    That may be the case, but they made significant progress on rockets, nuclear, and discoveries in physics. Whether or not they were war effective, the scientific progress was there. Fascism isn’t incompatible with technological progress, but resistance to higher education and anti-science sentiments are. In the long run, the loss of knowledge due to book burning and genocide may have caught up to them, but we thankfully don’t know. The government could have continued to fund and focus on science.

      Yes, but also who knows what millions of jews who didn’t survive the genocide could have accomplished in science and art if they stayed alive?

        That’s what I was referring to from the loss of knowledge due to genocide. Unfortunately, we’ll never know.
