    Only after elected they absorb the union into the state. Before elections the Nazis backed many of the unions.

      well no, the Nazis paid lip service to “workers” in general but literally got into bloody (as in armed paramilitary) conflicts with unions (Iron Front vs. SA) for years before the complete takeover of the government, after the takeover of the government almost all union organizers got sent to the concentration camps as political prisoners because “they were all Marxists”, the Nazis then replaced the unions with the German Labor Front (DAF), an organization that existed to keep the worker in his place, going as far as to literally take money from the workers to pay for building new production lines.

      so, no, they did not absorb the unions, and they definitely didn’t back the unions, unless you call strike-breaking with a machine gun “backing”

        Yes, they had a ton of conflict with the more liberal unions, but they also organized Nazi aligned unions. They were not very successful at recruiting members to them but they tried to. Also, occasionally they cooperated with communist unions.

        the Nazis then replaced the unions with the German Labor Front (DAF)

        Yes, absorption? As in unions used to be allowed to exist as independent entities, then workers were forced to join the state “union”

        unless you call strike-breaking with a machine gun “backing”

        Source on Nazi strike breaking before 1932/3?

        No? I don’t generally agree with how a lot of people group the right, the Nazis were a lot closer to the Soviets than they were capitalists. Furthermore, I didn’t say they were pro every Union, I said they supported unions that supported them.

      This is blatantly ahistorical and you’d almost have to deliberately keep yourself ignorant to think this.

        The KPD leadership initially first criticised but then supported the 1931 Prussian Landtag referendum, an unsuccessful attempt launched by the far-right Stahlhelm to bring down the social democrat state government of Prussia by means of a plebiscite; the KPD referred to the SA as “working people’s comrades” during this campaign.

        In November 1932, the KPD and the Nazis worked together in the Berlin transport workers’ strike.

        They had an entire organization for infiltrating unions to try to get support

        The NSBO had overall little success among German organized workers, except in certain regions where they supported strikes, such as the 1932 Berlin transport strike.

        Almost like exactly what I said.

          My guy, your source proves my point, not yours, even by your own summary of it. If you were capable of feeling ashamed of yourself, now would be a great time to do so.
