I get what you are saying but no matter who was backing him Hitler still had to earn the respect and faith of the backers.
Hitler was no mindless puppet.
Perhaps Hitler realized this towards the end. I suppose I won't ever know.

The reparations Germany was forced to pay did not come from nowhere.
Germany attempted to bolster its wealth and power by taking that which it did not own.
It caused the opposition from several countries and Germany was crushed by the military superiority of that opposition.
The victor countries demanded reparation to pay for their losses in defending their territory.
Germany was NOT the poor little oppressed country in all this. The sweep of history was larger than the little window of time you mention.

OP, you gotta be kidding me? Nazi economics a miracle to be hailed today? Guess you had been had by the devil, to be believe in that thrash.
The true economic miracle was that undertaken by Hindenburg during the 20s. Much of foreign investments poured into Germany under him, and with honest humans around the world trying to find solutions to war repriations by germany, it manage to produce and sold products, created employment. It was golden age for the hardworking Germans after the lies and war by the monarch Kaiser.
Unfortunately Financial Depression struck Europe by the 30s. Much of capital fled, and many were out of work worldwide. Germans went hungry, and that's how the Nazi's managed to worm their way into power, by selling out to the devil.
Jews and foreign investors, from the rich to the poor, were robbed of their wealth and savings in Germany to pay for cheap imports of food and materials to the axis powers, including fellow devil Stalin's USSR. Much of production was focussed on producing war materials - bullets, bombs, ships, tanks, aircrafts, etc and thus germans were fully employed.
The gravy train ended by 7 years time. But the devil Hitler had planned and prepared. Robbing of fellow european neigbours' resources through outright war ensured the gravy continued, to pay for materials and a million soldiers employed. The Nazis were the master of fractional banking, which the Feds copied from. Useless paper as monetary value.
Do your research, seek for the truth, and do not attempt to whitewash or re-write history, or we will only be doomed to make the same mistakes. It was the darkest period in the history of the Germany Free People.
Socialism can work as an economic policy, but most certainly, not of the devil Nazi kind, which was an evil lie from the start.
Volume One, Chapter 8: The Beginning of my Political Activity -- another short, fundamental chapter. Excerpt: Thus, the task of the state toward capital was comparatively simple and clear: it only had to make certain that capital remain the handmaiden of the state and not fancy itself the mistress of the nation. This point of view could then be defined between two restrictive limits: preservation of a solvent, national, and independent economy on the one hand, assurance of the social rights of the workers on the other. Previously I had been unable to recognize with the desired clarity the difference between this pure capital as the end result of productive labor and a capital whose existence and essence rests exclusively on speculation. For this I lacked the initial inspiration, which had simply not come my way. But now this was provided most amply by one of the various gentlemen lecturing in the above-mentioned course: Gottfried Feder. For the first time in my life I heard a principled discussion of international stock exchange and loan capital. Right after listening to Feder's first lecture, the thought ran through my head that I had now found the way to one of the most essential premises for the foundation of a new party. In my eyes Feder's merit consisted in having established with ruthless brutality the speculative and economic character of stock exchange and loan capital, and in having exposed its eternal and age-old presupposition which is interest. His arguments were so sound in all fundamental questions that their critics from the start questioned the theoretical correctness of the idea less than they doubted the practical possibility of its execution. As I listened to Gottfried Feder's first lecture about the 'breaking of interest slavery,' I knew at once that this was a theoretical truth which would inevitably be of immense importance for the future of the German people. The sharp separation of stock exchange capital from the national economy offered the possibility of opposing the internationalization of the German economy without at the same time menacing the foundations of an independent national self-maintenance by a struggle against all capital. The development of Germany was much too clear in my eyes for me not to know that the hardest battle would have to be fought, not against hostile nations, but against international capital.

Thank you, OP for posting this.
I have tried to explain this to may people, about Adolf Hitler.
they just call me an anti-Semitist, Hitler loving, Holocaust denier. which I am not.
I'm just saying:
Hitler was a FANTASTIC leader. Had he not committed the Holocaust, he may have been hailed as the greatest leader in the world.
the way I like to phrase it is.
"What Hitler did may not have been good, but he was d*** good at what he did."edit on 11-4-2012 by novemberecho because: (no reason given)

I really do not know where to start with this thread, interesting as it is. So, simply, lets cut straight to the chase. Hitler's economic "miracle" actively required aggressive foreign expansion (ie, empire building) in order to avoid economic implosion after several years.
That isn't a miracle whatever way you look at it - that is rampant imperialism

His economic model was pretty much state guarantee of capital debt.
Huge state projects were financed by loans that he figured he'd pay off with the spoils of war.
A sort of jam tomorrow economy. (Well, blood tomorrow).
I read mein kampf years ago and it was plain to me then that he was a little nuts.
Like him or loathe him, he was a powerful figure in the history of the western world.edit on 11-4-2012 by SprocketUK because: (no reason given)
