The economic wonder of not germany is a knotsy propaganda myth. Hitler's many aggressive foreign policy actions and his accelerating persecution of the jews were partly intended as distractions from the poor economy.

Tuberculosis was effectively used as a biological weapon in the ghettos and concentration camps during the war.
