This was originally a response, but it serves as discussion material.
No, Hitler did not eliminate unemployment. The National Socialist state merely absorbed unemployment artificially through a rearmament program. Why artificially? The state would have to sustain a high level of military production indefinitely because the unemployment plan was based on rearmament for a future war; if this high level of military production were to stop, unemployment would return to its initial state. Added to this were many other factors, such as mounting debt and rising public spending because this just kept increasing and increasing. Military spending is government spending; heavy industry was directing all its resources toward rearmament. Who were they selling their production to? The state…
What I mentioned about artificially absorbing unemployment also applies to any other situation, regardless of the country, where the state attempts to create jobs; it doesn’t work because these are artificial structures that depend on things like public spending—without it, they collapse and unemployment returns
