 | | Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, refers to Germany in the years 1933 to 1945, when it was governed by the democratically elected National Socialist German Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, NSDAP), or Nazi Party, with the Führer Adolf Hitler as chancellor and, from 1934, head of state. |
 | | Germany invaded the Soviet Union on 21 June 1941 and on the eve of the invasion, Hitler's former deputy, Rudolf Hess, attempted to negotiate terms of peace with the United Kingdom in an unofficial private meeting after crash-landing in Scotland. |
 | | West Germany recovered economically by the 1960s, being called the economic miracle (German term Wirtschaftswunder), which was kickstarted by the economic aid of the United States of America through the Marshall Plan, and upheld thanks to fiscal policy and intense labor, eventually leading to labor shortages. |
