| Jan 25, 2017 at 6:13 | comment | added | Shimon bM | Note as well that Germany derived a lot of its resources from a snatch-and-grab operation: by invading the USSR in 1941, they sought to make themselves largely independent of trade by grabbing mineral-rich deposits, plantations, factories and other assets. The failure of this operation led to their increased dependence upon trade and, as such, the impoverishment of their own population. Cesarani (The Final Solution) has some information on this, but he doesn't go into detail as regards the trade agreements themselves and so I'm writing this as a comment only. | |
| Jan 25, 2017 at 2:07 | comment | added | user13123 | I found an extensive bibliography on the topic: archives.gov/research/holocaust/bibliographies/… - there were neutral countries, such as Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland, which would trade with Germany - and the German economy between 1939-1945 was supported by the spoils of conquest, confiscated assets from the holocaust, and outrageous currency exchange rates within the occupied territories (so-called 'occupation marks') | |
