Das Reichsarbeitsministerium im Nationalsozialismus
Over the last two decades, many German federal ministries and corporations have commissioned histories of themselves or their predecessors during the Nazi period. The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (Bundesministerium für Arbeit und Soziales – BMAS) sponsored an exhaustive and authoritative history of German social policy since 1945. In 2013, the BMAS arranged for a history of its forerunner, the Reich Labour Ministry (Reichsarbeits…
Robert Ley's Dream of a Racist Utopia
Little more than a year after gaining control of the German government, Adolf Hitler proclaimed an end to the Nazi revolution and concentrated on working with established elites in industry and the
Taking from the Weak, Giving to the Strong
Scholars have largely neglected the involvement of Germany's largest social program, its statutory pension system, in the Holocaust. This article demonstrates that the denial of pension rights to Jews conformed to general antisemitic policy. Prior to the 1941 promulgation of the so-called Eleventh Decree to the Reich Citizenship Law, legal casuistry was used to deny Jews their benefits and to strip them of their pension equity. But thereafter, th…

Das Wirtschaftsimperium der Deutschen Arbeitsfront 1933-1945
With his new book, Rüdiger Hachtmann provides readers with the first account of any kind of the business enterprises of the Nazi Party’s labour union (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF). The author uses a wide range of archival and published materials to support his analysis. He acknowledges the limitations of the documentary record, pointing out that many materials were destroyed during the Second World War, either by the Allied bombing of Berlin or by…

The Business of Genocide
Michael Thad Allen's history of the SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt (WVHA, SS Economic and Administrative Main Office) is a challenging book that will spark controversy. As other reviewers have noted, it is an iconoclastic work intended to put ideology back into our understanding of the Holocaust. In this respect, it is representative of a powerful trend in recent research on Nazi Germany. It does not achieve the purpose that Allen intends

Hyperinflation in Germany. Perceptions of a Process
Until the 1970s it was accepted that inflation and unemployment stood in an inverse relationship: that increases in the rate of inflation were primarily signs of tightness in labor markets and associated skill and labor shortages.Hence the decline in real prices during the 1930s in Britain was related to the existence of widespread unemployment, the management of the U.K. wartime economy was directed to the control of inflationary pressures under…
The German National Railway Company, 1924–1932
This article examines some major aspects of the history of the state-owned, privately operated German National Railway Company under the reparations regime of 1924 to 1932. It explores the dispute that erupted between the Reichsbahn and the government concerning whether the DRG should be used primarily to serve national economic and social ends or to earn a surplus to pay reparations. The controversies that erupted concerning tariffs, motor vehic…
The Dorpmüller Controversy of 1926
German minister of finance, Peter Reinhold (DDP [Democratic Party]), on 8 June 1926, wrote a letter to his state secretary, David Fischer, expressing his fear that one of Germany's largest organizations was trying to evade government control, indeed, 'supported by the London Protocol, was trying to form a state within the state'.1 Reinhold was not complaining about the army, but about the Deutsche Reichsbahn Gesellschaft [German National Railway …
