Alexander Donges: Die Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG im Dritten Reich.

Unternehmerisches Handeln unter den Rahmenbedingungen der nationalsozialistischen Wirtschaftsordnung

The aim of this project is a historical study on the business policy of the Vereinigte Stahlwerke AG (United Steelworks Corp.) in the Third Reich. Created by a merger of several steel and black coal mining companies of the German Ruhr district in 1926, the trust became the leading German iron and steel producer in the 1930s. It will be shown how far corporate freedom of action was restricted by the economic authorities of the regime, and to what extent the management was still able to pursue corporate strategies based on long-term profit expectations. Thus it represents a contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature of the economic system in National Socialist Germany.
