You implication that the german industrialists participation in the defacto nationalization of production was voluntary is simply false.
You stole my car, it wasn't recovered for a year. After its recovery, its still my car therefore I was in control of it the whole year; is simply not an argument.
Nazis came to power in 1933, inflated the currency to provide public works, subsidies and to re arm, the price and wage controls to curtail the inflation were put into place on 1936. WWII started in 1939.
The Great Depression spurred State ownership in
Western capitalist coun
tries. Germany was no
exception; the last governments of the Weimar Republic took over firms in diverse sectors. Later,
the Nazi regime transferred public ownership and
public services to the private sector. In doing
so, they went against the mainstream trends in the Western capitalist countries, none of which
systematically reprivatized firms during the 1930
s. Privatization in Nazi Germany was also
unique in transferring to private hands the delivery of public services previously provided by
government. The firms and the services transferred to private ownership belonged to diverse
sectors. Privatization was part of an intentio
nal policy with multiple objectives and was not
ideologically driven. As in many
recent privatizations, particularly
within the European Union,
strong financial restrictions were
a central motivation. In additio
n, privatization was used as a
political tool to enhance support for the government and for the Nazi Party.
