Economic Uncertainty
As the Depression marched on, Hitler insisted that reparations were the main contributing factor to his country’s inability to move forward and prosper. This poster shows a ward boss or union organizer holding a bag of money that says two billion a year. This was the amount the Young Plan needed to pay in reparations. The caption on the poster urges Germany to halt those payments and give the money those who needed it to survive. Economic uncertainty was a driving force behind Hitler’s rise to power. He may have lost World War II but Hitler proved to be a master manipulator who turned millions of people against the rest of the world in a very short period of time.
