How can I learn more about Hitler's economic transformation of Germany pre-WWII.
What are the essential books and videos?
Im a social studies teacher and Im interested in having my kids do a comparison of FDR's New Deal to Hitler's NatSoc Germany of next year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It seemed to be a combination Leninist central planning and New Deal public works, createing huge debt that was financed with IOU's. But then in 1936 Hitler went full retard, he committed to war at all costs and the massive rearnament program was going to bankrupt Germany by 1940 anyway.
It was a house of cards financed by IOU's never intended to be paid back, and outright extortion and robbery of wealth in the late 30's.

If you are just going to make up history can you not make it a bit more exciting?

a more apporpriate comparison would be between FDR and Mussolini's economics and how FDR possibly copied the dictator.

Eeeyup.
You'll learn that the basis for the economic transformation came from the Weimars. And all the Nazi's did was supercharge it with a complex form of IOU's to fund the re-armament industry. Also that the Nazi economy was extremely fragile and lurched from crisis to crisis and that most of the time they could barely keep their shit together.
It's a good book, long, but good.
the 'ten points' or whatever it was, you can easily copy paste them into a jpg image of bernie sanders or something and it would be upvoted by most NTs. things like every citizen is entitled to homes, income, cars, and should be rewarded for supporting community, joblessness basically doesnt exist.

You mean the way the Soviets turned around and reneged on Russian debts saying "the tsar did it lol, not us, gtfo" which was exceptionally dumb since many europeans, particularly french, had sent money to Russia to keep it safe from being seized during war, sending money to russia was like a swiss bank.
knock on effect of this meant that debt burden on germany grew and grew, though realistically the US could have cancelled the FR/UK debts (or at least cut) and potentially avoided all of the post war depressions and nationalist movements that came to be. financial policies of the interwar period were full retard.
