The German war effort during both World Wars involved extensive mobilization of resources, manpower, and industry. In World War I, Germany focused on trench warfare and utilized advanced technology, such as machine guns and artillery, to gain an advantage on the battlefield. The economy was directed towards supporting military needs, leading to rationing and shortages for civilians. In World War II, the Nazi regime implemented a total war strategy, emphasizing the production of weapons and vehicles. The use of propaganda aimed to maintain public support, while the military campaigns, such as the invasion of Poland and France, showcased Germany's initial successes. However, the prolonged conflict ultimately strained resources and led to significant losses.
