Assignment due 3/21

"Just to put things in perspective, the party itself had over a million members at this time, and the unions that were associated with the party had around 2.5 million members. You cannot wage a war without workers in factories producing war materials and had they refused to cooperate Germany would not have been able to wage a war of this magnitude, but in one of the most momentous decisions probably in Germany history the party voted to support the war effort by approving the military’s request for financing, referred to as “war credits”."

This passage speaks about the things that are needed in order to start a war and to keep in going. It is a full time commitment, even the people back at home who are not at war; have to contribute to this cause. It speaks about the important roles that factory workers played back then, and if it wasn't for them; nothing that they had done would of been possible. I chose to write about this particular paragraph because it speaks about the important role that civilians played during the war and how many things would not have been possible if it wasn't for them. Another reason why I chose this passage is because I was in the military myself, and the civilians played an amazing role when it came to providing us with food, supplies, equipment ect. I appreciated everything they did for us , because of there help we were successful in many ways. I don't know much about politics, but when it comes to providing soldiers with what they need; they are very successful in that way. Back then the military was there main priority, and today they government and there politics try to help the military as much as possible; therefore I believe that they have that in common. They both help there military as much as possible and they make them there priorities.
