Let's say that, ITTL, Adolf Hitler decides to get rid of the "free-market" faction in his government, led by Minister of Economics Hjalmar Schacht and Price Commissioner Dr. Carl Friedrich Goerdeler- who urged Hitler to reduce military spending, turn away from autarkic and protectionist policies, and reduce state control in the economy- entirely. Hence, upon enacting his Four Year Plan and appointing Göring as his "Plenipotentiary for the Four Year Plan" on the 18th October 1936, in spite of (or because of, given that Hitler cited it as one of the reasons for the choice) his total lack of knowledge on economic matters, ITTL, Hitler dismisses Schacht and Goerdeler immediately, and places complete control of the German economy in the hands of Hermann Göring's 'Office of the Four Year Plan' instead (as opposed to doing so gradually and subtly over the course of the next three years, as he did IOTL). In these circumstances, how likely would it be that Nazi Germany would have gone bankrupt before the outbreak of WW2? And what impact would this have had- could WW2 be butterflied away altogether ITTL, and the Nazi regime be ousted from power? Or would Hitler have gone to war even earlier than IOTL, in a desperate bid to avert the inevitable economic collapse through military conquest? And if he had, what would have been the likeliest result?
