Did Germans Benefit Under Nazi Rule?

I have been asked to evaluate did Germans benefit from Nazi Rule. I’m thinking the big businesses and the middle classes almost definitely did, the workers didn’t benefit because as the war progressed is it fair to say that the workers work hours increased and pay really wasn’t that good?

You've made a pretty good start on your thinking for this.
Hours for workers srated to increase before the war. Thats one of the draw backs of the economic recovery. The war abviously put a further strain on working conditions.
Other economic trends you may want to consider:
Employment figures - better or worse?
Average wages - did they go up / down?
Luxury goods - were they available / affordable?
Working conditions - things like holidays, hours etc. did they improve?
Also bear in mind that there are other things that could be included. Law and Order is important to consider - did people feel safer? Have a look at this revision diagram to get a few more ideas.
