How was Germany able to finance the war machine during WWII? How come they were able to stay strong against multiple military powers (in terms of industrial and manpower resources). How did they provide the fuel needed for the wehrmacht etc?

Germany is a rather small country compared to the allied countries grouped together. How come they were so successful during WWII?

While it doesn't necessarily cover the entirety of your questions, /u/vonadler wrote a great post about how the Germans financed their war effort.
