The study presents German economic policy on the occupied territories, discussing Germany's misappropriation and misuse of available resources-particularly human resources and their inhuman treatment-and how this policy ultimately led to the downfall of the Nazi regime. This fascinating study sheds a light on the mutual dependence of economics and warfare during one of the most difficult periods in human history UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781618119087 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/cover/covers/9781618119087.jpg ER -
