I wouldn't say that, actually. Germany's recovery was primarily fueled by massive deficit spending on rearmament and social programs. Keep the people pacified, bootstrap from the tiny military allowed by Versailles up to something world-class, then take over Europe and Asia. Not sustainable at all, and I think it's really debatable whether Hitler deserves any of the credit anyway. His role was more or less to turn on the money tap and tell the Prussians to tool up, which they did very happily and effectively because they were Prussians.

Which in a country with absolutely savage inflation isn't as easy as you make it sound. I suggest you educate yourself before being dismissive like this.

Except that Germany 1933-1939 didn't have significant inflation.
Careful what you wish for, in terms of government efficiency
