Introduction to Workers in Nazi Germany

During Nazi rule, workers were subjected to extensive propaganda promoting the idea of a 'Volksgemeinschaft' (people's community). The regime claimed to improve workers' lives through measures such as the Strength Through Joy program, which aimed to provide leisure activities and boost morale. However, in reality, workers faced increased control, restrictions on rights, and the suppression of independent trade unions.
