He had a good minister of finance and germany had lots of factories and skilled labor.
Any government can print as much money as they want to pay for these services, what matters is if it will bring something in return, if it doesn't they end up like venezuela.
Maduro gives people a lot of bolivars, they can't buy anything with these bolivars because there is nothing to buy(the country is not producing enough), you need millions of bolivars to buy a piece of bread.
Also he had a great minister of finances.
The soviet union was even more incredible, stalin had a rural communist economy and he industrialized it very quickly. In 1920 most of the population worked with horses and sickles at some small farm, in 1950~ they were launching satellites.
Stalin basically pulled a China. He opened borders and did business with various American industries, allowing them to build factories on USSR soil, until copying their work and kicking them out in favour of his own state-owned enterprises.
Or one should say, rather, that China is pulling a Stalin.
