Goebbels, 1897-1945

Goebbels’ German Government, 1945.

People like to claim that the Coronavirus and Fauci’s mitigation measures in the form of masking and lockdowns have never occurred before in history.  Ah, not so fast, Sparky.  The whole concept of “essential workers” is straight out of Nazi Germany, specifically from Herman Goebbels.  See paragraph three in this Wikipedia entry:

In 1943, Goebbels began to pressure Hitler to introduce measures that would produce “total war“, including closing businesses not essential to the war effort, conscripting women into the labor force, and enlisting men in previously exempt occupations into the Wehrmacht.
