How sustainable was Hitler's economic policy?

by SirN4n0

Was it merely a bubble he created to last long enough until he invaded Poland, or would it have been sustainable for a post-war Germany, assuming everything went to plan in Barbarossa? If not, did the Nazis have some sort of plan laid out for after they acquired lebensraum?

There currently aren't any questions under the FAQ section on Nazi economics that directly talks about the Nazi plans for the post-war economy, but there are several threads on the sustainability of the economy in the pre-war and up to the mid-war that you might find interesting:

There is also some more tangential threads about the overall goals of Nazi Germany in the FAQ section on the Axis alliance and post-war plans:

  • This top level comment from /u/kaisermatias talks about the vision that was being in the uppermost parts of the Nazi regime for Eastern Europe highlighting the mass depopulation and agrarian hopes for the planned expansion with little reference to the exact economic nature of the matter.
  • In this top level comment /u/depanneur talks about the Nazi's Eastern European plans with much greater emphasis on the colonial and economic nature of the planned expansions. The comment thread also has good content below the top level that you may enjoy.

Almost all of this is somewhat tangential to the post-war economic planning in exact detail, but should give a good background on the realities on the ground during the pre-war through the mid-war and also inform about some of the very general ambitions of the Nazi higher ups.
