education, housing, infrastructure, healthcare, etc. Again, only for people that he considered worthy.
I'm Jewish BTW. I don't support Hitler. But you'd have to be ignorant of history not to realize that he did great things for so-called "aryans".
Its important to remember as we see the rise of fascism in many countries right now. We need social programs that benefit all people, not just what your local authoritarian claims to be the "right" citizens
I'm not sure how true that is in terms of housing, healthcare, etc. Do you have any sources?
He did claim to have ended the Great Depression in Germany. While people have pointed to projects like the Autobahn, these projects only had a modest effect on unemployment.
What really brought down unemployment was massive deficit spending on expanding the army / rearmament and combined with conscription.
In addition, women, Jews, etc. were forced out of the workforce.
The problem was this was unsustainable. Nazi Germany began WW2 with a debt to GDP ratio greater than what the USA ended the war with.
It narrowly avoided a balance of payments crisis in 1934.
If it hadn't invaded much of Europe and looted it's wealth, the economy would have collapsed.

I know.
I asked if there were sources on his improvement of social services?
I know the Nazis did cut back on Weimar Republic era house building subsidies.
The common claim is they improved the economy, which I addressed above.
