Also, Der Fuhrer went to great lengths to make Germany as self-sufficient as possible for WW2.
No, that was impossible. For petroleum, metals, minerals and grain he depended on foreign trade. The U.S. was his main supplier for grain. The U.S.S.R for copper, zinc, rubber etc. Romania for oil.
Thats what drove Hitler to attack the U.S.S.R was control of their abundant natural resources.
