EXAM QUESTION Hurrah, die Butter ist alle! Es hat stets ein Reich stark gemacht, haben höchstens ein Volk fett gemacht EXTRACT A: From a school history website Hitler played little part in formulating economic policy or contributing to economic recovery. Instead, he relied on a group of close advisors ... One significant advisor was Schacht, the former president of the Reichsbank. Another was Ley, who co-ordinated Germany's workforce. Together, these men achieved impressive results - at least on the surface. By 1936, there was more or less full employment in Germany - though as might be expected, the Nazis manipulated these statistics to give the appearance of an improving economy. Women and political opponents were not counted in the unemployment figures, for example. Nor were German Jews, many of whom had been banned from their occupations. What impression does the author give about the success of Nazi economic policy? You must refer to Extract A in your answer (6 marks)/n
