“Hitler privatized the industries” is ridiculously misleading

A number of historians have concluded that "Hitler privatized the industries" based purely on the fact that he sold some stocks in the companies. Yes, this would make sense in a normal 'market' economy, but in the totalitarian economy of the Third Reich, this wasn't "privatization" in any sense of the word, and this video will explain why. We'll be explaining what the Betriebsgemeinschaft was, the role of the Betriebsführer and Gefolgschaft, as well as show what happened to the Deutsche Bank and the Reichsbahn, Hjalmar Schacht, Fritz Thyssen and Wilhelm Keppler.

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.
