Affirming the consequent?
The article states: "Nazi Germany under economics minister Hjalmar Schacht claimed to strive for self-sufficiency but pursued major international trade, albeit under a different system, to escape the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, satisfy business elites and prepare for genocide."

Some historians (no references off-hand sorry) claim that the phrase "Final Solution to the Jewish Question" meant expulsion of all Jews from continental Europe until the early stages of the war; thus describing autarchic policies in the 1930s as preparation for genocide seems to presume/assume that they were *designed* for that outcome but only in retrospect [indeed a slight majority of German Jews emigrated between 1933 and 1939, this would also undercut the notion that genocide was planned from the beginning, after all, how are you going to kill people if you let them flee to other countries {which may or may not come under your control}?]).Historian932 (talk) 17:22, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah mentioning the word genocide here is misleading. Hjalmar Schacht was very much opposed to not only genocide, but any form of offensive war, which is what led to Hitler replacing him. 86.5.158.68 (talk) 21:25, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
