The overriding aim was material and psychological rearmament in preparation for the coming war.
However, the pressures from the rearmament drive went wider than just the desire to avoid confrontation with labour.

In sum, expenditure on rearmament was completely at odds with the prevailing politics of disarmament and deflation.
