Hitler had envisioned housing that would be beautiful, cozy, and on a grand scale. He didn't intend to house the German people as his predecessor had, in rabbit warrens. Those great barracks filled with human beings on the outskirt of labor town filled him with horror. Most of the houses he designed were single story detached dwellings, with a small garden where the kids could romp, the wife could gather a few salad greens, and the man could read his newspaper in peace after his day's work.
Loans amortizable in ten years were granted to newly married couples who wished to settle permanently in their homes. At the birth of each child, a fourth of the debt was canceled. Four children at the normal rate of a new arrival every two years and a half, and the family had no more payments to make.
(Degrelle) expressed (his) astonishment at this to Hitler one day.
"But then, you never get back the total amount of your loans?"
"How so?" he replied, smiling. "Over a period of ten years, a family with four children brings in more than our loans in the taxes levied on a hundred different items of consumption."
Every tax revenue increased proportionately with the increase in the cost of Hitler's social programs. Tax returns quite naturally tripled in a few years.
There was never a financial crisis in Hitler's Germany. . . "
