The threat to the R and D, comes from a further emboldenment of the right..... you didn't get too many creative types hanging about in 30's/40's Germany.
Just enough to create the worlds first jet fighter and ICBM. And the fore runner for today's diesel/electric submarines. |

Motorways, the first rocket to reach the outer atmosphere,the first mass produced hellicopter,The list for R&D is rather long. They also started a ban on smoking in public places,welfare payments and supported animal conservation. Trouble is like all National socialist there was a lack of care for other humans. |

Useless fact of the day, the post war rebirth of the German car industry was almost entirely down to a bloke from Yorkshire. |

So although Hirst had an impact at VW, it's an exaggeration to claim he was responsible for the whole of the German motor industry. You might as well claim that George Turnbull was responsible for creating the S Korean car industry... as although he had a major impact, there were many other factors at work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Turnbull_(businessman) |

Not really but I don't really have time to provide an entire summary of the books I have read on the subject. |

I like things to be at least within the realms of factual accuracy.... much work was done by Britain on the rebuilding of post war Germany, as I think after the consequences of the more draconian post WWI terms, it was realised that co-operation was the way forward. Hence the formation of the Coal and Steel Community. Churchill was very keen on there being a European Union, he just didn't want us in it, preferring to preserve the Empire. |

That really is a pathetic comment. It's true (as has been pointed out) that actually Nazi Germany produced a great many creative types including the driving force behind the US space programme, but more importantly the stereotypical idea that being right wing in 2019 Britain somehow equates you to Nazi Germany is absurd. "Oh you're thinking of voting Tory? So basically you want to murder every Jew in the world." |
