Germany’s economic position is far from sound and severe stress and strain created by progressive isolation might lead to disaster, according to a report of the Foreign Policy Association.

The Reich’s economic position promises to be solved either by an explosion leading to forcible territorial expansion or the reintegration of the country in the world economy, the report stated.

“Formidable obstacles face the resumption of complete economic and financial collaboration between Germany and other countries,” according to the report. “The mark would have to be devalued and realigned with foreign currencies, while foreign exchange controls and drastic import restrictions would need to be abandoned.”
