What were the consequences of the German occupation for the economy
of occupied Europe? After Germany conquered major parts of the
European continent, it was faced with a choice between plundering
the suppressed countries and using their economies to supply its
needs. The choices made not only differed from country to country,
but also changed over the course of the war. Individual leaders;
the economic needs of the Reich; the military situation; struggles
between governors of occupied countries and Berlin officials; and
finally racism, all had an impact on the outcome. In some countries
the emphasis was placed on production for German warfare, which
kept these economies functioning. New research, presented for the
first time in this book, shows that as a consequence the economic
setback in these areas was limited, and therefore post-war recovery
was relatively easy. However, in other countries, plundering was
more characteristic, resulting in partisan activity, a collapse of
normal society and a dramatic destruction not only of the economy
but in some countries of a substantial proportion of the labour
force. In these countries, post-war recovery was almost impossible.
