What if he waited 20 years and just quietly built up Germany before taking what he wanted. His team would have been mid-60s, he would have trained up basically an entire generation with maybe Heydritch being groomed as succesor, he was so short sighted makes me sick.

Hitler was a devotee of romantic mysticism and irrationalism. He himself said that attacking the USSR would be a bad idea, but that he could no longer bear to have an agreement with those "degenerate communists."

By the mid 60s stagflation would have kicked in.

Germany's coffers were already empty in 1939, despite their annexation of Austria and Sudetenland and the kike asset seizure. He needed to go to war to loot other countries' resources, otherwise Germany would enter another recession, and that results in either a bolshevik revolution, or the more moderate elements of the party couping him and reorienting the country to a model more similar to that of Italy, Spain or Portugal.

Then he wouldn't be Hitler. He was selfish even by the standards of his own beliefs, he wanted to see a Greater Germanic Reich and colonization of the East in his lifetime.

It's not that a Fascist Germany was naturally incapable of having a properly functioning economy, but Hitler's whole shtick from basically day one was to prepare for war at any cost. Hitler really had no choice but to go to war in 1939, since the alternative was economic collapse.
To get the Nazi state to survive until 1960 you would of have to had Hitler come into power in 1933 with a completely different mindset, or at the very least to have done a complete 180 out of nowhere in 1937 and suddenly start following Schacht's advice

Wouldn't have been possible to keep an autarchic economy going for that long. The world necessitates warfare for countries to survive

You already made this thread once today. Can you at least wait 24 hours before posting it again?

>>18105424
can we see the evidence he said this?
>>18105514
No Germany's economy was growing.
>https://www.statista.com/statistics/1334182/wwii-pre-war-gdp/
it had already surpassed both England and France in GDP and productive capacity.
Germany was outproducing England in England's biggest industries, Textiles and Steel.
Their "coffers" werent empty, they had trade asymmetry with the rest of Europe and near exclusivity with Eastern Europe because the communist trade policy was fucking retarded.
>loot other countries resources
What does this mean?
No seriously what does this mean? Is it like age of empires where you kill their villagers and mine their gold and chop their trees?
What does this actually mean?
How does this actually work?
This isnt the middle ages where you take over a place and turn the estate into revenue through financial magic.
How does say fur from Estonia or Wheat from Poland turn into German GDP in a way that German made steel does not? Explain that to me.

>was to prepare for war at any cost
Then why did he constantly delay avoid and attempt to end war?
He wanted a peace treaty on day 2.

If he wanted war, why didnt he actually prepare? he brought the German armed forced to a pitiful state of readiness by 1939 and their military spending had remained steady as is consistent with going from no army to a national standing army.
Hitler didnt even shift to a war economy until 1943.
Why wouldnt he shift to a war economy in 1939 or 1941 like Britain did?
>the alternative was economic collapse
according to who? Their economy was the strongest in Europe with the most solvency of any European state.

Do you even know what Germany's primary industries were during the 30s?

>loot other countries
Well, most nations have real assets you can steal if you conquer the country. Gold and silver reserves, artwork, heavy industrial equipment, commodities (in this case your example of furs works just fine as a stand in for anything ranging from precious metals to, well, lumber), infrastructure assets, and so on. All of these have value just like ‘German steel.’ After all, that’s how commodities work. The other element of it was taking private property from who ever they wished to steal from. Businesses, homes, and so on. That includes personal bank accounts. So yes. They did a lot of looting, and they’d run up a pretty nasty debt rearming.
