Well I'm thinking about the rise of the SA which was an unofficial way to basically raise a military (via a supposed 'sporting club') without properly labeling it as such since the post ww1 agreements prohibited Germany from militarisation.
And then once the Nazis took official power I'm pretty sure they kept militarizing and pouring money and industrial resources into building a new army, air force, etc. That's basically how they managed to invade (and blitzkrieg) the first couple countries which eventually lead to ww2.
