Starting in 1933 Hitler began to keep his promise of making Germany a strong country, Hitler began to rearm his kingdom. According to the treat of Versailles, Germany was allowed no more than 100,000 soldiers, no air-force, and a seriously limited navy. To make Germany strong once again Hitler began to rebuild the military in secret. Against the treaty he built 1000 aircraft and trained 200,000 men.
