Nazis Preached That Violence Would Achieve Freedom

The imagery here is very telling. We see a worker, shirt off with pile-driver in his hand about to destroy a building. The message is that Germany had to take their fate into their own hands even through violent action to free themselves from foreign banks. As the country’s efforts to win the war faltered, Hitler and his advisors attempted to convince the German people that they needed to become complete isolationists from the entire world. It’s not uncommon for a dictator to use this methodology to avoid a growing resistance to their plans. Sometimes a very direct message was the best way to get people’s attention.
