Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan were richer than any African country will EVER be.

Huh?
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan fostered political beliefs that quickly expressed itself in military action. That military action caused the near total destruction of all the wealth of their nations...nearly every last yen and mark.

Don't know about Japan, but the German economy was a house of cards even before the war started. The Wages of Destruction by Adam Tooze provides an excellent account of the Nazis' management of Germany's economy before and during the war.
