How did Hitler restore Germany
Answers
Hitler ruled Germany for 6 of the 21 years of the inter-war period. The last six, to be precise. The first years, when the real recovery took place, Germany did OK without him. In the 1920s, under the Social-Democrats, who stabilized the currency GDP per capital went up from 2500 to 4000 real 1990 dollars. Hitler had nothing to do with that. Then, the GDP went down to 3800, by 1934, due to the recession. Hitler reduced some unemployment after 1934 through militarization and public works . GDP per capital went up to 5400, with the most dramatic jump in 1937-38. But then, the war started and the GPD stagnated. Also, if we take the consequences of World War 2 into account, he is the single most destructive politician in the history of Germany. At the end of World War 2, the GDP per capita was 2200 dollars, as low as that recorded in 1885.
