- shows how doesn't want DLG to get into power against by going against hiim directly

baldwin would have rejected

dislikes DLG

  • 'a dynamic force a terribe thing'
  • disliked the way DLG acted
  • e.g. the way he dealt with the ottoman empire over the dealing near greece, a seemingly offensive move despite the traidition of britain defending the ottoman empire to reduce russian influence

cabinet refused to unemployment cuts

28= 12m

31= 125m

  • may commision reccomends cuts needed of 20%
  • cabinet split 11-9 but do agree that cuts needed
  • thus not true as did agree

gypsies

jews?

  • social darwinsism- theory of hierachy of races and jews near bottom
  • hitelr deemed jews ot be 'gemrs' that would make the master race less pure
  • thus wanted to exclude them from the volksgemeinschaft

did this by:

- 1933 boycott of jewish businesses; sa stand outside shops and intimidate passers by into not going into stores, called off after one day

shows how hitler wanted to display jews were not welcome in his germany, at this point in effectivley forcing imigraiton

- nuremberg laws 1935

reich citiszenship laws; only german citiszen if purely german blood, others deemed as subjects and given less rights

law for protection of german blood and honour- gemrans and non aryans now allowed to marry to keep race -pure

homosexuals

viewed as degenerate, thought would effect racial health of german people

also reduced birth rate, wanted to discourage this as effects lebensraum

  • 1934- gestappo ocmpile list of gays and ** eliminate rohm and other nazi sa who were gay
  • 1935  definition of homosexual widened and harsher penalties

- 100,000 arrested for homosexuality, 50,000 convicted

- often when released, taken into 'protective custordy' by the gestappo/** and sent to concentration cmaps

- 60&of gay prisoners died in cmaps due to harsh treatment

  • workers
  • women
  • youth
14 of 17

workers?

wanted to unify all germans into achieving goals of lebensraum etc

thus needed to break down class barriers and regional barriers and trade unions

  • tu seen as promoting causing conflict between classes and causing issues such as strikes
  • - thus banned in 1933 and all assets handed to Daf, the largest org in germany
  • Kdf formed off of DaF, co ordinates workers leisure time

- want to increase productivity via rests that increase motivation by subsidising 

- wnted to bring workers around to volksgemeinschaft, sent rich and poor on same holidays an peopel from different regions breqking down barriers

youth orgs

wanted to coordinate boys into becoming fathers and soldiers

  • ' be faithful , fight bravely, die happy' 
  • 1933 banned all orher orgs except catholics 
  • 1936 banned catholics and got monopoly on sportong facilities for kids under 14
  • made compulsory in 1939

shows male youths coordinated into becoming fathers and soldiers via volksgemeinschaft. Thus not minority

16 of 17

women

wnated to increase birth rte after WR where women had been liberted and fiven more freedom

  • hitler achieved this by methods such as awarding medals for giving birth to x children, the top one ebing gold= 8 kids
  • marriage loans given to wives of aryans who left work
  • - amount that had to be repaid reduced by 25% per chid borm
