A central promise of the government under Adolf Hitler was to overcome mass unemployment. NS propaganda films were to mount support to this end, but above all prove success: AUS DER TIEFE EMPOR (1934) celebrates the upswing brought about by various job-creation measures. KAMPF UM BROT (1936) pays tribute to the labor service in the frame of land reclamation. ARBEIT UND WEHR (1936) praises job-creation measures and arming without connecting the two. Finally, in EINER VON VIELEN (1936), the job-creation lottery not only brings employment but also great luck to ordinary people. (Detlev Humann)
