dear tikilal,
you simply understood NOTHING of what i said.
- i was referring to the war production UNTIL 1942 (it was abvious since we were talking about invasion of russia). what happened in '43-'45 is totally different (enslaved labour, speer taking power....) . If u mix the two periods u'll just get a big mess.
- if u want to measure the industrial capacity of a country u have to take the OVERALL PRODUCTION for big categories, the distribution of detailed models or types is another thing.
- look at the chart i made (for you) about aircraft production: as u can see as soon as the nazi took power (1933) they strongly increased aircraft production despite it was peacetime, nazi production was steadly above britain until '39.

- at the breakout of WW2 in '39 things changed dramatically: britain moved her ass and reversed completely the situation, while the nazi proved to be uncapable of doing the same. in '42 the problem had become so relevant that even the nazi hierarchy realized the situation (in '42 britain produced 54% aircraft more than nazi, USSR produced 65% more than nazi, US produced 210% more than nazi).
- the goebbels speech of "total war" is very interesting, it is surprinsing because despite being a propaganda speech it was a sort of admission that things had to be changed, or soviets would have wiped out germany. in facts, only parts of goebbels proposals were carried out but it marked the beginning of big change that took place in the the nazi state in the following 3 years (goebbels he was close allied to speer) .
PS: if u really avoided "propaganda", as u say, u wouldn't support any politician
