  1. Prior to Speer: the German war economy is a SPECIALIST and HIGHLY TECHNICAL war economy geared for a RAPID LIMITED war lasting at most six months. AFTER Speer the German war economy became total, geared for a long term war of attrition in very unfavorable circumstances.

  3. one big diff between WWI & 2. Hitler knew to fight the war he would require domestic support and thus didn't skimp on plundering everyone else to feed the germans. except for the absence of coffee (nigh non existent) and tobacco (reserved for frontsoldaten) civilian life in the reich was sweet all the way into 1945. It's only around February/March 1945 that the domestic civilian consumer economy starts to crack. 3 months later they would know half as bad what they imposed on everyone else.

  4.  @bludfyre  Yes, that is part of it. Believe it or not the Germans in 1939 didn't want to go to war. Getting the German populace to actuall go all in on the war was a stepwise process, ever larger commitments. Even then there were plenty of war skeptics. It's basically wishful thinking: Germany could only fight a short sharp decisive war so that was what they prepared for and fought, but then biting off more than they could chew led to history in your time line which i am desperately trying to change oh god they have discovered me no No NO NOOOOOO!!!!!!!! ..

  5. yes, germany was a militarized society as of 1933 but the idea was to take military structures and apply them to the problems of economic collapse / depressionn / unemployment / inflation. of course the nazis intended all along that these would eventually become fighting units...

  6. You must love your work even more than your broken heart. You are now something of a hero. Herzlichen Beileid.

  7. Hitler knew Britain would fight ... eventually. All the rest was window dressing to forestall that day as long as possible and IF POSSIBLE to ally with Britain against the USSR. When that was not possible Molotov Ribbentorp pact and the rest is literally history

  8. when a country debt defaults no one will lend it anything so it can't buy things and people lose their jobs go hungry and rebel. defaulting is no easy thing.

  9.  @TheImperatorKnight  the more factors are: a slave economy plundering corpses can't work once its exterminated all the slaves.

  10.  @tihomirrasperic  I am not saying you are wrong but i never heard this before and speak Russian and German fluently. Do you have a source for this claim?

  11. well, really it was more like this "hey, we have full unemployment. put a uniform on everyone" that's a far cry from thousands of panzers and aircraft just raring to go. It was organized on military principles with military aims but lacked lots of technical means. The nazis didn't merely plunder foodstuffs art and jewels they ALSO plundered weaponry and munitions at each and every opportunity.

  12. plenty of germans wound up murdered or put into concentration camps by nazis. these are the people stalin was talking about when Stalin said that the nazis destroyed their very best people.

  13. Most of the prewar military production was in fact planning and prototypes. Partly because no one knew for sure what would work, so have a half dozen designs available on paper and then build a few and then ramp up which ever works. Hennce 4 panzer models. (Pz I trainer prototype II and III variants of MBT IV as an infantry support tank II is also a fast scout tank). Can do this for all arms, airplanes boats, you kname it.

  14.  @TheImperatorKnight  You are literally the only person claiming Hitler thought the economy to require autarky, yet that his autarky cannot work.

  15.  @planet_69  plus it's probably his second language. cut some slack u can't even spell Britain lol ;) pot+kettle ftw!

  16. well, many have pointed out that prior to Goebbels "Wollet Ihr Totaler Krieg" speech that the German economy wasn't optimized for a long term war of attrition, but instead had a highly specialized war economy with a grotesquely large civilian consumer sector stuffed to the gills with plunder. Which is the case.

  17. Look at Czechoslovakia, they gave up Bohemia, then hitlre took the rest. If poland just gave up danzig six months later a fake atrocity and invasion to root out those evil you know whose in warsaw

  18. Hitler was in fact really a wombat with mind control powers who hypnotized the good germans into believing him a man. Just checking if you read this. Cou cou ca youknowho. It's not so much madman hitler as four legs versus two.

  19. The German economy was the most well organized plundering in history.

  22. indeed is spelled that way. i don't care, you might.

  23. In TIKs presentation of Hitler's view autarky must fail because per TIK Hitler believes the economy to be "zero sum", that its all about distribution of an existing pie, and not about making more pies. Basically per TIK if Hitler gets his autarky kills all the jews redistributes all the slavs and jews slav labor corpseproduct there is no one left to redistribute and, per hitlers' logic as describe by TIK the ponzi scheme of rob rape plunder and kill must collapse in internal strife like coups and factional scheming among SS/SA/RSHA/Todt/LSAH/HJ etc.

  24.  @jakman2179  no need to argue trade is more efficient, but TIK's view is that Hitler felt trade destructive.

  25.  @Alex_Fahey  you accurately restate what TIK said but i've never seen any sources for his opinions in primary or secondary literature.

  26.  @Alex_Fahey  omfg are you stupid? 1. I did no tknow he includes citations because 2. I'm half blind. Maybe just maybe quit presuming Other people are Liars and in Bad Faith because that ugly little presumption of yours WILL be interpreted by others as a reflection of your own character (or lack thereof).

  27.  @Alex_Fahey  "Can't wait to see" there. I quoted you out of context. Now at least what you wrote actually fits the issue at hand.

  28.  @Alex_Fahey  Likewise, stupid, you ought to figure out before leaping off a cliff of presumptions in simp defense o wite knight: When I say he is the only one saying something it does NOT mean he is wrong and CAN be a compliment. You are probably a very uglly mean spirited pig of a man.

  29.  @Oberkommando  sure, a victorisou Grossdeutsches Reich has all the resources it needs. Too bad it murdered off all its slave laborers. Guess it's time to start in on the proles!

  34.  @Oberkommando  I was explaining why even if they had attained their resource goals their system would still have collapsed. See also: counter-factual conditional.

  35.  @Oberkommando  You do understand that had hitler conquered all the lands needed for resource autarchy he would also have continued exterminating their inhabitants till none were left, yes?
    1
  36.  @Oberkommando  Yes, Hitler absolutely intended to kill off ALL the Jews and all the slavs too. Just read Mein Kampf, idk why you even want to dispute this obvious point what with literally millions of dead Jews and millions more dead Slavs.

  37.  @Oberkommando  you're either ignorant or lying there's not much ground for you to stand on which isn't ending in you are a nazi.

  38.  @Oberkommando  No, I didn't read the entirety of your wall of text. You're making such an obviously wrong argument why even bother? It's like sorting through shit hoping to find kernels of corn.
    1
  39.  @Oberkommando  because he wanted them dead AFTER he had Used them for labor. I'm not sure what part of "Hitler intentionally killed well over 10 million civilians" can't get through your boneheaded skull.

  40.  @Oberkommando  yep! what little bullshit of yours i cringed through was pretty obviously that of a fascist simp. and wrong.

  41. Why would anyone be surprised to see Elon Musk, a Jewish finance capitalist, watching and commenting on an insightful economic analysis of the nazi war machine? I literally went to school with him, am a China expert, and that's where Tesla is building its cars. It's not unthinkable, plus the troll factor is lol. FWIW a lot of South Africans went there. Eventually he will run for political office.

  42. 1945 was pretty much all a blurry haze all i remember i was really drunk and some hobo in the corner was raving on about TIK WIT' TANKS. TIK WIT' TANKS! TIK WIT' TANKS！！

  43. Hitler knew the British would go to war. They are the finance capital banker wing of the you know whoish communist bankers conspiracy. He also thought he could delay their entry and even play them off against their bolshevik coreligionists.

  44.  @planet_69  we all start ignorant for all you know he's literally 12.

  45. so for example the nazi Arbeiter front was workers organized exactly as a military armed literally with shovels and dispatched to works sites. these self same units would later with more equipment expand into reserve infantry units then when war came would be activated. a dual purpose war economy that. similarly with VW aka Kubelwagen, JU 52 transports aks bombers. etc. etc.
