 Schacht approved a figure of 35 billion Reichsmarks to be spent on military buildup over eight years.By comparison, the entire national income of Germany in 1933 was 43 billion Reichsmarks, so the government was not merely proposing to increase military spending, but to make military production the primary focus of the national economy.Earlier in April, the cabinet had already agreed to release the military from the normal processes of budgetary oversight.
