I mean that the the first paragraph and the ones that follow seem to be saying that German wartime inequality was worse than British or French, but the last paragraph seems to be saying that the Nazis made huge efforts to make sure that didn't happen, and in fact succeeded when it came to wages. So what seems to be missing is an explanation of why their measures not only failed, but failed so spectacularly that countries that didn't take such measures ended up with much more equal distributions.
It's probably just an artifact of being ripped from context.
