The Success of Hitler's Domestic Policy

Before they got in to power the nazi party put forward 25 points of

what they intending to do when they were in power.

All the points in the 25-point plan could be dived up into 4 groups.

The first of which is the drive for a single race Germany. Most of the

points that fall in to the section are about the limitation of

citizenship for the Jews. One of the main points was to stop all Jews

from voting. This was a successful policy. It meant that there was

less opposition to any laws that were passed against the Jews.

As well as restricting the vote lot of Hitler's other domestic polices

are based around his hatred for the Jewish race. Some historians have

said that the Jews inhabited Hitler's mind. Hitler saw the Jews as a

source of Germanys economic problems.

This was echoed by the German people's support for anti Semitism view

and policies. This mainly stemmed from the envy of the economic

success of the Jews. This lead to the introduction of laws that

stopped Jews for holding civil service or journalism jobs.

This was a partly successful policy because of the large amount of

civil service jobs that were now vacant it helped in the employment

drive. But these policies had other effects the Jews were now seen as

the enemy by the German people and so were increasing having their

business attacked.

Another main aim of Hitler's domestic policies was on the economic

problem that was facing German at the end of the old government. Karl

Bracher wrote, " at no time did National Socialism develop a

consistent economic or social theory" instead there were a series of

separate ideas th...

When looking at the success of Hitler's domestic policy you have to

remember his aims and what Hitler want to achieve. The most important

thing to Hitler was making Germany self-sufficient. Hitler achieved

this by focusing on the growth of large industry and the development

of a single race Germany. On both of these policies Hitler had

achieved some success. Large industry had increased rapidly and in

turn had reduced unemployment. Hitler had also success in the laws

that limited the activities of the Jews. But in other areas the

sacrifices that were made for the bigger business. This meant that all

Hitler's polices were not as successful as they seem because they had

effect on other areas of the German society. Hitler over all did not

achieve enough success to make Germany fully self-sufficient.
