Hitler capitalized on economic woes, popular discontent and political infighting to take absolute power in Germany beginning in 1933. Germany‟s invasion of Poland in 1939 led to the outbreak of World War II, and by 1941 Nazi forces had occupied much of Europe. Hitler‟s virulent anti-Semitism and obsessive pursuit of Aryan supremacy fueled the murder of some 6 million Jews, along with other victims of the Holocaust. After the tide of war turned against him, Hitler committed suicide in a Berlin bunker in April 1945. In 1933 Hitler was came into power in Germany we know the economic condition of that time. But afterwards Hitler made rules and Germany was uplift from great depression. It will lead to a hero image to Hitler in then Europe area. But the image was suddenly broken. 1. Why Hitler was cut down all the relation to the central bank. 2. He takes voluntarily exile from league of nations. 3. They make their own coin named „Reichsmark after 3-year Germany came as power house of Europe. There are so many types of economic depression were faced small and big nation but this is notaffected Germany. The major reason is the cut down the relation central bank and naturally the value ofReichsmark was raised. In the year of 1936 the first Jew protest against Hitler in America and Britain,the slogans are: “Judea declare war on Germany” Jews of all nation is up to boycott Germany goods. 144 | P a g e Naturally the German Jews are joined with them. Now these people are the helm of all economic relations. But the Zionist Jews make alliance with Hitler. They are orthodox and their aim was to creation of Israel in Palestine they are eagerly waiting for their chance at the same time on the basis of “Havare Treaty” the Zionist Jews are going to Palestine. For remembering this they make coin‟s on onside „swastika‟ and another side were “David”. Then Hitler was a adopted another revolution “the unification of Germany” on the treaty of Versailles, France get area Saarland and Rhineland. Hitler was to reunion the area also makes Referendum in that area. 90% of the citizen say yes and they want to join Germany then after Austria join with them at the time Britain and France were simply watch these activities. Day by day Germany was going power at their time. Poland was making an aggression against Germany. The reason for the attack was Germany get huge penalty on the Versailles treaty to give Poland but Germany change to the coin Polish slot to German. AReichsmark it will not accept by Poland. Naturally on the basis of Versailles. The geographical area was changed. In between east Germany and west Germany there is another part were that area was under the control of Poland. If Germany want to go to East Germany there is need and compulsory confirmation of Poland. The East Germany was fully fielded with oil but Poland start racial discrimination against German people on the reason of the current change. Poland created problem and demolished to the connection road in between east and west Germany. But Hitler make railway line in the same place it was an counter attack for Poland. German citizen was forced lot of ethnic violation in two side of Poland government and also huge type of human rights violation. Hitler inform to Britain and France the circumstances were going to bad but they were not trace any decisions. In 1939 September there was a city in Poland named Bromberg, Poland was created ethnic cleansing towards Germany around 5800 persons killed in the massacre Naturally Britain and France aid her to them also Hitler send their army to Bromberg and captured it, at that time Britain and France send the last warning towards Germany. “my aim is protection of my people” It is the replay of Hitler to France and Britain and he halted his army. But the German intelligence agency let news from Poland in September 7, under the help of France, Poland creating attack against Germany. Poland attack in the western side at the same time. 145 | P a g e Exchange rate with Reichsmark Currency Date set Value in ℛℳ May 1940 0.1 Belgian franc July 1940 0.08 Bohemian and Moravian koruna 1939 0.1 Bulgarian lev 1940 0.03 Danish krone 1940 1 French franc May 1940 0.05 Italian lira 1943 0.1 May 1940 0.25 Luxembourg franc July 1940 0.1 10 May 1940 1.5 Dutch guilder 17 July 1940 1.327 146 | P a g e 1940 0.6 Norwegian krone ? 0.57 Polish złoty 1939 0.5 Pound sterling (Channel Islands) 1940 11.5 (initially) Independent State of Croatia kuna April 1941 0.05 1939 0.1 Slovak koruna 1 October 1940 0.086 Ukrainian karbovanets 1942 0.1 Post war scenario After the Second World War, theReichsmark continued to circulate in Germany, but with new banknotes (Allied Occupation Marks) printed in the US and in the Soviet Zone, as well as with coins (without swastikas). In practice, massive inflation dating back to the latter stages of the war had rendered the Reichsmark nearly worthless. For all intents and purposes, it was supplanted by a barter economy (commonly, "cigarette currency"). The Reichsmark was replaced in June 1948 by the DeutscheMark in the Trizone (three western occupation zones) and (in the Soviet occupation zone) later in the same year by the East German Mark (colloquially also "Ostmark", since 1968 officially "Mark der DDR") in East Germany. The 1948 currency reform under the direction of Ludwig Erhard is considered the beginning of the West German economic recovery; however, the secret plan to introduce the Deutsche Mark in the Trizone was formulated by economist Edward A. 147 | P a g e Tenenbaum of the US military government, and was executed abruptly on 21 June 1948. Three days later, the new currency also replaced the Reichsmark in the three Western sectors of Berlin. In November 1945, the Reichsmark was superseded by the Allied Military Schilling in Austria. In 1947 a local currency (the Saar Mark, later replaced with the Saar Franc) was introduced in the Saar. Triumph of Hitler From the very beginning of his career until his dying day, Adolf Hitler had just two major goals. His primary goal was the forcible acquisition of Lebensraum (living space) for the German people. Secondly, he desired some kind of final reckoning with the Jews. The first steps toward Lebensraum occurred in 1935 when Hitler openly violated the Treaty of Versailles by reintroducing military conscription and began rapidly rebuilding the German Army. Hitler then managed to negotiate a naval pact with Britain allowing Germany to have a Navy totalling 35 percent of Britain's fleet, along with a submarine fleet equal in size. Hitler realized that world leaders were becoming increasingly nervous as Germany re-armed, given the country's role in the catastrophic World War some twenty years earlier. He continually reassured diplomats, and anyone else who would listen, that Germany's military build-up was solely a defensive measure designed to put the country on an equal footing with surrounding nations. After all, he would ask, didn't Germany have a right to defend itself like every other nation? Hitler Would answer his own question in the affirmative while in the same breath promising that Germany would never break the peace. To emphasize the point, Hitler uttered some remarkable statements concerning the horrors of war, which he had witnessed first-hand as a frontline soldier. On May 21, 1935, he declared during a major speech: "The blood shed on the European continent in the course of the last three hundred years bears no proportion to the national result of the events. In the end, France had remained France, Germany Germany, Poland Poland, and Italy Italy. What dynastic egotism, political passion and patriotic blindness have attained in the way of apparently far-reaching political changes by shedding rivers of blood has, as regards national feeling, done no more than touched the skin of nations. It has not substantially altered their fundamental characters. If these states 148 | P a g e had applied merely a fraction of their sacrifices to wiser purposes the success would certainly have been greater and more permanent." The leaders of France and Britain, and Hitler's smaller next-door neighbours, were naturally quite impressed by such sentiments. Years later, they would find out that on the very day Hitler spoke those words he had also approved a secret Reich Defence Law which put Germany on a war economy and revived the Army's General Staff organization, which had been banned after World War I. Most diplomats mistakenly took Hitler at his word and thought he was a man they could reason with, perhaps even trust. This, of course, was precisely what Hitler wanted them to think. He had them all at a distinct disadvantage, since they could never actually know what was in his mind. They didn't know they were dealing with a man who routinely used lies as a tool to achieve his long-range goals. Hitler could look anyone in the eye and lie with the utmost sincerity.
