Read the full account

On 7 April 1933 the civil-service law authorised dismissal of Jews and political opponents from public service. It is a dated statute. Adolf Hitler's documented role is: His cabinet issued the law. Frick's Interior Ministry administered; Hindenburg's veteran exception is a neighbouring limit, later removed.

Context

Aryan paragraphs spread to other professions. Sharing administration with Frick is required. The front-fighter exception was later hollowed out. The setting of The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service purges Jews and political opponents is the public file around 1933-04-07. Driver protection-of-minority-rights is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of The Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service purges Jews and political opponents. Naming Adolf Hitler does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1933-04-07 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
