You're posting Wikipedia about Germany as if that's going to prove anything. At best they're good for neutral topics only. For example: >>but this was largely due to employees working longer hours Germany had massive unemployment before Hitler, extremely low unemployment after him >>During the 1930s, Nazi Germany increased its military spending faster than any other state in peacetime They were starting with the smallest military per capita in all of Europe. They had no navy, no air force, and 100,000 men in all forms of the army. Poland's military dwarfed theirs, as of course did France's, England's, and the Soviets. If military spending is what leads to wealth, the USSR would have been the richest nation in the world, as it had about 10 times as many tanks as Germany had, and the UK would have had no Great Depression due to its large navy and bomber fleet. >>The Nazis believed in war as the primary engine of human progress, and argued that the purpose of a country's economy should be to enable that country to fight and win wars of expansion Citation needed. The source listed was Adam Tooze's The Wages of Destruction, which he dedicated to his grandpa who was a British spy for the Soviet Union, the largest military in the world and by far the most genocidal regime in modern history. The book seems to be written to prop up the idea of Germany as having prospered through military buildup alone. Rather than posting the primary source, all links go through court historians like them. For another example, they uncritically cite William L. Shirer, who even mainstream historians reject for including too many proven lies in his book.
