I think the above post was pointing out that Germany actually spent incredible amounts on infrastructure and business. I have a hard time believing the US had 1000x the resources. Germany had the Silver Arrow Mercedes race car that was doing 250mph back then. They also didn't have much restriction on what scientists were allowed to try.

And the Germany industry was also very successful. Germany was an industrial powerhouse despite having lost WW1 and suffered the depression.

>>1000x the resources If you look at the scientist working on it was about that. They had Heisenberg. And about that money wise (don't have the exact numbers.)

The Abomb is a really bad example of not needing government. It was almost entirely an example of what can happen with total government support.. unfortunately that usually comes during a war.
