Nazi War Finance Tally Shows 80 Percent of Income to Battle
In an analysis by Thomas Reveille, the Nazi state in 1940 took about 56.7 percent of national income in taxes and diverted 23 percent through rationing and loans, pushing some 80 percent of Germanys income toward war efforts. Britain and Dominions allocate large shares to defense while the United States rose from 2 percent in 1940 to about 25 percent by mid 1941. Washington estimates suggest the war economy could exceed Germanys by mid 1942, with implications for taxes and civilian production.
