This set of policies launched by the heads of the army and the industrialists aimed to greatly accelerate war production, which required both laborers and largely unavailable natural resources. Because of blockades imposed by the British, imports of resources and labor could not keep up with the demands of the war industry; for example, German agriculture had to massacre 35% of its swine because of the shortages.
