From the outset of Hitler's chancellorship, his government prioritized tariffs, particularly to satisfy agricultural demands, which led to drastic economic consequences. Hitler's lack of economic understanding and reliance on figures like Gottfried Feder fueled a decline in the German economy with notable inflation spikes, like the 600 percent increase in egg prices. His unique and aggressive economic tactics, including the scapegoating of Jewish communities, showcased a dangerous blend of nationalism and ignorance that would significantly shape German policy during this era.
"Hitler's economic agenda was plagued by tariffs and a misunderstanding of economics, worsening the financial situation and contributing to inflation in Germany."
"Speeches from Nazi leaders underscored their intent to prioritize agriculture over industry, despite the broader economic implications that arise from such protectionist policies."
