Successes and Limitations of Total War

Advantages

  • Ammunition production up 97%
  • Tank Production up 25%
  • Peaked at 1944

Disadvantages

  • Didn't reach full potential, could have reached similar outputs to USA/U**R
  • Not always able to control Gauliters
  • ** remained a law to themselves
  • 1943 blanket bombing ----> Industrial destruction and breakdown of communications, prevented Germany increasing arms production further

Evaluation

An improvement on the early years, but ultimately lost the war due to being short on oil, steel and food. Then had "no choice" but to face the Soviets in the East to find resources, but this also ended up being a costly war.
