Hitler was absolutely incorrect with this statement. He certainly kicked the door in with his push east, but much to his surprise the house absolutely did not come crashing down. Instead he kicked the hornets nest and shite got real. Realllllllll fast from that point on.
Well it didn't help that the German soldiers were killing POWs and innocent people.

No, the populace rejoiced from it. Before they were starving and prostituting themselves. I have no idea how you get that conclusion. All you have to do is look at GDP and you can see Germany shot off like a rocket leaving the other European nations in its dust. Quickly went into immense debt? That was from WWI...
Maybe the people in the biggest cities benefitted. The same can't be said for everyone. There was still a lot of food and supply rationing due to Germany not having the fuel, agriculture, and industry to meet demands even in peacetime.
The rapid rebuilding of their military on IOUs put them back into debt and deficit. If Germany would've waited to start the war, their economy would've collapsed.

Oh it got brutal REAL quick. I mean stalin had to ask the German command to act as if the Russians had signed the Hague convention so their POWS would get humane treatment. fricking stalin, one of the most brutal men ever to live, asked to have his POWS treated better.
And then ironically, within a year declares there is no such thing as a Russian POW, only traitors and would in turn send Russian POWs to the gulogs after the war, because they surrendered
The nazis viewed the Russians as sub human and treated them as such. The Russian partisans quickly began to return the favor though.
Truly an ugly front
