    Not that I support their ideology at all, but the Nazis gave the world some really cool shit. Jets, rockets and the ballistic missile, the modern highway system/overpasses, and advancement in nuclear fission. Just goes to show how much war seems to advance our technology tree.

    Also…Fuck Nazis

      I’d argue that the technological advancement was from spending a lot on that rather than societal goods, and the general removal of freedoms to trade for efficiency. This usually happens during war, but a society can’t maintain that, people get sick of it. If they didn’t run out of oil, they would have run out of the will to fight.
