Who stated that much of the increase in Germany's arms production was actually due to systems instituted by Speer's predecessor?

  • Adam Tooze

  • Martin Kitchen

  • John Lukacs

  • Raul Hilberg

Answer

Martin Kitchen, a historian, stated that much of the increase in Germany's arms production was actually due to systems instituted by Speer's predecessor, Fritz Todt. This was due to Todt's reorganization of the German war economy, which made it more efficient and productive. Speer continued and expanded on Todt's work, but he did not create the system that made Germany's arms production so successful.
