Workers
+ Public works schemes - 'Strength Through Joy' - Volkswagen or People's Car/'Beauty of Labour'
+ German Labour Front
- Management + government were able to limit worker's freedom of movement
- German Labour Front - used to monitor workers/real wages in Third Reich did not increase dramatically/disobedience, strikes or absenteeism dealt with harshly
- Rearmament were amongst the biggest beneficiaries and meant People's cars rarely received/ workers least won over by Volksgemeinschaft, not many workers could afford cruises from by STJ
Peasants
+ Blood and soil ideology
+ Many debts were written off
+ Reich Entailled Farm Law
- Resented imposition such as hens required to lay 65 eggs/yr
- Migrated to towns and cities
- Peasantry could not compete with larger landowners + much land lost to fortifications
- During war goreign slave labour intro'd on farms, was direct contradiction to blood and soil
