I've a very interesting book full of statistics printed in 1940 (most of data are from 1938), but today I'm busy. I'll copy the interesting data later. Now you can see this site: http://members.tripod.com/~Sturmvogel/WarEcon.html. This page is full of data about raw materials: http://members.tripod.com/~Sturmvogel/resources.html.
If you are interested in articles about Italian economy in WW2, you might search those by James J. Sadkovich, they are very interesting but have been published only in specialistic reviews (I know them only because they have been quoted in some books, I've not read the original).
