Such a title and subject is enough to fill volumes. Germany under the Nazis in my opinion was a mixed bag. Many did benefit and many suffered. What I think here is what would the world have been like if Germany ultimately won the war along with Japan? Germany would definitely have benefited greatly as long as you were Aryan and not Jewish, Christian, Homosexual or crazy.

In 1933, when Adolf Hitler, "the Little Corporal," won the Chancellery of Germany, he immediately vowed to end Germany's suffering. He was looking to do this in many ways. One was to improve the military first and foremost and then using the military, destroy those who were considered rich, extremely educated and those who appeared to be better off than others. He created the Nazi Party to rule with the most incredible iron fist he knew. His military officers and SS Officers as long as they were loyal to him, benefited greatly. They had the freedoms to do what they pleased. Under the Final Solution, his henchmen had the most freedom as long as they murdered as well as transported Jews, Christians and Homosexuals off to the many death camps created throughout Central and Eastern Europe. The Final Solution was one of the most horrific times in history and we cannot and should not allow it to repeat itself.

As Germany began to rebuild its military might, the people began to have hope. They were believing everything that was being told to them by Hitler and his propaganda machine that it was easy to follow him. The Jewish people as well as hundreds of thousands of others did what they could to escape the Nazi fury but found this difficult as the world fell limp to their plight. After all was said and done, the world found a devastated Germany, a dead Chancellor, and millions of dead and dying people who were definitely in the wrong place at the most definitely wrong time.

I truly believe that there were absolutely no real benefits under Nazi rule. There definitely was great suffering and this no doubt should be recorded for all time, so, like I wrote earlier, there is no more similar suffering.
