Sure but parent comment is blowing off a lot of factors working against Germany’s spectacular recovery lol. “Several million young dead men” is a bit of an understatement too

but, owing to cultural changes, it turns out that women can also perform the work necessary for an economy to function.

Losing millions of your own population isn’t something that can be brushed off.

It’s not like those women were doing nothing before, so something else gets deprioritized.
