Hitler delegated responsibility for economic recovery to Hjalmar Schacht, an economist who aspired for full output and full employment through a state-funded work-creation programme. 2. Hitler was also an early success in foreign policy. He withdrew from the League of Nations in 1933, reoccupied the Rhineland in 1936, and united Austria and Germany in 1938 under the motto "One People, One Empire, One Leader." 3. He then wrested German-speaking Sudentenland from Czechoslovakia and devoured the entire nation. In all of this, he had the silent backing of England, which thought the Versailles decision was too severe. These fast achievements at home and abroad appeared to turn the country's fortunes around. 4. Hitler chose war as a means of avoiding the impending economic catastrophe. Resources were to be amassed through territorial expansion. Germany attacked Poland in September 1939. This triggered a war between France and England. In September 1940, Germany, Italy, and Japan formed the Tripartite Pact, bolstering Hitler's claim to world authority. 5. Hitler was now on his way to completing his long-term goal of conquering Eastern Europe. He wanted to guarantee that Germans had food and a place to live.

Hitler made a historic error by exposing the German western front to British aircraft bombardment and the eastern front to overwhelming Soviet forces.
