This whole work for peace, my fellow-countrymen, is no mere empty phrase, but this work is reinforced through deeds which no lying mouth can destroy.” -Hitler

With Germany lacking colonies, Hitler consolidated the Reich’s commercial position on the continent, focusing on the southeastern European market. This coincided with his intention to regain frontier provinces of Germany proper, some with valuable industry, which the Versailles construction took from the Reich and awarded to neighboring states. Italy, France, Belgium, Denmark, Lithuania, Poland, and Czechoslovakia now controlled territories populated by ethnic Germans, whose loss weakened Germany.

The diplomatic question that received Hitler’s initial priority was national security.  Article 160 of the treaty stated that the armed forces, the “Reichswehr”, may be deployed “exclusively for maintaining order within German territory and as border police.”  The Allies therefore denied Germany the right to protect her frontiers from foreign aggression.

The lack of adequate defense forces had already caused negative consequences for the Reich.

When the Germans fell 1.6 percent behind on the crippling reparations payments to France, the French & Belgian armies militarily occupied the Ruhr industrial region of Germany in January 1923.

The governments of Germany and Austria arranged to form a customs union in 1931.  The elimination of tariffs would boost commerce between the two countries and lessen the economic distress, particularly in Austria.  France interpreted this “fearsome bloc” of her former antagonists as a violation of the Treaty of St. Germaine, which forbade Austria to become part of the Reich.  Paris threatened to boycott German wares, and initiate price wars to disrupt continental trade.  Possessing the largest army in Europe, France was in a position to dictate terms without arbitration.

The incident demonstrated that without armed forces, Germany and Austria would remain unable to conduct an independent foreign policy.

The League of Nations had been holding preliminary talks for several years in preparation for a universal disarmament conference scheduled for 1932.

The disarmament conference opened in Geneva, Switzerland, in February 1932.  Germany, a member of the League since 1927, demanded “military parity” with the other European powers.  Delegates debated the issue for over four months without any progress.

When Hitler became chancellor in January 1933, he inherited a military establishment whose ordnance (artillery) department had recently estimated that there was only enough ammunition stockpiled for “one hour” of combat.

In the Reichstag on May 17, 1933, Hitler publicly responded, “Germany would be ready without delay to disband her entire military establishment, and destroy what little remains of her arsenal, if the other nations involved will do the same.  But if the other states are unwilling to implement the conditions of disarmament the peace treaty of Versailles obligates them to, then Germany must at least insist on her right to parity… Germany therefore agrees (British ‘Macdonald plan’) in essence to accept a transitional period of five years for the establishment of her national security, in the expectation that Germany’s equal footing with the other states will result.”

During a recess at Geneva, French statesmen conducted confidential deliberations with England and the United States regarding the MacDonald plan.  Supported by the French press, Paris advocated a minimum four year period   before even initiating multilateral disarmament.  The German army, they recommended, should be restructured, replacing the present system of long-term enlistments with an active duty tour of eight months for every soldier.  Under this arrangement, the Germany’s armed forces would forfeit in less than a year its professional officer corps and NCO cadre of instructors.  On October 7, the German government announced its acceptance of the proposal.

The Reich agreed not to develop offensive weapons such as heavy artillery, bombers and heavy tanks.  With the exception of a demand for modern defensive weaponry, Hitler voluntarily agreed to the reshaping of his country’s armed forces by a foreign power.

The following week, a British delegate, announced revisions to the MacDonald plan based on consultation with other nations.  He extended the original five-year disarmament period, which Hitler had already accepted, to eight years.

The new arrangement expressly forbade all signatories from producing more weapons.  The Germans therefore would not have the right to sufficiently arm the additional 100,000 soldiers the plan allowed for.  Germany withdrew from the conference the same day, and from the League of Nations.

We do not belong to the League of Nations because we believe that it is not an institution of justice but an institution for defending the interests of Versailles. There are more than 10,000,000 Germans in States adjoining Germany which before 1865 were joined to the bulk of the German nation by a national link. Until 1918 they fought in the Great War shoulder to shoulder with the German soldiers of the Reich. Against their own free will they were prevented by peace treaties from uniting with the Reich.” -Hitler

Despite the concessions Hitler had offered, he reaped harsh criticism from the Jewish-controlled international press.

Explaining Germany’s withdrawal from Geneva on October 14, Hitler reminded his countrymen how the Allies had pledged in their own peace treaty to reduce their military establishments.  “Our delegates were then told by official representatives of the other states in public speeches & direct declarations that at the present time, Germany could no longer be granted equal rights.”  The Fuhrer maintained that “the German people and their government were repeatedly humiliated” during the negotiations.  He concluded that this “world peace, so ultimately necessary for us all, can only be achieved when the concepts of victor and vanquished are supplanted by the loftier vision of the equal right to life for everyone.”

Conscious of the gravity of this foreign policy decision, Hitler presented it to the German public for approval.

Hitler asked Reich’s President, Paul von Hindenburg, to authorize new parliamentary elections coupled with a referendum on Geneva.  The Fuhrer repeated his position on the League of Nations to employees of the Siemens factory in Berlin on November 10, and the national radio broadcasted the speech.

In the referendum two days later, 95 percent of German voters endorsed their chancellor’s break with Geneva.

We may be isolated, but dishonored… never! I would prefer not to enter into agreements which I must purchase at the price of my honor; and when they say ‘But then you will be isolated,’ then I declare I would rather be isolated with honor, than be tolerated without honor.” -Hitler

Even after leaving the League of Nations that October, Hitler still sought rapprochement.  In January 1934, he petitioned Geneva to approve a 300,000-man army for his country.  The British government asked him to settle for a force somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 instead.  Hitler agreed.  France’s foreign minister, Jean-Louis Barthou, insisted that the SA be counted as part of Germany’s army.  The Fuhrer expressed willingness to eliminate the SA’s paramilitary structure.  He stood firm for an air force, but pledged not to expand its size beyond 50 percent of that of France.  He completely renounced German development of bombers.  Hitler was content to wait five years for the Great Powers to begin arms reduction, if France would accept the proposals.

Many prominent Frenchmen endorsed the compromise.  However, on April 17, 1934, France’s foreign minister, Barthou, issued an official reply to the British mediation plan and Hitler’s offer, “The French government formally refuses to allow Germany to rearm…. From now on, France will guarantee her security through her own resources.”  This caused the collapse of the Geneva disarmament conference.
