In a thread on r/militaryporn today, a user suggested that Nazi Germany's economy would continue to prosper without war, while others contested that it relied on loot and forced labor. Which is true?

Here is the thread. If it's against sub rules (I didn't see anything) I'll remove the link. But some people were arguing that Germany's economic growth would have been very rapid and strong, while others argued that their economy was supported entirely by the looting and slave labor of the invasions. I'm sure there's truth to both positions, but how strong was the German wartime economy in reality?

Hey there, not to discourage further answers but there's a whole section of the FAQ on Nazi economics for you to browse. I'd particularly draw attention to this answer by u/cfmonkey45
