Nazi Policies towards Women: A Snapshot 🌸
- Goal: Increase the birth rate.
- Outcome
- Birth rate increased in the 1930s.
- Still, the rate was below the levels of the early 1920s.
- Labour Shortage
- Due to economic recovery and rearmament, more jobs available!
- More women employed in industries in 1939 than in 1933.
- But... Wait a Minute! 🤔
- Highly skilled women couldn't get back their former high-status jobs.
🤓 Real-world example: Imagine a top-level manager being moved to a basic desk job. That's kind of like what happened to these highly qualified women.
Nazi Policies towards Workers: Dive In! ⛑️
- The Working Class Scene
- Largest social group in Germany.
- Strong ties to trade unions & left-wing parties before 1933.
- Major Nazi Challenge: Make them accept the Volksgemeinschaft idea.
- Enter the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront DAF)
- Replaced the abolished trade unions in 1933.
- Main Goals
- Control workers.
- Boost production.
- Woo workers to Nazism.
- Two Star Initiatives by DAF
- Beauty of Work (Schönheit der Arbeit or SdA)
- Focus: Improve workplace conditions.
- Provided good meals, new bathrooms, nicer work areas.
- Motto: Happy workers = Happy government!
- Strength through Joy (Kraft durch Freude or KdF)
- Target: Enhance leisure activities.
- Offered subsidized holidays, theatre visits, and cinema trips.
- Sneaky Objective: Keep workers so busy that they don't engage in anti-State activities.
- Idea: Immersing in community activities makes one part of the Volksgemeinschaft.
🍿 Real-world example: It's like giving Netflix subscriptions to employees to keep them entertained but also to ensure they stay away from other distractions or competitors!
- Reality Check by Historian Mary Fulbrook
- Workers enjoyed the freebies.
- But many didn't fully buy into the propaganda about a "harmonious factory community."
