Re: Luftwaffe Myths
Franek,
may I ask you what is the source for those 40 billions or at least whether it should represent a damage assessment in today’s prices or in current prices of 1945? The reason I am asking is that this number does not sound very realistic when compared to the 13 billion dollars that Marshall Plan brought to Western Europe. Those $13 billion managed to reconstruct large portion of the damaged western economies. However, your statement that the Germans were the ones that were better off at the end of the war is absolutely wrong. When compared to 1938 the German GDP fell most distinctively from all West-European countries. Furthermore, Germans got less than one third of the financial means of Marshal Plan. The reason for the German economic resurrection after WW2 lies mainly in the superior economic policy introduced by Erhard and his team. Jan Last edited by Jan Gazda; 18th January 2009 at 14:52.
