The document discusses the extent to which the German people benefited from Nazi rule between 1933 and 1939. It makes three key points: 1. The Nazis provided some economic benefits like reducing unemployment, rearmament programs that created jobs, and public works projects. However, freedoms were severely restricted under Nazi control of the press, courts, and secret police. 2. While some Germans enjoyed new opportunities, prosperity, and restored national pride, most lost basic freedoms and lived in fear of persecution or imprisonment in concentration camps. 3. Students should recognize exam questions on this topic that have appeared previously, and prepare detailed answers discussing both the economic gains and personal costs of life under Nazi rule.
