I wouldn't be sure on that. Germany's economic policy under Titler had the country tottering on the brink of permanent irreprable collapse from 1936. Hence the increasingly desperate military gambles. He sacked every competent economic and financial manager he had because they all wanted to sacrifice gun making for useful economic activity. And the rest of the naasis weren't much better spending more time knifing their intra party rivals than running the country.
The only area where the NSDAP showed competency was in keeing *shudder* the gas chambers running.
And don't get me started on Italy.
Germany agreed to the armistice which ended World War I. They had to pay massive reparations, lost an extremely productive part of their country to France and then suffered hyperinflation until a new currency was brought in. It wasn't like Hitler took a stable economy and ruined it. I can imagine him sacking all the economic advisers though.
