The economic and social organisation of National Socialist Germany

Abstract

At the outset of this paper I desire to make it clear that I make no claim to originality in so far as the matter contained in it is concerned. In its preparation I have proceeded along the lines which you, as statisticians, call the "Secondary" method in that I have made use of the recorded observations of others as a basis. These observations have come from so many and varied sources that it is impossible to make individual acknowledgment; but I have endeavoured, as a statistician should, to ensure that the material used has a high standard of accuracy and reliability.
