About that paragraph; the following paragraph Connors points out the hypocrisy of this that is "widely conceded", doesn't he?
And to add about the appendices, I mean that they'd be important sections to read out too, specifically the title and authors for exposure.
Yeah from the sources for example Germany's Economic Preparations for War:
>The most complete study of this important subject is that of an American economist, Burton H. Klein, who, pointing out that in Germany "there was no real mobilization of manpower prior to the outbreak of war," continues to say: "Thus, whether we examine the general nature of German economic recovery, or the raw material self-sufficiency program, or the mobilization of manpower, the same general conclusion is evident: The scale of Germany's economic mobilization for war was quite modest."
