why did the economy start to fail 

  • did not think war would start until 1941

  • countries like Swizerland and Sweadon sent resources like food to Germany as they were a nuetral country

  • the Nazi soviet pact meant that Russia would send Germany foods such as grain while Germany would send them industrial materials 
  • due to rationing less money was spent which meant more money was in the bank which the Nazis could borrow to finance the war 
  • after operation Barbarossa in Russia Germany aquired a lot of tanks 
  • economic situation and the demands of war lead…
