Can someone explain in laypeople terms how did West Germany manage to recover so efficiently after WWII and achieve such exceptional economic growth? I read the article on Wikipedia but it mostly seems to list the factors which should hinder this growth, rather than explaining how it happened. The short parts where they actually seem to explain something are not really understandable to me.

I read that they had killed a lot of insane/retarded/disabled /elderly ( please forgive the terms used but that’s the words of the time) , their workforce were highly motivated and conditioned to obey and being used to privation + they had no army/navy/ airforce to fund
So the biggest expenses of a govt were massively reduced so the budget went to re industrialisation
No insult intended or in anyway that this should be plan for the future
