Would Hitler have been able to deal with the economic downturn?

He was good with money.

Probably in an isolated situation such as the shithole germany was when he began politics.
But not globally.

The economic downturn and global recession wouldn't have come about had Hitler won the war and retained power. 😐

Plus, the only type of Beer around would be German Beer.

Damn, sometimes it seems like Hitler was on to something.

And we'd all speak a little german!
that wouldn't be so bad.

Sure he could. Killing all the Jews takes a lot of people, and that means jobs.

There are some things that are far worse then an economic downturn.

I'm sure he'd have banged his fist on his desk and shouted "Nein! Nein! Nein!" quite a lot.

He would have also promised change. 😉

Nein! Ve vould all speek vith a German accent!

Sure, great way to ramp up the economy. Create a military and murder industry. Confiscate the property of ethnic and political minorities and rip gold from their teeth. Wonderful and fully sustainable as long as you have people to steal from and minorities to murder.

Why so much attention to a thread started by a troll?

Because it is less boring and neutral than most of the moronic threads on this forum. It is though - no less moronic.

Hitler wasn't good with money, Albert Speer was, and yes, he'd be much better than the clowns we have dealing with it now.

Technically, as far as economy goes, Hitler delivered what he promised to Germany.

Nazi Germany was also first country in the world to ban smoking in public places - so there you go, looks like our government learned something from Hitler.
That and the way to generate propaganda.

They paid a lot of attention to Hitler's way of government, when you think about it.

Albert Speer was Hitlers money man. He's responsible for the economy of the third reich.

I heard he killed Jews.

Speer wasn't responsible for pre-war economics of Thrid Reich. 😐 He was an Architect who initially kept the German war machine functioning despite Allied blockade, and MAY have even prolonged the war.

Hitler would have handled all horrible national things (like depression, poverty, etc etc) just the way he handled it before WWII, aka :

1. find an innocent party to blame
2. spread word about "guilty people"
3. up "guilty people taxes," steal from them, destroy any opportunity of escape
4. kill guilty people [or at least the ones that aren't doing hard labor that's needed, but paying them nothing and feeding them nothing, providing barely nothing for housing, you know, typical concentration camp stuff]

collect bounty from dead people's homes.

problem solved.

Speer was in my opinion either the smartest, or 2nd smartest man in the 3rd Reich, along with Himmler. Hitler paled in comparison to these 2.
