Germany was in the tank prior to WWII. Then they came out of it with a dictator. My daddy, when he was alive said “When the economy of the world is in the tank, population is to big, the only answer is war. Never forget that.” Funny that the older I get, the smarter my daddy gets.
“Germany was in the tank prior to WWII.”
They had it rough during the 20s but actually did quite well during the Depression of the 30s, in some measure due to the efforts of Hjalmar Horace Greeley Schacht.
