FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): Hitler had a few main ideas to start off how he would help recover the German economy which the author lists " Full employment - the idea that everyone should have a job. By 1939, there was virtually no unemployment in Germany. Beauty of Work - the Nazis set up the SdA (Beauty of Work) to help Germans see that work was good, and that everyone who could work should. In fact - because the Nazis had abolished the trade unions, banned strikes, and given more power to the industrialists - real wages fell and hours were longer under Hitler. Re-armament begun in 1935 - the idea of 'guns before butter'"(POV).

There soon was no unemployment "Everybody had a job, and a wage. To people who had been unemployed and starving, 'work and bread' was a wonderful blessing worth every civil liberty they lost" (POV).

LIfe became more advanced for the German people "The autobahns improved transport and travel" (POV).

The services improved under Hitler's rule and "People appreciated the public works - eg new schools and hospitals" (POV).

People now felt safe as "The streets were safe and there was no crime" (POV).

Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION): 

The author gives and lists all the positive economic policies that helped Germany under Nazi rule. It also provided few negative aspects, such as the economic programmes that failed but that did no damage to hurt the  German economy either. The author also gave descriptions on what the programmes and policies were and explained how each benefitted the economy as well.
Credibility of Source: 
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site? 

The author is anonymous and the site is BBC, which is the world's leading public service broadcaster. Its mission is to enrich people's lives with programmes that inform, educate, and entertain.

Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business? 

The site has alot of educational links on all sorts of history and education.

Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing? 

There is a bias due to the fact that the author focuses much more on the positive aspects and positive benefits of Hitler's economic policies under his Nazi rule.

References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility? 

The author does not cite anyone which may cause their argument to be not as strong as they would like.

Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project? 

I plan to use this source to make my argument stronger on how Hitler only wanted to do good not only for the German people but for the rest of the Europe and the World as well. And to provide hard evidence that lists all the beneficial programmes and economic policies that Hitler passed under his rule.
