You've got this badly out of sequence. There's fifteen years of Weimar struggling to pay the Versailles reparations in more or less good faith.

On small scale, the Prussian old guard tried to side-step some of the armament restrictions - notably doing some joint tank development with the Soviet Union - but before Hitler said piss off and began rearming in earnest, the Wehrmacht was limited to 100k, virtually no planes, and a remnant of the Kaiser's fleet.
