Re: So if you ever wonder why Germany and Japan became so strong economically thats why
Germany was very definitely NOT economically strong at the start of WW2
Which is one of the probable reasons why Hitler invaded Poland well before his military thought that they were ready - it would have dented his myth of strength if Germany went bankrupt and couldn't feed itself.
Even during the war, the German economy never really went onto a war footing - mostly because they couldn't afford to - all the resources that they gained by invading other countries (including slave labour) didn't make up for the fact that they were living way, way beyond their means.
