Why did the people of Germany love the Fuhrer?

Germany, under the Nazis in the 1930s, is described by Norah Waln, an American living in the country at the time. The clip highlights that one of the main reasons behind the German support for Hitler was his ability to solve the problem of unemployment through work programmes. Figures for unemployment for the 1930s are used to illustrate the points, along with Norah's descriptions and contemporary newsreels. The clip culminates in the idea that the Nazis promoted the enjoyment of work and the giving of one's self to the greater good of the Reich.
