After World War I, France and Britain imposed a war tax on Germany that destroyed Germany's economy and ruined the lives of millions who had nothing to do with their heads of state wanting war.

He actually 'rebuilt' Germany from collapse caused by the West in WWI, this when ironically Palestine is essentially a state who's land/territory has been stolen by Israel yet many choose to ignore the plight of the Palestinians and recall how 'evil the Nazis were' than educating themselves.

Some things you only learn in college and not in the media. The Western media portrays Adolf Hitler as 'evil' despite the fact that this term is overused to describe anything as unfavorable.

Had a Marshall Plan and World Bank been established instead of vengeful incentive, WWII would never have taken place.

This in addition to that many are unaware that German scientists were brilliant. They created the very first thruster engine and fight jets, ideas that the Allies took as spoils of war to build American Airlines, British Airways, and Air France all of which generated trillions of dollars in annual revenue.

1) Everyone knows about the German scientists.



2) The degree to which Hitler was good for the economy is often overstated. You are correct that the allies were BRUTAL to Germany and nations that had been part fo the German empire in WW1, and that was part of why there was a global depression on. Indeed, it was even WORSE in Austria, which is why Austria cheered when German troops invaded.



Indeed, many of the economic giants of that era were vociferous opponents of this regime. Herbert Hoover, Joseph Schumpeter, John Maynard Keynes and others tried to convince Britain and others that they were engaged in the most short-sighted policy. But no one listened. Everyone was angry about the first war.



But alot of the German economic revival was extractive and would have collapsed around itself give time. Hitler's Treasurer was a clever man who did alot of borrowing and inflating of currency. They used alot of slave labor. They would steal from undesirable minorities and sell the profit to keep their bubble going.



Eventually, the Germans sustained their bubble by invading nations and looting. It was not a sustainable economic model.

Yes I was aware of that and why do you just say britain and France am sure America was also involved or do you have selective memory. I don't get your point are you trying to say Hitler was a good guy yes he helped Germany rebuild itself it's just a shame he did that by robbing and murdering millions of innocent people.



Israel and Palestine should sort their own problems out the rest of the world getting involved is what caused two world wars.

Yeah, I'm aware of that.



Hitler was still a monster, and ultimately he led Germany into a 2-front war that Germany was bound to lose, since they were simultaneously taking on (a) Russia, with its huge land mass (b) England, until recently the leading capitalist nation on earth, and the one with the biggest global empire, and (c) the United States, a huge nation with vast industrial capacity and a population far greater than Germany's.



In the end, Hitler led Germany into the abyss -- into Allied bombing raids, the destruction of the German army outside of Stalingrad, the occupation of the country by foreign armies, and finally the division of the fomer Reich between a Soviet Communist -- dominated East Germany and a western capitalist-dominated West Germany.



But in the 1930s, Hitler clearly did rebuild Germany's economy, and many Germans benefited from the rebuilding and were grateful for his leadership.



What's your point?

Yes many Americans were aware that WW 2 was a direct resolute of the vengeful attitude of the frogs and Brits after WW 1 was not only those obscene reparation but Germany also had to turn over all her colonies in Africa and Asia it was also the reason America backed out of the league of nations Hitler felt that America would not come in again on the U K side he was will aware that the Brits refused to pay back it WW 1 debt to America and still have not to this date

After WW 2 America was in complete charge and that is why we help rebuild Germany and not punish her

At wars end in Europe, our ''allies'' showed their appreciation by releasing their troops as ours were held in place for the up coming invasion of Japan

No, nobody but you knows. You're so special. That's what 'narcissistic sociopath' means: "special".

You should consider learning some history. WW1 ended in 1919. The Wiemar Republic rebuilt Germany after the war. Hitler (and his dictatorial precursors) gathered power/ruled Germany as it moved out of the Great Depression. 1933. Who knew?
