About life in the US when we started the Knauz Dealerships
1934 saw the turning point in the great depression in America with unemployment decreasing to 22%. But in other parts of the world some of the political changes occurring would cause the next world war, in Germany Adolf Hitler declared himself the fuehrer (ultimate ruler), in Russia Stalin began his massacres and in China Mao Tse-Tung spread the communist doctrine. The further weather drought problems in the US Midwest continued in 1934 and some 35 million acres of farmland were utterly destroyed and a further 225 million acres were in danger. The president set up public works around the US including bridges, roads and flood control Dams in an attempt to put America back on its feet. The FBI had considerable success ending the careers with celebrity criminals and John Dillinger, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, Pretty Boy Floyd and Baby Face Nelson.
