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?

8. 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

9. 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

10. B – Was there an economic crisis in 1939 and did this push Germany in to war?
A/A* - Considering the economic factors do you believe that WWII happened due to intentionalist (master plan) or structuralist (circumstantial) factors?
