As a result of these restrictions, the Reichswehr was little more than a glorified police force when compared to the militarys of the rest of Europe.

No shit. The point is, the Nazis were expanding the military way beyond just bringing it on the level of other European powers — it was a fighting force built for the war Hitler was planning. Many historians even claim that German economy was unsustainable and would have collapsed had the WWII not been started.

This is a myth. Historians (most of them Jewish) have often lied through their teeth about how the Nazis achieved their economic recovery from the great depression. They did not pursue re-armament at the expense of social welfare. The Nazis pursued a policy of both guns and butter.

Of course it is a 'myth', a Jewish one no less, same as every single thing that portrays Natzee Germany in a negative light. And I never claimed they had insane military spending at the expense of civilian projects — only that it was the driving force behind NG's marvelous economic recovery.
