I even wonder if ww2 was any different

Ww1 I mean

Yes. Every war since WWI, including WWI, has been funded by hidden fiat inflation, thus enabling a type of total warfare not seen until then

This is a great tweet.

I'd take your observation further though ...

This is most wars in history. WW1 clearly more so, though.

Debasing the money to fund wars that were actually just feuds between elites goes at least as far back as the Romans.

True. However physical coin debasement is more obvious than hidden fiat inflation.

The level of deception in our modern monetary system is historically unparalleled.
