A sweeping summary details Germany’s wartime destruction and postwar losses. It itemizes human tolls with 6.32 million affected, a national debt of 39 billion dollars, collapse of commerce and seaborne trade, loss of colonies including East Africa and Pacific islands, and partial erasure of mineral wealth and rail capacity. The piece projects vast economic wastage and uncertain reversion to former productivity.
