With Britain still in the war, Germany was shut out of the world economy, no more cotton from Egypt, no oil from Venezuela, tin from Malaya, guano from that pacific island, rubber....
The trade deal with the USSR alleviated some German shortages but would inevitably make the USSR the senior party, a resource reservoir that could set its own prices, rather than take what pittance was offered. Hitler was damned if he did, damned if he didn't.
The last working-class hero in England.
