The answer is as shocking as it is persuasive. By engaging in a campaign of theft on an almost unimaginable scale—and by channelling the proceeds into generous social programmes—Hitler bought his people's consent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on secret files and financial records, Götz Aly shows that while Jews and people of occupied lands suffered crippling taxation, mass looting, enslavement, and destruction, most Germans enjoyed a much-improved standard of living. Buoyed by the millions of packages soldiers sent from the front, Germans also benefited from the systematic plunder of conquered territory and the transfer of Jewish possessions into their homes and pockets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAny qualms were swept away by waves of government handouts, tax breaks, and preferential legislation. Gripping and significant, \u003ci\u003eHitler's Beneficiaries\u003c\/i\u003e makes a radically new contribution to our understanding of Nazi aggression, the Holocaust, and the complicity of a people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47596586664172,"sku":"9781784786342","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781784786342-hitler-s-beneficiaries.jpg?v=1777931566","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/hitlers-beneficiaries-by-gotz-aly-9781784786342","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
