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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 1 - Introduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChapter 1 Occupied Economies and Total War\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 On Total War\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Economy, Total War and Nazi Germany\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 The Economies of Occupied Europe\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 2 - Exploitation\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChapter 5 Exploitation: an Introduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Expansion and Exploitation \u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 The Periods of Exploitation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Dissimilarities in Occupied Europe\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9 The Exploitation of Occupied Europe\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10 The Hunt for Labour\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11 Exploitation: a Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 3 - Economic Life\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChapter 12 Economic Life During Occupation: an Introduction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13 Financing Occupation and Exploitation\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14 Trade\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15 Production\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16 Conclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart 4 - Economic Consequences of the Occupation: Conclusions \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eChapter 17 Consumption \u003cbr\u003eChapter 18 Damage\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19 Conclusions\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771560100183,"sku":"9781845208233","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781845208233.jpg?v=1758728273","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/occupied-economies-an-economic-history-of-nazi-occupied-europe-1939-1945-9781845208233","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
