Defence, infrastructure, and education spending can act as investment that sustains employment and technical capacity during recession. A healthier British shipbuilding sector might therefore soften some economic damage without eliminating the wider Depression. Hitler's rise was not a simple result of winning an election or of one economic variable. Conservative elites helped place him in power as a perceived barrier to communism, so a changed naval economy does not automatically remove the dictatorship.
