BOOK REVIEW: EXCERPT LIFE IN THE REICH by MIKE WALSH: As elsewhere in the developing world, the Weimar Republic had a motor manufacturing industry.

The Weimar Republic was Germany’s notorious regime from 1918 to relief in 1933, named after the town of Weimar, where its new constitution was drafted. 

It was a constitutional democracy that arose after the collapse of the German monarchy and World War I, characterized by political turmoil, economic instability, including hyperinflation

A flourishing and internationally notorious subculture, and ultimately, the conditions that allowed the rise to legitimate power of the National Socialist German Workers Party.

Before the election of Adolf Hitler, this industry was financed by the banking houses.

This had the effect of raising the selling price of the vehicles whilst reducing profitability and therefore opportunities for investment.

The price per automobile would be between 1,350 and 1,600 Reichsmarks. Hitler considered these prices to be extortionate for the aforesaid reasons.

Hitler proposed the building of a new and modern automobile for the ordinary workers. Dr Porsche and Adolf Hitler worked together on the design of the Volkswagen.

This vehicle, in every respect, was revolutionary and innovative and was so advanced that ninety years on, the models designed and manufactured retain much of their original character.

Volkswagen was a far better-designed car than its British, French and American counterparts. Bolshevik Russia didn’t have a domestic auto manufacturing industry and was wholly dependent upon the Ford Motor Company, Caterpillar and brands such as Studebaker.

Ironically, the Soviet economy (workers’ paradise) was dependent upon American and European Jewish-owned banking houses. Perhaps this will concentrate the mind to explain the Capitalist / Communist alliance against Hitler’s Germany.

LEFT: Life in the Reich, the German rail services were far ahead of their counterparts in the non-National Socialist World

At that time, a Volkswagen car could be purchased for 995 Reichsmarks. This cost was underwritten by the National Socialist state and could be paid off in small instalments.

In order to keep Germany independent of international finance houses, German chemists manufactured tires from domestically available materials, chiefly coal, by means of polymerisation.

The Buna Works in Merseburg was built specifically for this purpose. Tires made of artificial rubber were also stronger than those made of natural rubber.

Again, the banking conglomerates and ruling elite who owned shares in these industries were eliminated as useless middlemen.

Cars also need gasoline (petrol), which is a distilled imported petroleum product.

LIFE IN THE REICH Click Picture for insider details:

Oil products could only be purchased from American-owned sources with U.S. dollars. Due to the sanctions imposed on the Reich, German ingenuity and enterprise produced gasoline from coal liquefaction.

Thus was the origin of the Leuna Works at Merseburg, which, after the war, was plundered by the victorious Allies. Today, the Republic of South Africa produces gasoline by these same techniques. The inventors were the chemists, Fischer and Tropsch. You can and should share this story on social media: TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

LIFE IN THE REICH Mike Walsh: FORBIDDEN HISTORY: The standard of living in Hitler’s Third Reich was far superior to that elsewhere in the developed world. German workers enjoyed a lifestyle comparable to that of movie stars. Germany led the world in fashion, medicine, cinema, lifestyle, manufacturing, transport infrastructure, public facilities, cutting-edge science, healthcare and education. Amazon removed Life in the Reich because it dared to show Hitler’s Germany as it was and not as the propagandists would have us believe it was.
