Chapter 29: Was Hitler a Genius or a Mediocre (Part 2)
Marshal Brenberg was eliminated a few months earlier than in history, perhaps because of the butterfly effect caused by Li Mo's arrival.
Hitler served as the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces as he wished. Now Hitler completely combines the powers of the party, government and military. At this point, Hitler became a true dictator, and the centralization of the German senior executives was all contained in his own hands.
In fact, from the beginning of Hitler's political career, we can see that Hitler is extremely talented in political struggles. It can be said that Hitler is a political power genius, including the same evaluations of Hitler by later generations.
The Brenburg incident only proves Hitler's political talent from the side. So the conclusion we have come to is:
——Hitler was a political genius, there is no doubt.
What about Hitler's ability to govern the country and the economy?
As the head of state of Germany, Hitler saved Germany after World War I from the brink of depression and collapse. In just a few years, he armed Germany, which was mermaid meat, with rapid economic development and people's lives increasing. When the wheel of history rolled in to 1937, Germany's prosperity and strength and the people's fanatical worship of Hitler have proved Hitler's talent in this regard.
After the First World War, a large number of American companies were engaged in various speculative businesses in Germany. Of course, these speculative companies were mainly controlled by financial giants on Wall Street. Britain, France and the United States demanded that Germany pay huge amounts of war reparations, but Germany, which had just emerged from the war, obviously could not raise the funds, so they had to start the printing machine with all their might. In this way, the craziest financial disaster in history occurred in Germany, and super inflation swept the entire country. When the Germans were looted by super inflation, Wall Street and the British financiers were making a fortune in full swing. Such terrible inflation was like a "huge wealth harvester", and the German currency depreciated violently.
A large-scale transfer of wealth occurred in the process. Compared with the naked plunder driven by any force in the past, this transfer is more civilized and cruel. "Any foreigner with some dollar or pound in his hands can live like a king in Germany. A few dollars can make people live like a millionaire. Foreigners flocked to them, incredibly cheap prices, and snapped up the wealth of Germans' family, real estate, jewelry and art. The huge social wealth was frantic invisible looting, countless Germans lost their entire family, and the purchasing power of the US dollar or pound was magnified countless times. The huge wealth changed hands quietly during the rapid decline and surge between the US dollar and the mark.
This method (super inflation) can deprive people of their wealth at will, but in the process of making the majority poor, it will make a few rich. This process potentially accumulates destructive factors in various economic laws, and no one in a million people can see the root cause of the problem.
However, Hitler, in the prison in Bavaria, saw the essence of the collapse of German respect, and he mentioned: "The gold standard and currency comparison are the root cause of the disaster caused by the German people."
After Hitler came to power, he immediately began to restore the economy, mainly the military industry. Under a series of new policies and strong protection measures, Germany's economy developed rapidly. The unemployment rate plummeted, yes, it was a sharp decline! You read that right, this is a miracle in the history of the world economy! In 1938, Germany's unemployment rate was 1.3%. From 1932 to 1938, Germany's total iron production rose from 3.9 million tons to 18.6 million tons, steel production rose from 5.6 million tons to 23.2 million tons, and aluminum-magnesium and lathe production exceeded that of the United States.
From 1933 to 1939, Germany's heavy industry and arms industry grew by 2.1 times, and GDP has achieved 100% growth in these years. Not only that, Hitler also led Germany to complete the construction of the national highway network and reorganized the domestic heavy industry basic system. The key is to also equip a world-class army. So, if you know these great achievements, you will think this is a strange person and it is no exaggeration to say that this is an economic genius! In front of Hitler, Roosevelt was like a living shit.
In just five years, Hitler led Germany out of the swamp of war reparations, and got rid of the economic depression that most European and American countries were still continuing and even increasingly severe, and at the same time achieved economic recession. How could such a genius and such a great leader not be loved and respected? If we could go back to 1939, I think we would also join the young people who were pursuing Hitler, because it was him who made the Germanic nation stand up again and he led the country from the quagmire to prosperity and strength. Of course, the premise is that we are Germans.
Just imagine the cheers that resounded through the sky, the arms standing like forests, the magnificent buildings, and the athletes who were as strong as gods. All of these imply the strength and domineering ambitions of the world. After understanding these, we will not be confused and surprised by why people trust and love and even admire Hitler so much, because he lets everyone have food and work, he lets family or family, he lets his wife or wife, he lets parents read morning newspapers and drink milk, and he lets children play happily.
At this time, Hitler's personal prestige had reached its peak, which was indeed his great achievement. He no longer had to give passionate speeches like before. He just needed to show his face in public and show his typical hand-raising ceremony. Thousands of people and teenagers were fascinated by this god-like figure. Therefore, the choice, trust and support of the Nazis by the Germans is not based on brainwashing and deception in the so-called orthodox history today. This actually sounds funny. No matter how capable Hitler has, how could he let the people of Germany support him? Who could have such great ability to deceive the entire country? In fact, Hitler's performance in leading the Nazis to save Germany under the economic crisis and the real economic benefits obtained by the German people played a crucial role, because these real things are far more convincing than those propaganda.
——Hitler was a genius in governing the country and an economic genius, and there was no doubt about it.
How could Hitler be in military affairs? Is he a genius or a mediocre person?
Some people say that Hitler is a war genius, some people say that Hitler is a war mediocre, but in fact, it is all speculation from outsiders. Marshal Guderian made detailed comments on Hitler in his memoirs. Guderian believed that Hitler was not a war genius, and he had a certain talent for war with sudden whims. However, Hitler did not have a strategic vision to coordinate the overall situation, and often interfered in front-line military affairs, which caused the front-line generals to be at a loss.
[Explanation: There is no protagonist in these three chapters for the time being. It is definitely not that the author has forgotten the protagonist, because since this book is called the anger of the head of state, it is inevitable to analyze Hitler. Hitler is a topic that cannot be avoided in this book. Please collect and support all kinds of German fans, brothers, please help me!!!]
