The nazi economy was actually pretty poor when you look at it. Mainly again because Hitlers desire to put racial purity above all else. He let the economy wane under Goring until Speer finally got it kicking into high gear. But by then it was still no match for the Soviets, English or United States alone much less collectively. Their entire idea was closed market which hurt them like any other closed market. About the only thing they traded for was ore from Sweden. Otherwise they basically had to loot conquered nations to sustain themselves.
Just like he let the military wane as well and delayed shipments to the front so he could use the trains to move more undesireables to the the camps. By 44 they were overmatched in nearly every category it was only a matter of time. Poop out a single King Tiger vs 300 T34s, 200 shermans, or 100 churchills. They only had one Wittman and he died in July 44 in Normandy. They'd need about 500 wittmans a month to counter that kind of production disadvantage.
