Extract

The Nazis dealt rather cautiously with the German monetary system during die first two years of dieir regime. Hitler was particularly sensitive to questions of “confidence,” and was glad to saddle Schacht with the responsibility of keeping die monetary system from blowing up in die face of die new government. But by the end of 1934, diere were signs that the Nazis were beginning to take Germany out of die stream of what Goering contemptuously called “the so-called free play of economic forces.”

4 The “guns not butter” slogan was a morale item and not an indication of a serious tightening of belts. On the contrary, by 1938 per capita intake of consumer goods was probably at, or near, the 1928 prosperity level. Of course the expansion of heavy industry far outstripped that of consumer goods industry.—Klein, Burton, “Germany's Preparation for War: A Reexamination,American Economic Review, XXXVIII (March 1948), p. 63Google Scholar.
