The document discusses Nazi Germany's economic policies and decision-making between 1933-1939. It describes how Hitler initially prioritized economic recovery to strengthen the regime, led by Schacht's New Plan focusing on investment and reducing unemployment. From 1936, the focus shifted to autarky and rearmament with Göring's Four Year Plan, aiming for self-sufficiency to sustain war. However, the policies were inconsistent and failed to make Germany fully prepared for war by 1939 due to contradictory goals and power struggles between economic leaders.
