That was the second time around.
Which is why I quoted the guy mentioning the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

But, as most people know, Germany rebounded just a couple decades later.
Germany's economy, both in the roaring twenties and following Hitler's rise to power, were both a deck of cards. The roaring twenties was propped up by foreign investment and the 30s were propped up by state funding into rearmament and mass projects, but neither were sustainable. The 20's were dependent on external funding and the 30's were predicated on the ability to wage a successful war.

Right. But "the germans bombed pearl harbor" is a joke. Its not meant to be taken as a serious statement.
The first comment that was replied to was in reference to the use of propoganda to bring the US into the war (like the Lusitania incident).
The 2nd world war was an easy sell. People saw Hitler as a great evil that needed to be stopped. But it wasnt so black and white the first time around. I believe most Americans had little interest in a european war.

Ok, admittedly i cant say i know much about their economy at the time. I think one of Hitlers arguments was that the Germans had been stripped of their lands and abilities to have a successful economy. I think his argument was that they had to go to war or else they'd be forever dependent on outside help. It wasnt just hey lets go kill all the jews. I dont think that would have worked for most ordinary Germans.
When i said Germany rebounded, i was speaking of their army/war machine.
