I believe that the main problem that Germany has right now is transport vehicles, with overseas investments in South America and Australia, Germany has access to beef,tallow,leather,wool and grain supplies.
Germany has a strong industrial base but it cannot make everything it needs or wants,they have to trade trucks for APCs or tanks.
Transport planes for fighters or bombers.
Germany has to go and buy them from other countries and its going to be a sellers market.
From the U.S. Germany can buy trucks from Ford and GM, and DC-3s from Douglas Aircraft.
In an earlier post I wrote that the U.S. may adopt a "Cash and Carry" policy that would prevent financial institutions from making any large loans to belligerent nations.
There also maybe a problem with shipping items to Germany as there will be the expense of insuring ships going into a war zone.
Germany can ship to either La Harve or Antwerp but the French and Belgians are going to have their hands out.
That is why Germany is going to have to sell bonds.
They may sell the war as an anti-communist "crusade".
What would be ironic that if ITTL Charles A. Lindbergh is a Pro-German, anti-communist interventionist.
