Many problems faced Germany’s economy after the Second World War. There was an obvious cause affect to its post war economy. "Severe bombing paralyzed the cities." Water mains were broken, the industries main infrastructure was shattered, and when all was said and done 14 billion cubic feet of rubble was what was left of Berlin. Most communication and transportation was stopped and raw materials were mostly inaccessible. Industry came to a virtual standstill.

After world war two Germany was split up four ways. The U.S.S.R., U.S., U.K., and France split Germany, as well as Berlin although it was deep in Russian territory. Their main purpose in occupying these territories was to exercise control over Germany so they would not raise any conflict in Europe aga

This four way government in Germany passed a Wholesale Land reform, which made German farms small and uneconomic. This reform stated that no farm be larger than 250 acres, although most were made to be smaller. Not only was this land taken from them but all the land the Nazi's or war criminals owned was taken without reparation and made into public works.

The condition of Berlin was that of the rest of the country. There were thousands of breaks in the water mains. There was no ambulance service, people were either left where they lay or they were buried in huge ditches. About 95% of Berlin was bombed, over 3 million homes were lost, and about 14 billion cubic feet of ruble was left.

they destroyed the paths they used. The German retreat destroyed most of the railways, major roads and bridges. Constant bombing caused communications to fade.
