Section A
Answer Question 01.
Extract A
After the First World War, the free-market economy was restored, and from 1919
German industrialists gained greater influence within the state and over the trade unions.
During the inflation year of 1923, and in the period of stabilisation that began in 1924, the
growing influence of the major industrialists continued. The strongest section of
employers, which was grouped around the coal, iron and steel industrialists, worked 5
towards a capitalist economic system, which they could control. From 1929, the leaders
of heavy industry envisaged a solution to the economic crisis involving the suppression
and destruction of the trade unions. This is precisely what was offered to them by Hitler,
who won over the industrialists by proposing an economic programme which focused on
tax cuts and an industrial production policy. Hitler made it clear, in his discussions with 10
industry representatives, that his assumption of office would mean no significant change
in the existing free-enterprise system.
Adapted from F Fischer, From Kaiserreich to Third Reich, 1986
Extract B
The question of how Germany’s long-term economic future could be secured was made
more acute by the loss of the First World War and by the Depression. The loss of land
and colonies after 1919 intensified the feeling among Germans of being a people without
space. Under such conditions, economic factors intruded ever more on the sphere of
political debate and the solutions suggested were frequently anti-capitalist. Hitler was 5
simply an extreme example of this movement and the National Socialists attempted to
bring into being an alternative to the liberal capitalist order which they had seen collapse
in 1929. National Socialist economic policy in general represented not merely a
departure from, but a positive threat to, the capitalist system. As a result, between 1933
and 1936 there was a substantial growth of economic activity in Germany fuelled by a 10
programme of public works and state expenditure. From 1936, the Four Year Plan
continued the movement towards a long-term crisis-free economic order.
