Not necessarily so. Hitler managed to bring back the German economy from the pretty severe depression - it looks like he might have been right about economic policies (of course, it could be endlessly debated by experts, but that's not my point) without them being a "carefully crafted message".
- Teever 8y agoThe economic policies that Hitler enacted which heated up the economy were in no way sustainable in the long term. The intention was always to use these short term measures to boost the economy and increase military production to go to war. They were the economic equivalent of dining and dashing.
