Except he didn't. His plan to 'rebuild the economy' was military conquest. He stole enough from 'undesirable' German citizens to get the government liquid again, reneged on all the war debts that were keeping the German economy depressed (I'll give him that much), then kiboshed all the social and economic programs he'd platformed on to go all-in on one titanic military push.

They simply did not build the infrastructure for a sustained war. And they certainly didn't build the infrastructure for a functional economy.
