This document summarizes how Hitler restored the German economy and gained widespread popularity following his rise to power in 1933. It details how he instituted large-scale public works programs that reduced unemployment to 5 million, rearmed the military in violation of the Treaty of Versailles, and instituted policies to win the loyalty of workers, farmers, and big business. This economic recovery and restoration of national pride led most Germans in the 1930s to feel a sense of loyalty and community towards Hitler's regime.
