Yep, basically the Nazis went on a spending spree (facism is a big government ideology) and they knew full well they could only afford it by invading and plundering other countries.

The reason German industry dominates Europe to this day is because its foundations were paid for by the countries Germany invaded during WW2.

Some EU countries like Greece ended up paying twice or more.
