OR
What did Hitler do to overcome the economic crisis that badly hit the German economy?
- Hitler assigned the responsibility of economic recovery to Hjalmar Schacht an economist.
- His main object was maximum production and employment through an employment programme financed by the government.
- This venture made the popular German expressways and manufactured the world famous Volkswagen car.
- Though Hitler focussed in integration of nations under the saying ‘One people, One empire and One leader’, Schacht guided him not to spend very much in fortification as the nation was undergoing fiscal shortfalls.
