"However, Hitler's interpretations of this idea produced two separate and almost incompatible conclusions: On the one hand, Hitler believed that history was shaped by a violent struggle between nations and races, and that a nation needed to be united under a strong, centralized state led by an heroic leader in order to succeed in this struggle. On the other hand, Hitler also believed that individuals within a nation battled with each other for survival, and that such ruthless competition was good for the health of the nation, because it promoted "superior individuals" to higher positions in society.
Pre-war economy: 1933-1939"
i dont think those ideologies are incompatible, and infact thats how life has been for a very very long time.. why would someone write that this idea is incompatible?? imagine a family of 5 brothers, they are all united as a family, but always competing with each other for school marks, sports attention. etc etc i insist this be edited to a NPOV or less PC POV please
intro paragraph
I have removed the following from the first paragraph of the article: "...and when every German knew that he or she had to begin life all over again." It merely contributes no new information and seems way too theatrical and sweeping for an encyclopedic writeup. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.246.208.193 (talk) 12:31, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
Trade Unions
I thought the trade unions were essentially Nazified not abolished. I read that they became organs of the party and state propaganda machine and lost their independence but not outright abolished. A similar policy employed by Communist dictatorships.Stamos1981 (talk) 14:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
German Labor Front
The Nazis created the German Labor Front that did control workers and prevent strikes but also had some form of heavily beaurocratic collective bargaining (essentially not directly elected representatives) that made the workers dismissal much harder and created various workers benefits. So this article needs to be edited at some point. If you type in German Labor front on wikipedia there is even an article there about that organization.Stamos1981 (talk) 14:09, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
Incorrect
"The proportion of military spending in the German economy began growing rapidly after 1942, as the Nazi government was forced to dedicate more and more of the country's economic resources to fight a losing war. Civilian factories were converted to military use and placed under military administration. By late 1944, almost the entire German economy was dedicated to military production. At the same time, Allied bombings were destroying German factories and cities at a rapid pace, leading to the final collapse of the German war economy in 1945 (Stunde Null)."
This isn't right. Allied air raids did not cause any significant damage on the German industry. It actually grew, not collapse. It's generally agreed that strategic bombing was a failure in pretty much every aspect. So how about some sources to back that statement up, yeah? >_>
...although, I could be wrong. Either way, I want a source. Astroview120mm (talk) 06:56, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Lots of repetition
Just reading through the article you can see many sentences are written twice (perhaps in slightly different forms) and many are directly copied from http://econ161.berkeley.edu/TCEH/Slouch_Purge15.html.
