In this episode, we’ll explore Nazi employment policies in Germany, focusing on their efforts to revitalize the economy and reduce unemployment. We’ll discuss job creation programs, especially in public construction projects, and the establishment of the National Labour Service. Despite claims of significantly reduced unemployment, the statistics often excluded marginalized groups and those in compulsory labour programs. We’ll also examine the roles of the German Labour Front, Strength Through Joy, and Beauty of Labour schemes in maintaining worker loyalty and improving conditions, while revealing how these initiatives often masked underlying issues of exploitation and limited improvements in living standards.
