This isn’t totally fallacious. As has been said, the road to World War II was laid out at Versailles. The conditions forced on Germany by the French at the end of WWI were draconian, destroying the economy while looting the Ruhr valley of the industrial capacity Germany had to have to make a dent in the reparations France demanded. While the US, Britain, and other allies backed on the treaty’s demands as it became obvious Germany’s soaring inflation was ruining the country, the French held no such notions.

The almost hopeless economic situation was fertile ground for Hitler’s ascendance. So, yes, in one way, Nazism was a job plan.
