Germany was levelled as a result of the National Socialism.
Positive aspects of this? Rockets? Do you think maybe that rocketry was coming anyways and that a peaceful Gewrmany would not have exploited such technology? Same for jet engines.
Yeah I know all about Britian's developments on the jet fighter and how they kept most of their own for defense of Britian due to the chances of the Germans stealing their design.

But it was the German's jet design which has become the main stream which is still being used today due to it's ability to be redesigned over time and only extending the length, rather then the width of the jet engine, which in turn produces better arodynamics.

And your same mentality could be used to any developments any country or someone has done in the past, as someone else would have come along with the same idea. :rolleyes: Where do you draw the line for taking the credit from somoene's work? I suppose someone else would have come across the same inventions Thomas Eddison created.... so why should we give him any credit? :rolleyes:

But hostory shows nobody else made these listed things and made the designs, and Germany is known for these developments, so there ya go.

Due to this war started by Germany, regardless of the government or what they did to others in the holocaust and other countries, this war being created helped get the world out of the depression and technological developments increased in production during this time.... and much came from Germany as well as other countries.

Germany created the mass use of U-Boats during WWI, and improved apon their design in WWII.....

and don't forget, not everything created in Nazi Germany was directly created by the Nazi Government, but individuals in which Nazi Germany held control over.... These people might not have shared the same ideology as the Nazi Government but wanted to work to better their country, but should we take away their credit for development because of the government in power which used this technology?

What shall we all do when this BS with Iraq is all over? Disqualify all of the technological advancements the US has made during this time?

Come on now.
