According to the statistics office of the Reich, the share of the wages of German workers in the national income fell from 56.9% in 1932 (during the depression) to 53.6% in 1938 (the time of the economic boom). At the same time, the share of capital gains and profits of commercial and industrial firms in national income increased from 17.4% to 26.6%. Revenue from taxes on wages and salaries of workers and employees in community income increased by 66%. However, capital gains and profits from commercial and industrial firms rose even more – by 146% – How do you explain these results of Nazi economic policies?

While other countries, following the example of the United States, in order to overcome the crisis, developed and applied social policies to improve the situation of workers in order to increase labor productivity, in Germany, Adolf Hitler, on the contrary, did everything to make the most of the economic recovery practically “for nothing” the strength of the workers. The working day was increased to 12-14 hours, while the salary did not increase. It was established by agreement with the leadership of the German labor front – a single trade union in which all workers and employers were to be members. Now it was impossible not to work, unemployment was reduced 12 times, but the situation of the working people only worsened.
