What tale do

you think these

pictures tell?

When Hitler took power in 1933 there were 5,000,000 unemployed Germans, this was 25% of the workforce. This was a huge problem for Hitler in two ways:

  1. Unemployed were dangerous , they suffered poor living conditions and demanded help. If Hitler couldn't help them they may turn to Communism.
  2. Unemployed workers are a waste of resources and a burden on society. Every German should be in useful ‘work’.

By 1939 unemployment in Germany had fallen to around 300,000. This was an enormous success for the Nazis.
