B – to explain whether there was an economic crisis in 1939 and whether it pushed Germany into war A/A* aim - to explain whether there was an economic crisis in 1939 and whether it pushed Germany into war and link this into the structuralist and internationalist debate The problem: Germany had built an economy for rearmament extremely quickly. By 1939 Germany was spending too much on rearmament. There were shortages of food, consumer goods and raw materials which meant that rearmament was slowing down. How could taking over parts of Europe solve this problem?

How taking over parts of Europe could solve this Problem How taking over parts of Europe could solve this Germany was spending too much on rearmament Shortages of raw materials for rearmament, food and consumer goods Labour shortages which meant wages were going up and costing more Agriculture was suffering from labour shortages, price freezes due to shortages and declining dairy production which was the main source of fats Exports were declining and imports were increasing for war production Growing public deficit Fear or popular unrest and people thinking of removing Hitler due to the pressure

Why had this become such a problem for the Nazis? The challenge... The evidence for these problems in the economy are based on eye witness reports Nazi reports show problems in 1939 but not a crisis State controls on wages and prices were stopping inflation which could happen from spending too much money on rearmament, so there was no need to go to war to stop rearmament Little evidence of social unrest WWII produced an economic crisis as it became a large scale war rather than a localised war Hitler’s aims were more important for causing WWII
