Bedtime Story
Hans Bethe faces the 1933 Civil Service Law
In 1932 Hans Bethe took up the post of assistant professor at the University of Tubingen where Hans Geiger was the professor of experimental physics.
Very soon as per the new government orders (2 months after Adolf Hitler came to power), Hans was asked to relinquish his post.
The purpose of this new law was to "nationalize" the civil services.
In effect, any tenured civil servant who was not of Aryan descent had to immediately resign.
Soon this law would expand and apply to all the professionals throughout the country, whether government or private.
Geiger did little to support him.
Hans Bethe forced to resign returned to Sommerfeld asking him for help.
Sommerfeld spent that entire summer of 1932 trying to find positions for his Jewish students and colleagues.
He would fail of course.
German laws contrary to Indian laws are actually enforced and executed.
Hans Bethe like many other great Jewish minds realized quickly that his days in Germany are numbered.
Not only did Hitler's vitriolic speeches mesmerized the masses but even the economic policies of the Nazi Party was transforming German lives with unemployment falling faster than any other nation after the Great Depression.
This is what a German youth had to say on the effect that Adolf Hitler's speeches had on the masses:
"We would erupt into a frenzy of nationalistic pride that bordered on hysteria.
For minutes on end, we shouted at the top of our lungs, with tears streaming down our faces: Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil, Sieg Heil!
From that moment on, I belonged to Adolf Hitler, body and soul."
Employment was largely created with deficit spending and by bringing into circulation promissory notes called the Mefo Bills which in a manner of speaking was equivalent to creating money out of thin air.
Governments specially capitalistic ones have often devised ingenious ways of creating money out of nothing such as future borrowings, government bonds and bills, IOUs and what not.
At times even loaned money or debt itself has been used to create money under fanciful names such as debt restructuring.
Whether such means of creating money is legal or a financial crime depends on who does it, on what scale it is done and how much muscle power is backing it up.
So obviously if it was the German Central Bank President who issued the Mefo Bills instead of spending the limited available Reichsmark, it was deemed a legal fraud.
Whatever it was, by 1938 unemployment in the Nazi Germany was history.

Good night mon ami and my fellow cousin ape.
The 1933 Law for the Reestablishment of the Civil Service made all Jews unemployable
The masses were mesmerized and stood in awe of this man who had returned to them not only their jobs but a long lost pride and dignity
