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.

Don't know about Japan, but the German economy was a house of cards even before the war started. National Socialism is robbing Peter to make Paul rich writ large.
When you have beggared all of your own Peters, you must invade the surrounding countries and rob their Peters to keep the party going.
