This is not true: the most economically developed country in the world then was still the United States. Germany in 1939, took the lead only in industries that are important for the war: the level of machine tools, chemical, electrical and electronic industry. As for the art ... Indeed, many leading German artists were persecuted on racial grounds (Max Liebermann had, however, died in 1935), and other arts, so to say "true Aryans", was declared a "degenerative" (Emil Nolde, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Ernst Barlach , Käthe Kollwitz, many of the impressionists so-called "school Worpswede"), and they were forbidden not only to exhibit, but even the paint and graphics. So the power of the Nazis resulted in almost complete degradation of art in Germany. In the USSR, and this was not close. Although the "official" art, and was within ideology, but the work, for example, Nyssa, Deineka, Plastova Osmyorkin still are examples of true art.

But I'm just this mean-economy. This led Western countries is that, called called then 5 column, it was mainly intellectuals. And in Germany was like this "painting"-butchery.
