Hello everybody,
I was wondering if anyone had data to financial statements pertaining to the World War 2 era. To be more descriptive I am looking for, particularly, German data but anything you can extract will suffice. Internet source would be wonderful but if it's in a book could you post the data on this thread? Thank you.

Financial Statements
Re: Financial Statements
The League OF Nations Yearbook stuff has a lot of financial data, also the US combined arms libray has the "CIVIL AFFAIRS" reports which have fair amount of financial stuff. On a borrowed computer so I cant get you links just now, but will be at home in a couple of days, exactly what sort of stuff do you want.
Re: Financial Statements
Balance sheets of major war industries, in-depth record of government spending and revenue, cash flow statements for banks and major industries, e.g. Reichsbank, for the years 1921-1945 and that's about it.pugsville wrote:The League OF Nations Yearbook stuff has a lot of financial data, also the US combined arms libray has the "CIVIL AFFAIRS" reports which have fair amount of financial stuff.

Re: Financial Statements
To be truthful, you're looking at archival research to get what you're looking for.
Pointers?
Check the sources/footnotes in Tooze/Overy/Harrison for reference to the relevant (German held) documents.
Imo,? The "interwebz" are a great thing. That said, posting a thread such as this one and expecting anything but "Wiki says" answers?
An exercise in futility.
My two cents.

Re: Financial Statements
The League of Nations has good production figures interwar, bank issues, populations stats, employment, trade,unemployment,wages, cost of living. It's organized badly and it's PDF scans, but it covers all countries. very much raw data without much explanation which limits understanding but I find it useful.
