The rest of the EU is now heading toward a situation, much like the germans were faced with at that time, but lack the funds of other countries to get back on their feet!
Yes we now rely on other countries imports to keep going and yes if we left the EU we potentialy loose that import, but the thing is while yes we rely on their imports, can they survive without us buyng their goods. When compared to our size/population we are one of the biggest consumers arround, we don't produce anything but we consume more than ever before.
They my not like us pulling out of the EU but I very much doubt it would stop them selling goods to us, they cannot afford to!
