IRL 5

http://www.schoolshistory.org.uk/gcse/germany/economy.htm

This a commercial academic resource that details the Nazi economic policy. It connects to the ideas we had in class about the goals of the German economy, as well as the effects. It adds more detail by saying what was successful and unsuccessful about the economy, and compares the stated goals with actual outcome. The source is heavily influenced by the author's view and is not written "factually" at all, which provides an insight but also bias. The top of the page is filled with advertisements and the links at the bottom seem to be commercial as well. However, the site is generally education-based and the ending is .org, so it is still a viable source.
