What promise did Hitler make to unemployed people?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: To provide work and bread
During the economic crisis of the early 1930s, unemployment and poverty caused widespread anxiety in Germany. Hitler appealed to unemployed workers and struggling families by promising “work and bread,” meaning employment, economic recovery and the possibility of a more secure life. Therefore option D is correct. The promise was politically effective because it offered a simple answer to people facing insecurity, even though Nazi economic policies were also connected with rearmament, coercion and the suppression of workers’ organisations. Options A, B and C do not answer the material needs of unemployed people and were not the central promise in this context. The question tests how economic hardship helped the Nazis attract popular support.
