Adolf Hitler About Industry

 

No economic politics without sword, no industrialization without power.

 

Speech of April 10, 1923 in Munich


Blast furnaces can burst, coal mines flood, houses may burn to ashes - if just the folk afterward stands up, strong, unshakeable, determined to go all the way! For if the German folk is resurrected, then everything else will also be resurrected.

 

Speech of August 21, 1923 in Munich


His (the peasant’s) remaining health is...the first prerequisite for the blossoming and prospering of our industry, of German domestic trade and of German export...What the whole economy, including our export industry, owes to the healthy sense of the German peasant, simply cannot be paid back through any sacrifice of a business kind.

 

Speech of March 23, 1933 in Berlin


The industries will be forced to rationalize more and more, that means increase of their performance with reduction of the number of workers. But if the people are not taken up in the newly created branches of professions, in newly created industries, then that means that gradually three folk accounts will have to be touched: The one is called agriculture - from this basic folk account one once saved people for the second account; this second account was manual labor and later industry production; now a savings of people is undertaken from this second account, which one shoves over to the third account, unemployment.

 

Lecture of January 27, 1932 in Düsseldorf


Germany, England, France - and additionally, for no strong reason, the American Union and a whole list of small states - are industrial nations, dependent on export. After the end of the war all these people found a world market rather emptied of commodities. Now the - through the war especially scientifically-theoretically brilliant - industry and factory methods pounce into this great void, begin to reorient factories, invest capital and, under the compulsion of invested capital, to increase production to the maximum. This process could go well for two, three, four, five years. It could continue to go well, if - corresponding to the rapid increase and improvement of production and its methods - new market possibilities had been created...We see. however, that since the World War a major expansion of world markets no longer took place, quite the opposite, that they relatively shrank in that the number of exporting nations gradually increased and that a number of former export markets became industrialized themselves.

 

Lecture of January 27, 1932 in Dusseldorf


The German automobile industry was itself infected with the view of the luxurious nature of this new means of transportation and expressed this in its production program, constructively and price-wise, more or less unwisely. The German governments, however, for their part endeavored - through measures of taxation as well as the officially directed transportation policy - to convincing prove Marxist principles correct in terms of this new luxury item. These combined efforts had to manage, surely even if slowly, to strangle the distribution and development of the new means of transportation, and they did succeed...If anywhere, then precisely here must the determined attack by the new regiment be set.

 

Speech of March 8, 1934 in Berlin


Only a few months ago did German industry succeed, through the manufacture of a new folk radio, to bring to market and sell an enormous number of radios. I wish to now make it the most important task for the German motor vehicle industry to manufacture more and more vehicles, which will necessarily encompass millions of new buyers.

 

Speech of March 8, 1934 in Berlin


It is... the will of the National Socialist state leadership, through the promotion of motor vehicles, to not only stimulate the economy and give work and bread to hundreds of thousands of people, rather to thereby also provide ever greater masses of our folk with the opportunity to acquire this most modern means of transportation.

 

Speech of March 8, 1934 in Berlin


The German automobile and motorcycle industry has essentially fulfilled the hopes, which were put in them and which had to be put in them.

 

Speech of March 8, 1934 in Berlin


What German industry has accomplished in the years behind us is admirable.

 

Speech of March 8, 1934 in Berlin


In this year and a half we have worked economically; for, if we had not done it, then the chimneys of our factories and workplaces would not again be smoking now.

 

Speech of August 27, 1934 at Ehrenbreitstein


Industries were loosened up, new industries founded.

 

Proclamation of September 5, 1934 in Nuremberg


We want... to put the manufacturer and the factory worker in the position to work as productively as possible, to insofar as possible supply to our land through artificial substitute products that, which it lacks in raw materials.

 

Interview of April 3, 1934 in Berlin
