. Why Are We Being Lied To? - p. 29, 121)
What is a matter of public record is that by 1939, 400,000 resident Jews had
received every assistance, compensation and indeed training to re-settle
elsewhere; Madagascar being the chosen destination. This was done in open
collaboration with Jewish organisations. Other countries too had a program of
assisted emigration not just for Jews but for their own nationals too. The French
long before the outbreak of war were planning the emigration of 10,000 Jews.
Emigration was a normal means of population dispersal and settlement
practiced by most countries of which it can safely be said that Britain led from
the front. It is well to remember that at this time and for a long time afterwards,
the great shipping companies of the world were making enormous profits from
the government-subsidised emigration of British nationals to the United States
and the Dominions.
These included 130,000 British children, many of them without parents, even
babes in arms, taken from orphanages and care wards and against their wishes
and often without the knowledge of parents, where they had them, forced to
leave their homeland and often settled in institutions where they were to suffer
every kind of abuse and deprivation.
Many were lied to and told that they had no parents; often split from their
brothers and sisters. This expulsion of our country's children, and adults too, is
a shameful blot on its history and it is interesting to suppose that the Third
Reich's policy of re-settlement was a great deal more enlightened than was
Britain's. Incredibly, this enforced re-settlement of children without parents
continued until 1967 and is still cloaked in a veil of secrecy.
It is equally interesting to reflect that whilst the British governments of the time
by a combination of deception and financial inducements (£10 assisted
passages to Australia) were draining orphanages of unwanted British children,
they were simultaneously assisting the colonisation of Britain by West Indians
and others from far-flung territories.
Hitler's Germany had no policy of forced re-settlement of its own citizens; quite
the opposite in fact. A great deal of effort and investment was made to
encourage the return of Germans who had previously emigrated to escape the
shortcomings of German administrations prior to the Third Reich era.
Despite Germany's enormous and by comparison more liberal policy of
resettlement, 680,000 Jews were still living in the Third Reich by 1939.
VIOLENCE EXAGGERATED:
Hitler's antagonism towards sections of the international Jewish community has
been deliberately falsified and exaggerated to create the impression that Jews in
Germany were treated badly. The determination of 680,000 of them to stay
suggests otherwise.
AN ENGLISHMAN'S OBSERVATIONS:
"My private conversations with Jews were illuminating. They did not bear out
what the British newspapers suggested. Mountains had been made out of
molehills; melodrama out of comic opera. The majority of the 'assaults' were
committed by over-zealous youths, and in nearly every instance consisted of
'ratting' unfortunate men who were not particularly respectful of the new
regime. Physical harm very little, mental, probably much.
"This is what I learned from my Jewish friends, who are staying in Germany
and have no intention of leaving the country, nor have they ever been asked to
leave the country. Those who wish to leave and return may do so at their own
pleasure. The laws relating to the freedom of Jews are substantially the same as
those of other people.
"The trouble that has risen has nothing to do with the domiciled Jew, many of
whom are still employed by government in various spheres of usefulness. There
are about 80,000 undesirable Jews that Germany wants to get rid of for all time,
and willingly would she deport them all to Great Britain or the United States of
America if the request was made.
"These are Jews who since the Armistice have penetrated the country and
created a situation that has wrought considerable social and political harm in
Germany. Among these undesirables are murderers, ex-convicts, potential
thieves, fraudulent bankrupts, white slave traffickers, beggars of every
description that beggars description, and political refugees. Many have come
from Baltic states, others from Poland, and not an inconsiderable number from
Russia." (G.E.O. Knight, In Defence of Germany)
"Before the revolution of last March, the Jews in the Reich overran every
government department, and enjoyed the highest privileges in every profession
and calling. They were the principle organisers of the Communist Party, and
became identified with every one of the seventy-two warring political sects in
the country.
"In every way they proved themselves eminently capable businessmen and
politicians. Many had grown very wealthy. Nearly every German war profiteer
was a Jew; the native German seems to have regarded with feelings of shame
and horror the idea of making money out of his country during times of great
stress. . .
"That one per cent of the population of Germany should impose their rule and
culture -- however eminent that culture may be -- on more than sixty-million
native born Germans is unreasonable, to use no stronger word. . .
"So when the Nazi worm turned, and the services of many Jews were dispensed
with, Jewry throughout the world rose in arms and through the medium of the
Press here, and public meetings in London and the provinces, denounced the
German Government in violent terms.
"The Germans have assumed control of their country, and for weal or woe they
mean to maintain their position. The German people are perfectly entitled to
possess what form of government they please; it ill becomes us to dictate to
them." (G.E.O. Knight, In Defence of Germany)
ONE OF HITLER'S CLOSEST
COMRADES A JEW
In Mein Kampf, Hitler describes a fracas, which took place in the Hofbrauhaus
on November 4th, 1921, when Communists tried to break up a meeting being
held by the National Socialist Party (NSDAP).
"The dance had hardly begun when my Storm troops, as they were named from
that day forth, attacked. Like wolves they rushed again and again in parties of
eight or ten on the enemy, and began gradually to sweep them literally out of
the hall. After five minutes I could see hardly one who was not streaming from
blood. I was beginning to know their quality; at their head my splendid
Maurice. . ."
The Maurice referred to was Emil Maurice. A tall, handsome moustached man
who appears in numerous often published photographs of Hitler with his
political companions. The most common is the much-published photograph of
Hitler with Emil Maurice and Lieutenant-Colonel Kriebel in Landsberg Prison.
Emil Maurice was Party member 594 (the numbering sequence began at 501).
A member since 1919 and prior to the formation of the NSDAP, Maurice
became SS Member No.2. He was Hitler's personal bodyguard and permanent
companion for many years.
Emil Maurice was Jewish and Hitler was well ware of the fact. When Heinrich
Himmler wanted Maurice expelled from the SS, Hitler would not hear of it and
intervened on his behalf.
WORKING TOGETHER FOR
A COMMON INTEREST:
It must be remembered in terms of context that Jewish Zionists believed firmly
in the setting up of a separate Jewish homeland. Britain more so than any other
country (except Germany) has made untold sacrifices and has spent enormous
amounts of money; and British lives, expelling Palestinians from their
historical homeland in order to set up the first Jewish state and facilitate
emigration to it.
It should also be remembered that racially mixed marriages were (and are) as
much anathema to Jews as they ever were to Hitler. Even today, Jewish
organisations -- quite rightly in my opinion -- discourage marriage between
Jews and Gentiles. Advertisements regularly appear in newspapers -- the New
York Times comes to mind -- openly discouraging such marriages.
That Hitler's NSDAP worked together with Jewish organisations to discourage
inter-racial marriage and collaborate in areas of mutual interest, such as
resettlement is beyond question. Hitler wanted to be rid of the problem of
Jewish predominance in German affairs. At the same time many Jewish
organisations wished to set up an independent homeland and had a vested
interest in wildly exaggerating claims of anti-Semitism as a means of applying
pressure for a Jewish homeland (Madagascar was considered the most likely)
and discouraging their co-racials from settling in Germany.
"It is certain. . . that during the first phases of National Socialist Jewish policy
situations developed in which it seemed suitable to the National Socialists to
accept or advance a pro-Zionist attitude." -- The Jewish writer, Hannah Arendt.
JEWISH OPINION:
The German emigration plans foundered on the objections of Chaim
Weizmann, the Zionist leader, which moved the great Jewish philosopher, J.G.
Berg to comment:
"Thereby was wasted one of the great chances for the deliverance of the German Jews."
The Jews themselves scuppered a sensible and civilised policy of emigration, not unlike but kinder than Britain’s own emigration programs.
The Jewish author and philosopher J.G.Berg expressed surprise when studying German documents, that the German policy of Jewish emigration (not extermination) was hampered by the reluctance of other states to take them in.
In Nuremberg numerous original documents from the Foreign Office were submitted. Under the entry, Berlin, 25th, January 1939, I read the astonishing official statement; point Two is one of these documents:
'The final goal of the German Jewish policy is the emigration of all Jews living in the Reich. . .’
In Point Four it is said. 'The emigrated Jews is the best propaganda for the German Jewish policy.'
Further on: 'After 100,000 Jews, in the years 1933 - 34 had found their way, legally or illegally, out of Germany into foreign parts. . . almost all of the states of the world hermetically sealed their borders against the Jewish emigrants.'
"What a fearful, what a bitter and shameful fact! . . . later I read many more interesting facts in these documents." (J.G. Berg)
It is worth remembering that whilst Jews were immigrating to Hitler's Germany, other countries asked to relieve the German state of this problem, refused to accept them. As late as 1945 the Swedish Government was refusing to accept Jews from Germany.
Note the date. We are told that 'Nazi' Germany's intention was to exterminate Jewry, even at enormous expense to the war effort, shipping them in from France, Russia and suchlike. One wonders then at the contrary -- and proven evidence -- that in fact the beleaguered country was sparing no expense to assist the emigration of Jews to any country that would take them in.
"That the German Government at that time, in spite of everything, even when the war of total destruction against Germany was drawing to its tragic close, still did not give way to the correspondingly radical course; indeed, it intervened in individual incidents of persecution (against the Jews), when brought to its attention. Even at the end of 1944, it repeated its previously made suggestions (Madagascar, etc.) to remove the Jews from the whole German area of influence. See the statements of Joel Brand in the Kastner proceedings in Jerusalem." (Scronn)
"No democratic Government in the world can submit itself to a popular vote in greater trust and with greater confidence than can the National Socialist Government of Germany." -- Adolf Hitler, 30th January, 1935.
The election on July, 31st, 1932 was a victory for the National Socialists. They polled 13,574,000 votes and with 38% of the total votes cast legitimately and democratically became the largest Party in the Reichstag with 230 seats. The Social Democrats had 133 seats and the Communists 89. On January 30th, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany.
At the polls of March, 5th, the NSDAP polled 17,277,180 votes; an increase of 5.5 million bringing their voting percentage up to 44%, which when placed in coalition with the Nationalists led by Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg who had polled 3,136,760 votes, showed an overwhelming majority of Germans had in free and open elections made their preference for German nationalism clear.
Immediately after his appointment as Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, in his first appeal to the German nation on February, 1st, 1933, asked to be allowed just four years in order to carry out the task of national reconstruction. He repeated the same request when a few days later, when at a speech in the Berlin Sportpalast, he said:
"During fourteen years the German nation has been at the mercy of decadent elements which have abused its confidence. During fourteen years those elements have done nothing but destroy, disintegrate and dissolve. Hence it is neither temerity nor presumption if, appearing before the nation today, I ask: German nation, give us four years time, after which you can arraign us before your tribunal and you can judge me!
"Allow me four years, and I swear to you, as truly as I have now undertaken my duties, I will depart. It is not for any reward or benefit that I have taken office, but only for your sake. It has been the greatest decision of my whole life.
"I cannot rid myself of my faith in my people, nor lose the conviction that this people will resuscitate again one day. I cannot be severed from the love of a people that I know to be my own. And I nourish the conviction that the hour will come when millions of men who now curse us will take their stand behind us to welcome the new Reich, our common creation born of a painful and laborious struggle and an arduous triumph -- a Reich which is the symbol of greatness, honour, strength, honesty and justice."
True to his word, on March 29th, 1936, the German nation was given as promised the opportunity to express their approval or disapproval of the National Socialist state. It was an entirely free election without fear or intimidation with adequate provision made for monitoring by neutral observers.

Small wonder that of all the books written and documentaries produced on the Third Reich, none dare to publish facts such as these. As someone wisely said; 'history is the propaganda of the victors.'
" . . . a turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling against one another, with a pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to a sense of dignity by friendly appeals, exhortations and grave warnings. I could not refrain from laughing." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.53
"Several weeks later I paid a second visit. This time the house presented an entirely different picture, so much so that one could hardy recognise it as the same place. The hall was practically empty. They were sleeping in the other rooms below. Only a few deputies were in their places, yawning in each other's faces. One was speechifying. A Deputy Speaker was in the chair. When he looked round it was plain that he felt bored." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.53
"As a contrast to this kind of democracy we have the German democracy, which is a true democracy; for here a leader is freely chosen and is obliged to accept full responsibility for all his actions and omissions. The problems to be dealt with are not put to the vote of the majority; but they are decided upon by the individual, and as a guarantee of responsibility for those decisions he pledges all he has in the world and even his life." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.61
The National Socialist system of government was largely based on referenda in which the really important issues of the day were debated and voted upon by the German people. When, for instance, Adolf Hitler felt it necessary to prove the German nation's sincerity in its peaceful intentions, he called for an election combined with a plebiscite (referendum) that stated:
"It is not for my own sake that I asked for this national vote, but for the sake of the German people. It is not I who require such a vote of confidence to strengthen and sustain me; it is the German people who require a Chancellor supported by such confidence before the world. For I am nothing my fellow countrymen, but your mouthpiece, and do not wish to be anything but the representative of your life and the defender of your vital interests." -- Adolf Hitler.
"The German Government and the German nation are united in the sincere wish to examine and solve dispassionately, be means of negotiations, all pending questions with all other nations, including Germany's former adversaries. The German Government and the German nation are prepared to conclude long term continental pacts of non-aggression with the object of securing peace, the economic prosperity, and the general reconstruction of Europe." Adolf Hitler
This general election and plebiscite took place on November 12th, 1933. Of a total of 43,491,575 votes recorded, 40,632,628 were cast in favour of the Government, this being a majority of 95%.
On January, 13th, 1935, two years after the election of Adolf Hitler, free elections observed by international observers were held in which the electorate were asked whether they wished to remain as French citizens or would prefer to become part of the Third Reich.

THOSE FAVOURING NO CHANGE: 46,513

There was a 90.5% majority in favour of reunification with Germany. Yet another election the propagandists choose to ignore for reasons transparent.
HITLER THE VOTE WINNER (AUSTRIA)
On March 13th, 1938, the Austrian Government enacted a constitutional law concerning a plebiscite for the reunion of Austria with the Third Reich. On 18th, March, 1938, Hitler dissolved the Reichstag and announced conformity with the plebiscite which was announced on April, 10th, 1938. The peoples of both nations were to be given the opportunity to decide for or against unification with Hitler's Germany.

OBSERVATIONS:
"Most foreign observers present in Vienna that day accepted that the polling had been free from any open intimidations." (Gordon Brook-Shepherd. British writer)
"The crisis of March, 1938 (which led to the Anschluss) was provoked by Schuschnigg, the Austrian Chancellor, not by Hitler." (A.J.P. Taylor. British Historian)
"He (Chamberlain) had no difficulty in recognising where this injustice lay. There were six million Germans in Austria to whom national reunification was still forbidden by the Peace Treaties of 1919. Three million Germans in Czechoslovakia whose wishes had never been consulted; three hundred and fifty thousand people in Danzig who were notoriously German." (A.J.P. Taylor)
"The German Army was invading Austria, or rather was marching in to the general enthusiasm of the people." (A.J.P. Taylor)
"The pull of sentiment, language and history, reinforced by the material advantages offered by becoming part of a big nation, was strong enough to waken a genuine welcome when the frontier barriers went down and the German troops marched in garlanded with flowers . . . there was a widespread sense of relief, even amongst those who were far from being Nazis." (Alan Bullock. Historian)
"Chamberlain's conduct towards Germany . . . had never been dictated by a consciousness of military weakness but exclusively by the religious idea that Germany must have justice, and that the injustice of Versailles must be made good." (Prime Minister Chamberlain's Press Officer)
"It (Munich) was a triumph for all that was best and most enlightened in British life; a triumph for those who had preached equal justice between peoples, a triumph for those who had courageously denounced the harshness and the shortcomings of Versailles." (A.J.P. Taylor. The Origins of the Second World War)"
Hitler had a plausible case to argue when he claimed that the Anschluss was only the application of the Wilsonian principle of self-determination." -- Alan Bullock
THE SUDETENLAND:
"The worst offence (of the Versailles Treaty) was the subjection of over three million Germans to Czech rule." (H.N. Brailsford. Leading Left-Wing Writer. 1920)
". .. in early 1939 the problem of Czechoslovakia -- the rump, polyglot state created at Versailles, comprising many central European ethnic populations -- continues to dominate European affairs. Hitler backs the aspirations for independence from the Czechs of the Slovaks, the biggest minority within the artificial Czech state." (Count Jerzy Potocki, Polish Ambassador)
Coincidentally, on the very day I include this relevant quotation (31st, January, 1993), 54 years on from the Fuhrer's recommendation, the Czech and Slovak people of their own free will took Hitler's advice and separated themselves from each other, amidst much rejoicing. During the same period (1939) Lord Halifax warned that Hitler intended to establish an independent Ukrainian state.
Is it not interesting that these paragons of the democratic process and signatories of the Atlantic Charter, who had set themselves up as the guarantors of small nations' independence, should have been so alarmed when that Czechs, Slovaks, Ukrainians and others too, opted for independence. How ironic also that this was Adolf Hitler's advice.
"There has never been a government in Germany which had a better right to claim that it represented the broad masses of the people than has the National Socialist Government. The elections held on November, 12th, 1933, when 95% of the valid votes recorded by the German people were given for Herr Hitler and his policy, proved that the German people unanimously back the German Government." Dr. Joseph Goebbels
"In 1932, before National Socialism acquired power, the German national income amounted to 45.2 milliard Reichsmarks. . . and in 1937 reached the round figure of 68 milliard Reichsmarks. In contrast to this increase in income the general cost of living index remained practically unchanged. In other words, while the national income increased by nearly 50% the increase in the general cost of living rose by only 4%."
Five years of National Socialist industrial and economic activity show that:
Paper manufacture has increased by 50%
The manufacture of diesel oil has increased by 66%
The production of coal has increased by 68%
The production of oil fuel has increased by 80%
The production of mineral oil has increased by 90%
The production of artificial silk has increased by 100%
The production of Kerosene has increased by 110%
The production of steel has increased by 167%
The production of lubricating oil has increased by 190%
"The production of petrol and other motor fuels increased by 470%.
Aluminium production by 570%
and the production of Zellwoille by 2,500%."
"We have been successful in increasing our foreign trade in imports from 4.2 to 5.5 milliard Reichsmarks and in exports from 4.9 milliard in 1933 to 5.9 milliard Reichsmarks in 1937."
"After the USA, Germany today is once more the leading steel producing country in the world." -- Adolf Hitler
THE FOLLOWING NUMBER
OF VEHICLES WERE LICENSED:
1932 1937
56,400 motorcycles 234,000 motorcycles
41,100 motor cars 216,000 motor cars
7,000 commercial vehicles
50,600 commercial vehicles
"Whereas in 1937 roughly five times as many motor vehicles were licensed as in 1932, the export of motor cars has increased eightfold as compared with the same year."
"In 1932 German inland shipping conveyed 73.5 million tons which increased to 130 million tons in 1937."
"German ocean shipping conveyed 36 million tons in 1932 and 61 million tons in 1937. The idle tonnage that was laid up along the rivers Elbe and Weser and along the German coast has completely disappeared."
"German shipbuilding yards had orders for 22,000 tons in 1932. At present they have orders on hand for a total tonnage of 1,120,000 tons for merchant shipping alone."
1932: 440 million Reichsmarks
1933: 708 million Reichsmarks
1935: 1325 million Reichsmarks
1937: 1450 million Reichsmarks
". . . the displacement of earth by far exceeds the building achievement of the Panama Canal."
"The following large bridges were built.
6 bridges over the Rhine,
4 over the Elbe,
2 over the Oder,
3 over the Danube,
1 over the Weser, and
1 over the Pregel.
In addition, 3,400 further bridges were built in connection with the super highways."
"Every year a thousand kilometres of motor-roads will be opened until the greatest work in the history of mankind is completed." (Adolf Hitler)
"340,000 houses were built in 1937 -- twice the number built in 1932. Altogether 1,400,000 houses have been put on the housing market since the National Socialists acquired power.
"In 1932, only 19 out of every 1,000 people in Germany owned cars as compared with 41 in France and 37 in Great Britain; today, however, the figure for Germany is 35 in every 1,000 as compared with 51 per 1,000 in France and Great Britain.
"Total industrial production in Germany is today 144% greater than in 1932. Even the peak year of 1929 was exceeded as early as 1936, while today about 30% more industrial goods are produced than in 1929. The production of capital goods has risen much more strongly than has the production of consumption goods, being now four times as great as in 1932 and more than one and a half times as great as 1929.
"Progress in the field of domestic raw material production has been even greater. Iron ore production has risen from an average of 843,000 metric tons for the first three months of 1932 to 1,226,000 metric tons in the first three months of 1938. This means an increase of 45%. Furthermore there has been great progress in domestic oil production. In 1938, staple fibre production has reached 155,000 metric tons as compared with 5,400 metric tons in 1933 and 102,000 metric tons in 1937." (Adolf Hitler)
"In the sphere of economic life all action must be governed by one law; capital serves industry, and industry serves the people." -- Adolf Hitler
"German economic salvation has been brought about solely through the efforts of the German people and the experience they have gained. Countries abroad have contributed nothing to this." -- Adolf Hitler
"Germany's economic salvation was due solely to the nation's own efforts under its own leadership." - Adolf Hitler
"We have made it possible, without gold and without foreign exchange, to maintain the value of the German mark. Behind the German mark stands the German capacity for work, while some foreign countries, suffocated by gold, have been compelled to devalue their currencies." (Adolf Hitler)
"Today in May, 1938, the world around us suffers from the anxiety which the unemployment of millions brings with it. In Germany we begin to be anxious because we have not enough workmen." (Adolf Hitler)
Hitler was well aware that Britain and America would seek to resolve their problem by initiating a trade war that would destroy Germany and grab its markets.
"The war was not just a matter of the elimination of Fascism in Germany, but rather of obtaining German sales markets." (Winston Churchill. Fulton. March 1946)
Hitler said that he understood that Germany's economic prosperity caused problems, and put forward a proposal that soon, after steps being taken for mutual disarmament. There would be an exchange of opinions on the economic situation in Europe.
"Britain was taking advantage of the situation to go to war against Germany because the Reich had become too strong and had upset the European balance." (Ralph Franklin Keeling)
"In Britain, Lord Halifax was reported as being 'redeemed'. . .
"He ordered beer. We laughed and joked." (H. Roth. Are We Being Lied To?)
"Germany is too strong. We must destroy her." (Winston Churchill, November 1936 to US General Wood.)
"I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around Roosevelt." (Sir. Hartley Shawcross. British Attorney General)
In fact, such was the reason and result of the Ukrainian famine; artificially created by 'Uncle Joe Stalin' precisely for that purpose, the effects of which led to an estimated 30 million Russian deaths.
"I want bread and work for my people. And certainly I do not wish to have it through the operation of credit guarantees, but through permanent labour, the products of which I can either exchange for foreign goods or for domestic goods in our internal commercial circulation.
"Germany has an enormous number of men who not only want to work but also to eat. I cannot build the future of the German nation on the assurances of a foreign statesman or on any international help, but only on the real basis of steady production, for which I must find a market at home and abroad." (Adolf Hitler, Paris Soir, January 26th, 1936)
The terms of the Versailles Treaty and various other trade restriction impositions had put Germany at a trading disadvantage. Hitler's Germany however turned the tables by adopting a system of trade-barter. In this way he effectively eliminated the international financiers and fixers, corroding their influence and giving Germany the trading advantages. The German system was so obviously superior that this unfortunately made war even more inevitable.
"The Nazi phenomenon arose from the German desire to avenge the defeat of 1918 and to find a place in the sun for the most dynamic of European nations." (Hon. Major General Khub Chand. Indian statesman and diplomat. Doenitz at Nuremberg. A re-Appraisal)
"The reproach that world trade is declining as a result of the German method of barter trade can, if it is correct at all, only be addressed to those who are to blame for this development. They are those countries who by means of their currency manoeuvres arbitrarily destroy every fixed relationship between individual currencies in accordance with their own egotistical requirements.
"In these circumstances however the German system of exchanging something that has been turned out as an honest job of work for something equally honestly produced is a far more straightforward way of doing business than by payment in foreign currency, which a year later is devalued by so much percent." (Adolf Hitler. 6th Anniversary Speech)
"Joining with Samuel Untermeyer in calling for a war against Germany, Bernard Baruch, at the same time, was promoting preparations for war against Germany. 'I emphasised that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their elimination from world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to swell her foreign commerce in both volume and profit." - - Samuel Untermeyer, The Public Years, p.347
"It is likely that Germany's successful competition through bilateral agreements and the banking nations desire to liquidate such interest-free competition was an important factor in the United States and Britain promoting war against Germany." (Conrad Grieb. American Manifest Destiny and the Holocausts, Examiner Books, N.Y 1979)
"After the last war, informal attempts were made to stabilise currencies but they failed. . . competitive currency depreciation led to other forms of economic warfare. . . new currency tricks restricted and burdened trade. They must certainly be counted as a contributory cause of the great depression. And they were the first phase of the tragic war in which we are now engaged." (Henry Morgenthau, Secretary to the (US) Treasury)
"When in the course of the last few years unemployment disappeared in Germany and turned into an even greater shortage of labour, it was impossible for the government to view this impassively, since otherwise there was a danger that some industrial branches would be compelled to restrict their production. . .
"Labour reserves today in Germany can be secured by the employment of additional female labour, later retirement, and employment of superfluous independent workers as wage earners in industry. But these reserves are relatively small so that the question arises how to increase efficiency of labour." (Congressman Hamilton Fish)
"At the end of February, 1933, registered unemployment was 6,014,000. The corresponding figure for 1934 was 3,374,000. . . . It has been achieved in part by using Government credit to stimulate employment, in part by a general drive under the direction of the Nazi Party, and in part by a genuine business recovery." (H. Powys-Greenwood, Hitler's First Year)
"The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of living." (Adolf Hitler)
"Life is not a problem of financial speculations, but always only a problem of work. The folk community does not exist on the fictitious value of money, but on the results of productive labour, which is what gives money its value. This production, and not a bank or gold reserve, is the first cover for a currency." (Adolf Hitler)
"In the course of carrying through our program for which we have calculated four years, two and one-quarter million out of 6 million unemployed have already received employment again within a period of eight short months." (Adolf Hitler)

LIFE IN HITLER'S GERMANY
"Thereby was wasted one of the great chances for the deliverance of the German Jews."
The Jews themselves scuppered a sensible and civilised policy of emigration, not unlike but kinder than Britain’s own emigration programs.
The Jewish author and philosopher J.G.Berg expressed surprise when studying German documents, that the German policy of Jewish emigration (not extermination) was hampered by the reluctance of other states to take them in.
In Nuremberg numerous original documents from the Foreign Office were submitted. Under the entry, Berlin, 25th, January 1939, I read the astonishing official statement; point Two is one of these documents:
'The final goal of the German Jewish policy is the emigration of all Jews living in the Reich. . .’
In Point Four it is said. 'The emigrated Jews is the best propaganda for the German Jewish policy.'
Further on: 'After 100,000 Jews, in the years 1933 - 34 had found their way, legally or illegally, out of Germany into foreign parts. . . almost all of the states of the world hermetically sealed their borders against the Jewish emigrants.'
"What a fearful, what a bitter and shameful fact! . . . later I read many more interesting facts in these documents." (J.G. Berg)
JEWS STILL HEADING FOR GERMANY:
"That even during the anti-Semitic Hitler period in Germany in the years 1933-
37, over 10,000 Jews immigrated to Germany; of about 1,200 in 1937, 97 came
directly from Palestine. Considering the Press campaign against National
Socialism, that is inexplicable because all immigrants were certainly warned: a
special investigation of the reasons for the immigration is certainly necessary."
(Dietrich Bronder. Bevor Hitler Kam.) It is worth remembering that whilst Jews were immigrating to Hitler's Germany, other countries asked to relieve the German state of this problem, refused to accept them. As late as 1945 the Swedish Government was refusing to accept Jews from Germany.
NO THANK YOU:
"Very honoured, Herr Himmler! The Jews are just as unwanted in Sweden as in
Germany. Therefore I understand you completely on the Jewish question. As
medical officer Kersten told me, you have released 5,000 Jews to him for
evacuation to Sweden. I am not pleased with this, because I want to move no
Jews. Since I cannot, however, officially refuse, I ask you to, Herr Himmler."
(Count Bernadotte of Sweden to Himmler. March 10th, 1945) Note the date. We are told that 'Nazi' Germany's intention was to exterminate Jewry, even at enormous expense to the war effort, shipping them in from France, Russia and suchlike. One wonders then at the contrary -- and proven evidence -- that in fact the beleaguered country was sparing no expense to assist the emigration of Jews to any country that would take them in.
"That the German Government at that time, in spite of everything, even when the war of total destruction against Germany was drawing to its tragic close, still did not give way to the correspondingly radical course; indeed, it intervened in individual incidents of persecution (against the Jews), when brought to its attention. Even at the end of 1944, it repeated its previously made suggestions (Madagascar, etc.) to remove the Jews from the whole German area of influence. See the statements of Joel Brand in the Kastner proceedings in Jerusalem." (Scronn)
CHAPTER 4
HITLER, THE VOTE WINNER
75 Million Germans say "YES" to One Nation, One People, One Leader. "No democratic Government in the world can submit itself to a popular vote in greater trust and with greater confidence than can the National Socialist Government of Germany." -- Adolf Hitler, 30th January, 1935.
The election on July, 31st, 1932 was a victory for the National Socialists. They polled 13,574,000 votes and with 38% of the total votes cast legitimately and democratically became the largest Party in the Reichstag with 230 seats. The Social Democrats had 133 seats and the Communists 89. On January 30th, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany.
At the polls of March, 5th, the NSDAP polled 17,277,180 votes; an increase of 5.5 million bringing their voting percentage up to 44%, which when placed in coalition with the Nationalists led by Franz von Papen and Alfred Hugenberg who had polled 3,136,760 votes, showed an overwhelming majority of Germans had in free and open elections made their preference for German nationalism clear.
Immediately after his appointment as Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, in his first appeal to the German nation on February, 1st, 1933, asked to be allowed just four years in order to carry out the task of national reconstruction. He repeated the same request when a few days later, when at a speech in the Berlin Sportpalast, he said:
"During fourteen years the German nation has been at the mercy of decadent elements which have abused its confidence. During fourteen years those elements have done nothing but destroy, disintegrate and dissolve. Hence it is neither temerity nor presumption if, appearing before the nation today, I ask: German nation, give us four years time, after which you can arraign us before your tribunal and you can judge me!
"Allow me four years, and I swear to you, as truly as I have now undertaken my duties, I will depart. It is not for any reward or benefit that I have taken office, but only for your sake. It has been the greatest decision of my whole life.
"I cannot rid myself of my faith in my people, nor lose the conviction that this people will resuscitate again one day. I cannot be severed from the love of a people that I know to be my own. And I nourish the conviction that the hour will come when millions of men who now curse us will take their stand behind us to welcome the new Reich, our common creation born of a painful and laborious struggle and an arduous triumph -- a Reich which is the symbol of greatness, honour, strength, honesty and justice."
True to his word, on March 29th, 1936, the German nation was given as promised the opportunity to express their approval or disapproval of the National Socialist state. It was an entirely free election without fear or intimidation with adequate provision made for monitoring by neutral observers.
THE OUTCOME
TOTAL QUALIFIED VOTES: 45,453,691 TOTAL VOTES CAST: 45,001,489 (99%)
VOTES 'NO' OR INVALID: 540,211
VOTES FOR HITLER'S NSDAP: 44,461,278 (98.8%)
Small wonder that of all the books written and documentaries produced on the Third Reich, none dare to publish facts such as these. As someone wisely said; 'history is the propaganda of the victors.'
GOVERNMENT BY THE PEOPLE
The National Socialist electoral system was not based on the parliamentary
system but was nonetheless democratic. Of the parliamentary system of
government, Hitler was scathing: " . . . a turbulent mass of people, all gesticulating and bawling against one another, with a pathetic old man shaking his bell and making frantic efforts to call the House to a sense of dignity by friendly appeals, exhortations and grave warnings. I could not refrain from laughing." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.53
"Several weeks later I paid a second visit. This time the house presented an entirely different picture, so much so that one could hardy recognise it as the same place. The hall was practically empty. They were sleeping in the other rooms below. Only a few deputies were in their places, yawning in each other's faces. One was speechifying. A Deputy Speaker was in the chair. When he looked round it was plain that he felt bored." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.53
"As a contrast to this kind of democracy we have the German democracy, which is a true democracy; for here a leader is freely chosen and is obliged to accept full responsibility for all his actions and omissions. The problems to be dealt with are not put to the vote of the majority; but they are decided upon by the individual, and as a guarantee of responsibility for those decisions he pledges all he has in the world and even his life." -- Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, p.61
The National Socialist system of government was largely based on referenda in which the really important issues of the day were debated and voted upon by the German people. When, for instance, Adolf Hitler felt it necessary to prove the German nation's sincerity in its peaceful intentions, he called for an election combined with a plebiscite (referendum) that stated:
"It is not for my own sake that I asked for this national vote, but for the sake of the German people. It is not I who require such a vote of confidence to strengthen and sustain me; it is the German people who require a Chancellor supported by such confidence before the world. For I am nothing my fellow countrymen, but your mouthpiece, and do not wish to be anything but the representative of your life and the defender of your vital interests." -- Adolf Hitler.
"The German Government and the German nation are united in the sincere wish to examine and solve dispassionately, be means of negotiations, all pending questions with all other nations, including Germany's former adversaries. The German Government and the German nation are prepared to conclude long term continental pacts of non-aggression with the object of securing peace, the economic prosperity, and the general reconstruction of Europe." Adolf Hitler
This general election and plebiscite took place on November 12th, 1933. Of a total of 43,491,575 votes recorded, 40,632,628 were cast in favour of the Government, this being a majority of 95%.
HITLER THE VOTE WINNER
(THE SAAR REGION)
The Versailles Treaty deprived Germany of the Saar territory, falsely claiming
as justification that the region was historically French and with a French
population of 150,000. In fact, the French population was just 2,000. For every
French citizen in the Saar, there were 250 Germans. On January, 13th, 1935, two years after the election of Adolf Hitler, free elections observed by international observers were held in which the electorate were asked whether they wished to remain as French citizens or would prefer to become part of the Third Reich.
IN FAVOUR OF UNIFICATION
WITH GERMANY: 477,119
THOSE FAVOURING NO CHANGE: 46,513
IN FAVOUR OF REMAINING FRENCH: 2,124
There was a 90.5% majority in favour of reunification with Germany. Yet another election the propagandists choose to ignore for reasons transparent.
HITLER THE VOTE WINNER (AUSTRIA)
On March 13th, 1938, the Austrian Government enacted a constitutional law concerning a plebiscite for the reunion of Austria with the Third Reich. On 18th, March, 1938, Hitler dissolved the Reichstag and announced conformity with the plebiscite which was announced on April, 10th, 1938. The peoples of both nations were to be given the opportunity to decide for or against unification with Hitler's Germany.

OBSERVATIONS:
"Most foreign observers present in Vienna that day accepted that the polling had been free from any open intimidations." (Gordon Brook-Shepherd. British writer)
"The crisis of March, 1938 (which led to the Anschluss) was provoked by Schuschnigg, the Austrian Chancellor, not by Hitler." (A.J.P. Taylor. British Historian)
"He (Chamberlain) had no difficulty in recognising where this injustice lay. There were six million Germans in Austria to whom national reunification was still forbidden by the Peace Treaties of 1919. Three million Germans in Czechoslovakia whose wishes had never been consulted; three hundred and fifty thousand people in Danzig who were notoriously German." (A.J.P. Taylor)
"The German Army was invading Austria, or rather was marching in to the general enthusiasm of the people." (A.J.P. Taylor)
"The pull of sentiment, language and history, reinforced by the material advantages offered by becoming part of a big nation, was strong enough to waken a genuine welcome when the frontier barriers went down and the German troops marched in garlanded with flowers . . . there was a widespread sense of relief, even amongst those who were far from being Nazis." (Alan Bullock. Historian)
"Chamberlain's conduct towards Germany . . . had never been dictated by a consciousness of military weakness but exclusively by the religious idea that Germany must have justice, and that the injustice of Versailles must be made good." (Prime Minister Chamberlain's Press Officer)
"It (Munich) was a triumph for all that was best and most enlightened in British life; a triumph for those who had preached equal justice between peoples, a triumph for those who had courageously denounced the harshness and the shortcomings of Versailles." (A.J.P. Taylor. The Origins of the Second World War)"
Hitler had a plausible case to argue when he claimed that the Anschluss was only the application of the Wilsonian principle of self-determination." -- Alan Bullock
THE SUDETENLAND:
"The worst offence (of the Versailles Treaty) was the subjection of over three million Germans to Czech rule." (H.N. Brailsford. Leading Left-Wing Writer. 1920)
". .. in early 1939 the problem of Czechoslovakia -- the rump, polyglot state created at Versailles, comprising many central European ethnic populations -- continues to dominate European affairs. Hitler backs the aspirations for independence from the Czechs of the Slovaks, the biggest minority within the artificial Czech state." (Count Jerzy Potocki, Polish Ambassador)
Coincidentally, on the very day I include this relevant quotation (31st, January, 1993), 54 years on from the Fuhrer's recommendation, the Czech and Slovak people of their own free will took Hitler's advice and separated themselves from each other, amidst much rejoicing. During the same period (1939) Lord Halifax warned that Hitler intended to establish an independent Ukrainian state.
Is it not interesting that these paragons of the democratic process and signatories of the Atlantic Charter, who had set themselves up as the guarantors of small nations' independence, should have been so alarmed when that Czechs, Slovaks, Ukrainians and others too, opted for independence. How ironic also that this was Adolf Hitler's advice.
"There has never been a government in Germany which had a better right to claim that it represented the broad masses of the people than has the National Socialist Government. The elections held on November, 12th, 1933, when 95% of the valid votes recorded by the German people were given for Herr Hitler and his policy, proved that the German people unanimously back the German Government." Dr. Joseph Goebbels
THE ECONOMIC MIRACLE:
The following figures are typical of the increase in German production,
progress and living standards between 1932 and 1937, and are taken from a
three hour reported addressed by the German Chancellor. "In 1932, before National Socialism acquired power, the German national income amounted to 45.2 milliard Reichsmarks. . . and in 1937 reached the round figure of 68 milliard Reichsmarks. In contrast to this increase in income the general cost of living index remained practically unchanged. In other words, while the national income increased by nearly 50% the increase in the general cost of living rose by only 4%."
Five years of National Socialist industrial and economic activity show that:
Paper manufacture has increased by 50%
The manufacture of diesel oil has increased by 66%
The production of coal has increased by 68%
The production of oil fuel has increased by 80%
The production of mineral oil has increased by 90%
The production of artificial silk has increased by 100%
The production of Kerosene has increased by 110%
The production of steel has increased by 167%
The production of lubricating oil has increased by 190%
"The production of petrol and other motor fuels increased by 470%.
Aluminium production by 570%
and the production of Zellwoille by 2,500%."
"We have been successful in increasing our foreign trade in imports from 4.2 to 5.5 milliard Reichsmarks and in exports from 4.9 milliard in 1933 to 5.9 milliard Reichsmarks in 1937."
"After the USA, Germany today is once more the leading steel producing country in the world." -- Adolf Hitler

"For the maintenance and development of German roads, including
the super highways, the following sums have been spent. 1932: 440 million Reichsmarks
1933: 708 million Reichsmarks
1935: 1325 million Reichsmarks
1937: 1450 million Reichsmarks
". . . the displacement of earth by far exceeds the building achievement of the Panama Canal."
"The following large bridges were built.
6 bridges over the Rhine,
4 over the Elbe,
2 over the Oder,
3 over the Danube,
1 over the Weser, and
1 over the Pregel.
In addition, 3,400 further bridges were built in connection with the super highways."
"Every year a thousand kilometres of motor-roads will be opened until the greatest work in the history of mankind is completed." (Adolf Hitler)
"340,000 houses were built in 1937 -- twice the number built in 1932. Altogether 1,400,000 houses have been put on the housing market since the National Socialists acquired power.
"In 1932, only 19 out of every 1,000 people in Germany owned cars as compared with 41 in France and 37 in Great Britain; today, however, the figure for Germany is 35 in every 1,000 as compared with 51 per 1,000 in France and Great Britain.
"Total industrial production in Germany is today 144% greater than in 1932. Even the peak year of 1929 was exceeded as early as 1936, while today about 30% more industrial goods are produced than in 1929. The production of capital goods has risen much more strongly than has the production of consumption goods, being now four times as great as in 1932 and more than one and a half times as great as 1929.
"Progress in the field of domestic raw material production has been even greater. Iron ore production has risen from an average of 843,000 metric tons for the first three months of 1932 to 1,226,000 metric tons in the first three months of 1938. This means an increase of 45%. Furthermore there has been great progress in domestic oil production. In 1938, staple fibre production has reached 155,000 metric tons as compared with 5,400 metric tons in 1933 and 102,000 metric tons in 1937." (Adolf Hitler)
"In the sphere of economic life all action must be governed by one law; capital serves industry, and industry serves the people." -- Adolf Hitler
"German economic salvation has been brought about solely through the efforts of the German people and the experience they have gained. Countries abroad have contributed nothing to this." -- Adolf Hitler
"Germany's economic salvation was due solely to the nation's own efforts under its own leadership." - Adolf Hitler
"We have made it possible, without gold and without foreign exchange, to maintain the value of the German mark. Behind the German mark stands the German capacity for work, while some foreign countries, suffocated by gold, have been compelled to devalue their currencies." (Adolf Hitler)
"Today in May, 1938, the world around us suffers from the anxiety which the unemployment of millions brings with it. In Germany we begin to be anxious because we have not enough workmen." (Adolf Hitler)
CRUSH THE COMPETITION:
Germany's reduced dependency upon imports and its phenomenal increase in
productivity and exports provided Germany with an economic and social
advantage with which neither Britain, the USA and the USSR could compete.
Furthermore, severe social deprivation, the effect of the Great Depression,
social unrest and economic uncertainty in these countries were in contrast to
Germany which was experiencing an economic and social miracle. Germany
had to be destroyed. Hitler was well aware that Britain and America would seek to resolve their problem by initiating a trade war that would destroy Germany and grab its markets.
"The war was not just a matter of the elimination of Fascism in Germany, but rather of obtaining German sales markets." (Winston Churchill. Fulton. March 1946)
Hitler said that he understood that Germany's economic prosperity caused problems, and put forward a proposal that soon, after steps being taken for mutual disarmament. There would be an exchange of opinions on the economic situation in Europe.
"Britain was taking advantage of the situation to go to war against Germany because the Reich had become too strong and had upset the European balance." (Ralph Franklin Keeling)
ON WAR BEING DECLARED:
"Uneasiness ruled in the House of Commons. A delegate of the Labour Party
met with the British Foreign Minister Halifax on September 2nd, (1939) in the
lobby of Parliament. 'Do you still have hope?' he asked. 'If you mean hope for
war,' answered Halifax, 'then your hope will be fulfilled tomorrow.' 'God be
thanked!' replied the representative of the British Labour Party. (Professor
Michael Freund) "In Britain, Lord Halifax was reported as being 'redeemed'. . .
"He ordered beer. We laughed and joked." (H. Roth. Are We Being Lied To?)
"Germany is too strong. We must destroy her." (Winston Churchill, November 1936 to US General Wood.)
"I believe now that Hitler and the German people did not want war. But we declared war on Germany, intent on destroying it, in accordance with our principle of balance of power, and we were encouraged by the 'Americans' around Roosevelt." (Sir. Hartley Shawcross. British Attorney General)
INTERNATIONAL TRADE:
"You will be visiting Japan, where goods that are flooding the world's markets
are being manufactured under entirely different labour conditions. That will,
one day also apply to Russia. The powers-that-be in Moscow will, if necessary,
allow part of the populace to starve in order to maintain the export trade."
(Adolf Hitler, Paris Soir, January 26th 1936) In fact, such was the reason and result of the Ukrainian famine; artificially created by 'Uncle Joe Stalin' precisely for that purpose, the effects of which led to an estimated 30 million Russian deaths.
"I want bread and work for my people. And certainly I do not wish to have it through the operation of credit guarantees, but through permanent labour, the products of which I can either exchange for foreign goods or for domestic goods in our internal commercial circulation.
"Germany has an enormous number of men who not only want to work but also to eat. I cannot build the future of the German nation on the assurances of a foreign statesman or on any international help, but only on the real basis of steady production, for which I must find a market at home and abroad." (Adolf Hitler, Paris Soir, January 26th, 1936)
The terms of the Versailles Treaty and various other trade restriction impositions had put Germany at a trading disadvantage. Hitler's Germany however turned the tables by adopting a system of trade-barter. In this way he effectively eliminated the international financiers and fixers, corroding their influence and giving Germany the trading advantages. The German system was so obviously superior that this unfortunately made war even more inevitable.
"The Nazi phenomenon arose from the German desire to avenge the defeat of 1918 and to find a place in the sun for the most dynamic of European nations." (Hon. Major General Khub Chand. Indian statesman and diplomat. Doenitz at Nuremberg. A re-Appraisal)
"The reproach that world trade is declining as a result of the German method of barter trade can, if it is correct at all, only be addressed to those who are to blame for this development. They are those countries who by means of their currency manoeuvres arbitrarily destroy every fixed relationship between individual currencies in accordance with their own egotistical requirements.
"In these circumstances however the German system of exchanging something that has been turned out as an honest job of work for something equally honestly produced is a far more straightforward way of doing business than by payment in foreign currency, which a year later is devalued by so much percent." (Adolf Hitler. 6th Anniversary Speech)
"Joining with Samuel Untermeyer in calling for a war against Germany, Bernard Baruch, at the same time, was promoting preparations for war against Germany. 'I emphasised that the defeat of Germany and Japan and their elimination from world trade would give Britain a tremendous opportunity to swell her foreign commerce in both volume and profit." - - Samuel Untermeyer, The Public Years, p.347
"It is likely that Germany's successful competition through bilateral agreements and the banking nations desire to liquidate such interest-free competition was an important factor in the United States and Britain promoting war against Germany." (Conrad Grieb. American Manifest Destiny and the Holocausts, Examiner Books, N.Y 1979)
"After the last war, informal attempts were made to stabilise currencies but they failed. . . competitive currency depreciation led to other forms of economic warfare. . . new currency tricks restricted and burdened trade. They must certainly be counted as a contributory cause of the great depression. And they were the first phase of the tragic war in which we are now engaged." (Henry Morgenthau, Secretary to the (US) Treasury)
UNEMPLOYMENT DEFEATED:
By 1938, unemployment was a thing of the past, and even the retired had to be
induced back to accommodate the needs of German's economic and productive
success: "When in the course of the last few years unemployment disappeared in Germany and turned into an even greater shortage of labour, it was impossible for the government to view this impassively, since otherwise there was a danger that some industrial branches would be compelled to restrict their production. . .
"Labour reserves today in Germany can be secured by the employment of additional female labour, later retirement, and employment of superfluous independent workers as wage earners in industry. But these reserves are relatively small so that the question arises how to increase efficiency of labour." (Congressman Hamilton Fish)
"At the end of February, 1933, registered unemployment was 6,014,000. The corresponding figure for 1934 was 3,374,000. . . . It has been achieved in part by using Government credit to stimulate employment, in part by a general drive under the direction of the Nazi Party, and in part by a genuine business recovery." (H. Powys-Greenwood, Hitler's First Year)
"The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of living." (Adolf Hitler)
"Life is not a problem of financial speculations, but always only a problem of work. The folk community does not exist on the fictitious value of money, but on the results of productive labour, which is what gives money its value. This production, and not a bank or gold reserve, is the first cover for a currency." (Adolf Hitler)
"In the course of carrying through our program for which we have calculated four years, two and one-quarter million out of 6 million unemployed have already received employment again within a period of eight short months." (Adolf Hitler)
THE REICHSTAG FIRE:
"The German people have no reason to envy the rest of the world an acquisition
of any kind. But what would the world say about Germany if we had held a
farcical trial for the benefit of a criminal who had attempted to set fire to the
British Houses of Parliament, a trial which could have had no other object but
to place British justice and her legal administration below the level of such a
scoundrel." (Adolf Hitler)
GERMAN EQUALITY
WITH OTHER NATIONS:
"I wish and will continue to wish, that the German people should learn that by
reason of practical examples afforded by their ability and work, they are not a
second-rate or inferior people in comparison with others. On the contrary they
are their equals according to all true standards of values and therefore entitled
to equal rights in all respects." (Adolf Hitler)next
