Nah. Not consistent with the post-WWII relative growth of Germany and
the USSR, or West and East Germany, or Japan and the USSR. Can't call
the USSR's post-WWII recovery "fast" by comparison with the recovery
of the defeated axis powers...
&&&&&&&&
CB: The defeated Axis powers were not allowed to have militaries. The USSR had to keep
pace with the militarist U.S. to protect itself from another holocaust as committed by
"NATO" 1919 and the capitalist Nazi army in the 1940's.
