I remember that there was a story where a German man came home with a wheelbarrow full of money The next day he woke up, he discover that someone broke into his house but the robber didn't still his money....but the wheelbarrow instead
I still remember this story from my grandma: She and her grandpa were in a train on the way to a hospital because there was a new born in the family. They had 2 suitcases filled with cash. He forgot one of them in the train but couldn't care less about it because it wasn't worth anything at all. It was a rough time

@Kyllyan Fritz-Yoen Ateme so did Jahovah. According to the Bible he committed an even larger genocide that wiped out the entire earth except for one single boat.
@@kizugx At that time, it was Weimar Republic (it has almost the same system as today). Wehrmacht was established as Armed Forces (in german), and the republic became Third Reich (one party system dictatorship). In any case, inflation wouldn't effect debt payment, as it would adjust to it. Most of the time, the debt will be repaid through either foreign currency or outright traded goods.
France and UK: Seems like germany's having fun making lots of consumer goods Germany with civilian factories producing military equipment: Yes, so much fun
It's wrong. Germany was producing more consumer goods than military products. I do not know where historians believe they found evidence for this presumption that the Third Reich was preparing for WWII by industrial effort. When the Polish incursion began, the German army was stretched to its very limits. If the French would have persisted in their Saar Offensive, they could have defeated the Third Reich in those early September 1939 days right away. Portraying German war preparation in the years preceding WWII is a commonly echoed myth. What Hitler always had on his mind then was to approach some kind of equalisation in military strength. He had a treaty with Britain on a ratio of British to German naval power, for instance. That treaty was abandoned later on, due to concerns that Germany would not be able to get at par with the increasing Soviet submarine threat, but the point remains that there was no such thing as an obvious Nazi drive to prepare for an alleged commencement of war in Europe. All of those stories seem to ignore the fact that the German military started from a really weak level. Increasing this strength was relative to that low level. It was not about becoming stronger than the others, but about being able to defend the country in a proper way.
Becus german people are intelligent and hard working . Albert einstine was also actually the German but he fears bcus he's a jewish so flee to US. I'm also impressed with the german .

@Joshua N. Ajang Yes, there is a difference. Germany has a plethora of dialects. Standard German or High German is mainly spoken in northern Germany. The state of Bavaria alone, in wich the scene is set, has several dialects.

I studied German in Austria (Austrian German is very similar to Bavarian and they're typically lumped together as one dialect) and I picked up on that too.
Fine, but please do keep in mind that this video only echoes the usual myths, not any proven truth from history. The way in which the Third Reich allegedly prepared for war by increasing military spending is such a typical error that gets regurgitated a lot. Also the alleged "fact" that the Third Reich would not be able to economically survive if it would not occupy other countries soon, is a common myth. The problem that the Third Reich was facing was indeed related to high finance, but, in contrast to other countries like Britain, Germany could not get loans on the international finance market to lubricate its economy. There was a reason for the Third Reich to rely on barter trade and the complicated issue with Mefo bills and such.

“It allowed the government to spend money that didn’t actually exist”. Lol. Ya, cuz it’s not as if our fiat currency system allows government to blink money into existence in the form of debt or anything.
Go back to gold currency and hang the commies worldwide for speculating on labour. Im ok chopping off the top of the pyramid, seems like they want chaos, hang em all.
It is really quite different you would be amazed at how complicated the system is today, the dollar is the reserve currency so demand for the dollar is always strong, even like now, when there is speculated trouble ahead, people convert their money to dollars. You can also look at other countries, and a way they make their currency valuable is that they peg to the dollar. Also if you were to devalue the dollar, then that would not necessarily be a bad thing as our exports would increase due to our goods being cheaper. The ability to print money is also not unique to our currency system, but something the whole world engages in, and America is particularly strong because everyone wants dollar, global trade is done in dollar, if you don't have dollars, then it is much harder to trade.
5:40 Wait. So the Swastika has to be censored (that’s why it’s the cross; the real thing would have a swastika)...but the hammer and sickle stays... Really?

Swastikas are illegal in German media and so they are frowned upon by youtube as well.

Correct. They weren’t. The European powers at that time (Britain, France, and Belgium) were just too stupid to curb stomp Adolf’s latent ambitions before the 30’s and wilfully ignored the obvious signs manifested by his rhetoric. They had the power both militarily and economically to do so but are too cowardly and just resorted to appeasement. Though their understandable apprehension to lose more lives in another brutal war they were trying to avoid resulted in just that: more lives lost and destruction never seen before.
@@canto10mosha65 This is a lot less accurate than was reality. In reality, the UK and France were in no condition to fight a war. Their people were incredibly anti-war and their economies were torn apart by it (nowhere near as bad as germany, though). In short, the myth that the British and the French did *nothing* is just that, a myth. In reality, they had actually begun mobilising for quite some time. A huge reason why appeasement even *existed* as a policy was to buy the British time to rearm. The French were often against it, and in fact in many cases Britain stepped in to keep them down. I don't know why you include Belgium in the list of European powers, that part is just retarded.
Personally, I think Hitler's move to get women out of the work force was brilliant. Men were no longer competing with women in the workforce, so more jobs available for men, higher pay for men because of less supply of labor, more financially available men that could support a family, AND more women having babies. AND he also forced people on welfare to work, because earning some money was better than no money, and being a burden on the taxpayer. Think what you want, but those were still brilliant moves.
11:02 That's because those roads were *NEVER* designed to be used by heavy tanks. German tanks during that time only consisted of light & medium tanks. Tigers and other german heavy tanks you probably had in mind were developed years after the autobahn project. Of course they won't fit! Stop taking things out of context!
He also acts like so called forced labour was wrong when German people reciwed more money on welfare they recived for doing no productive work. Regardless it is not good but they were not forced but employed beacuse they didnt want to pay you to sit at home jerking off to good morning program hahhaahh. This is close propaganda rather then fact. German economy was stronger then French/British at the time considering they closed themselfes out of trade and for autarky/self suficient program. All of this and then say Germany was bad as how it is. Yea man but German people had jobs and worked to be productive. Why so much hiding on Military spending well beacuse German economy was hindered with production of any war machines like planes and tanks. Also a 100k people in army for that huge nation is nothing they couldnt defend their borders so German people actualy were forrearmament which was not held in secret from them. Next intersting thing is Germany starts WW2 when a fact is they didnt but rather UK/France did declare war on Germany. Japan invading China Americas fault as well as British and inequal trades that made Japan economy go bust. I would say its what he says half correct half wrong but whatever.

Most historians neglect to mention that it was the Weimar government who surrendered in 1918, not the Kaiser, as this could lend credence to the "stab in the back myth." Good on this video for telling the full story in that regard.
Yeah, after Ludendorff panicked and suggested the armistice to the government. Then in hindsight, he created the "stab-in-the-back-myth" to save his and the army's reputation.
@Kevin Kirby "Weimar was controlled by Zionists". - The same thing was in the centre of Nazi propaganda. It is interesting, that such nonsense will never die out. "The German people knew this and elected the party who brought justice back to Germany" - Yeah, "justice": illegal murders, oppression and a Nazi elite who enriched themselves. (Look up, how Hitler and his cronies swam in fortune.) In Germany, your statements would be considered as Neo-Nazi, rightwing propaganda. So you are an antisemitic Nazi. You can be glad of yourself. 🤣
Yeah, but the OHL had already prepared to accept a peace deal since October. It just happened to be the case that the delegation that was designed to accept the humiliating armistice arrived under the Kaiser's leadership on 9th November and then did the same two days later, just this time with the agreement of Ebert. And you know what? The German High Command kind of wanted it that way! To them, the German revolution was actually a great opportunity to whitewash their role in the war and deflect blame towards the Democrats who they wanted to sweep away again. They literally wrote letters openly saying how happy they were that they could blame the Social Democrats for their own failings. Several members of the OHL actually ended up becoming big purveyors of the stab in the back myth such as Ludendorff, who was mentioned in the video here, EVEN IF he knew EXACTLY how much he was at fault for it. In many ways, the High Command were a bunch of sore losers and it is a pity that many Germans believed their lies. Even worse, many of Hitler's initial collaborators from the conservative side, many of which were close to the OHL, wanted to reinstitute a sort of German Empire 2.0 and tried to use Hitler to their advantage, which utterly failed. Their biggest enemy was Democracy and not the fascist threat. Just like the initial OHL had been... The role of German conservatives and traditionalists during the Weimar Republic is breathtakingly irresponsible and dangerous, even among those who didn't really like Hitler and his antisemitism. In the end they all helped Hitler or worked with or under him, regardless of their intentions. In that sense, German conservatism was completely stained for a very long time after WW2. And it all started with the German High Command blaming the Democrats for the peace treaty of Versailles.
I find it incredible that some people don’t understand how the genocides and the bad things of those years policies is correlated directly with the economic policies: the forced labor, state seizures of industries and previous winner’s debts and foreign economy (foreign banks, foreign investors, middle to upper class investors, multinational insurance companies). In that period it was the same in every country (US, Japan, Italy, UK, France, USSR) everyone discredited classes of people to get cheap labor (heck even now we use migrants as a way to boost GDP and get cheap labor)
Here's a real life story about pre WWII inflation.When I was 16 I worked in a machine shop that had a 65 year old shipping and receiving clerk. He told me that when he was young they would get paid at work twice a day (once at lunch and then at the end of the day) so they could buy bread at lunch because by the end of the day the price could double or more. Then they would again buy food at the end of the day for the same reason.
Step 1: expand military hundred fold Step 2: blow up countries you liberate Step 3: Draft plan to successfully rebuild those countries Step 4: be forgotten by history Outstanding move!
Although this video is well made, it does not really explain how Germany was able to produce such a superior fighting force despite its weakened condition.
Small corrections: Hitler was not in the frontlines of the march in Bavaria, he was on the second line behind his bodyguard who was shot by the Bavarian Police. Also General Ludendorff was not present at the march. And Hermann Goering was wearing a german Stahlhelm. I feel a need to correct these things because history is, often, warped by propaganda and small mistakes (like the biases of individual historians.) I really like how detailed and well made these episodes are, and how well you describe the content without getting boring or too detailed. Thank you for these.

yea, take that with a grain of salt. Every country on earth does this with taxes, they just do it to the unborn. Your parent's generation is paying tax to pay off their parent's social-programs, as you are paying off yours. There's absolutely zero justification for adding in some nefarious motivation about conquest. Historians, who are typically left-leaning academics , will suppose excess motivations to their political opponents for practicing the same fiscal policy as their political allies.

Well to be honest that pre-war leichttractor without armour on, looked rather innocent. I mean sure it had tracks but that alone does not make a tank. Tractors at that time had no large rubber tyres making traction on a wet field difficult at best. Tracked tractors were actually used during that time alot, google if in doubt. Sure, German version was overengineered compared to those but that's just hindsight nitpicking. Also much of the europe didn't want to believe to the possibility of another war, British prime minister Chamberlain was oblivious and naiive while declaring “Peace for Our Time”.

4:11 The Treaty of Versailles required the debt be paid in gold or natural resources, mass printing of money was not meant to repay the debt. The goal was to pay workers, erase internal debts, and force the national debtors to negotiate new repayments.
The autobahns were never meant for military purposes. They were instead only built as close as 30 km to the borders of the Reich, so that the enemy couldn´t use them in case he invades germany. And driving Panzers on the autobahn for longer distances, creates excessive wear on the panzers and the road, and wastes huge amounts of fuel. The military always prefered the railway as primary way of transportation, because the railway is capable of transporting heavy military equipment in great numbers easyly, was powered by coal instead of fuel back then, and is far more efficient.

it‘s in actuality not a very good documentary. For example the narrative that eventually Panzers were meant to roll on the Autobahn is completely wrong. The main military use of the Autobahn was for the supply vehicles.
One important fact is the Autobhan was used as runway as well for fight plane quick launches so it was not a failure as the video would have you believed. The only reason Germany lost the war is that they did not value allies, if they had kept Russia on their side the outcome could have been much different.

1938 Guderian: Casually playing war games with Panzers Patton: Driving to his local hardware store to buy parts to repair what little tanks he has because the government can't afford to supply him.
The answer is simple: Germany had Europe's biggest economy and the German Industrial base did not suffer at all after WWI, aside from a brief occupation of the Saar and Ruhr. But the base was intact. It was only a matter of time before Germany's economy regained its place. And that allows for a big, powerful military when combined with German scientific excellence and an unbroken military class who knew what mistakes not to make in the next war. Hitler also imposed autarky to avoid the effects of an Allied blockade that brought Germany to its knees in WWI. And, also, the Western Powers were not ready for war. That said, the German economy was not prepared for war in 1939, and was poorly managed by the Nazis. It took a few more years for it to get on full war footing under Speer who streamlined everything. Even then the German economy underperformed. The Nazis were god awful administrators and more or less squandered whatever resource advantage they had controlling most of mainland Europe. Additionally, Hitler interfered too much into weapons development and procurement. For that reason, Germany was never going to win a long a war.
07:00 that’s a blatant lie ! The women workforce in Germany during the twenties-thirties was trivial. The unemployed men during the Weimar Republic were more than 6 million...
I think in most European countries in that day young women worked until they married, after which they were fired. So if you can get more women to marry (earlier), you will definitely reduce the workforce. It might not have made the biggest difference, but definitely some
How come an excellently voiced, narrated and educational video like this gets only a few views compared to 'kids making slime' videos? This channel is atrociously underrated, nearly ALL of Griffin's videos could be shown on TV! They're that good!

How come history videos get less views than videos that entertain young children? Seems pretty obvious to me, and absolutely normal. While nearly every kid wants to watch such entertainment, not every person is interested in history. And that doesn't mean they're stupid or something - they just have passions different than history. Personally I'm here not because of history, but because of economics. I have a bachelor's degree in economics and am deeply invested in this field, and so history of economics is also interesting to me.

“In 1939 railways remained the most common means of transportation.” Um..... are we talking about civilian or are we taking into account the camps as well?
Germany had the best railway system in the world. But Germany was also a country where Germans was much poorer than Americans and could therefore not afford to buy their own cars. So Germany had no T-Ford, so instead they used the railways. They used railways for everything.. transporting yourself to work, transporting people to work, and transporting people to camps.

It's wrong. Germany was producing more consumer goods than military products. I do not know where historians believe they found evidence for this presumption that the Third Reich was preparing for WWII by industrial effort. When the Polish incursion began, the German army was stretched to its very limits. If the French would have persisted in their Saar Offensive, they could have defeated the Third Reich in those early September 1939 days right away.
Portraying German war preparation in the years preceding WWII is a commonly echoed myth. What Hitler always had on his mind then was to approach some kind of equalisation in military strength. He had a treaty with Britain on a ratio of British to German naval power, for instance. That treaty was abandoned later on, due to concerns that Germany would not be able to get at par with the increasing Soviet submarine threat, but the point remains that there was no such thing as an obvious Nazi drive to prepare for an alleged commencement of war in Europe.
All of those stories seem to ignore the fact that the German military started from a really weak level. Increasing this strength was relative to that low level. It was not about becoming stronger than the others, but about being able to defend the country in a proper way.

Fine, but please do keep in mind that this video only echoes the usual myths, not any proven truth from history.
The way in which the Third Reich allegedly prepared for war by increasing military spending is such a typical error that gets regurgitated a lot. Also the alleged "fact" that the Third Reich would not be able to economically survive if it would not occupy other countries soon, is a common myth. The problem that the Third Reich was facing was indeed related to high finance, but, in contrast to other countries like Britain, Germany could not get loans on the international finance market to lubricate its economy. There was a reason for the Third Reich to rely on barter trade and the complicated issue with Mefo bills and such.

It is really quite different you would be amazed at how complicated the system is today, the dollar is the reserve currency so demand for the dollar is always strong, even like now, when there is speculated trouble ahead, people convert their money to dollars. You can also look at other countries, and a way they make their currency valuable is that they peg to the dollar. Also if you were to devalue the dollar, then that would not necessarily be a bad thing as our exports would increase due to our goods being cheaper. The ability to print money is also not unique to our currency system, but something the whole world engages in, and America is particularly strong because everyone wants dollar, global trade is done in dollar, if you don't have dollars, then it is much harder to trade.

Here's a summary of the video:
How did Germany Get so Strong after Losing WW1?
The Armchair Historian: Well, yes, but actually no.
Correct. They weren’t. The European powers at that time (Britain, France, and Belgium) were just too stupid to curb stomp Adolf’s latent ambitions before the 30’s and wilfully ignored the obvious signs manifested by his rhetoric. They had the power both militarily and economically to do so but are too cowardly and just resorted to appeasement. Though their understandable apprehension to lose more lives in another brutal war they were trying to avoid resulted in just that: more lives lost and destruction never seen before.
@@canto10mosha65 This is a lot less accurate than was reality. In reality, the UK and France were in no condition to fight a war. Their people were incredibly anti-war and their economies were torn apart by it (nowhere near as bad as germany, though). In short, the myth that the British and the French did *nothing* is just that, a myth. In reality, they had actually begun mobilising for quite some time. A huge reason why appeasement even *existed* as a policy was to buy the British time to rearm. The French were often against it, and in fact in many cases Britain stepped in to keep them down. I don't know why you include Belgium in the list of European powers, that part is just retarded.
@Pingers Bingers the NSDAP was not in power at the time of the hyperinflation but they profited from it.
Personally, I think Hitler's move to get women out of the work force was brilliant. Men were no longer competing with women in the workforce, so more jobs available for men, higher pay for men because of less supply of labor, more financially available men that could support a family, AND more women having babies. AND he also forced people on welfare to work, because earning some money was better than no money, and being a burden on the taxpayer. Think what you want, but those were still brilliant moves.
@@Lexman00 Brilliant for a militarized dictatorship indeed.
11:02 That's because those roads were *NEVER* designed to be used by heavy tanks. German tanks during that time only consisted of light & medium tanks. Tigers and other german heavy tanks you probably had in mind were developed years after the autobahn project. Of course they won't fit!
Stop taking things out of context!
He also acts like so called forced labour was wrong when German people reciwed more money on welfare they recived for doing no productive work. Regardless it is not good but they were not forced but employed beacuse they didnt want to pay you to sit at home jerking off to good morning program hahhaahh. This is close propaganda rather then fact. German economy was stronger then French/British at the time considering they closed themselfes out of trade and for autarky/self suficient program. All of this and then say Germany was bad as how it is. Yea man but German people had jobs and worked to be productive. Why so much hiding on Military spending well beacuse German economy was hindered with production of any war machines like planes and tanks. Also a 100k people in army for that huge nation is nothing they couldnt defend their borders so German people actualy were forrearmament which was not held in secret from them. Next intersting thing is Germany starts WW2 when a fact is they didnt but rather UK/France did declare war on Germany. Japan invading China Americas fault as well as British and inequal trades that made Japan economy go bust. I would say its what he says half correct half wrong but whatever.

You can be glad of yourself. 🤣
Yeah, but the OHL had already prepared to accept a peace deal since October. It just happened to be the case that the delegation that was designed to accept the humiliating armistice arrived under the Kaiser's leadership on 9th November and then did the same two days later, just this time with the agreement of Ebert.
And you know what? The German High Command kind of wanted it that way! To them, the German revolution was actually a great opportunity to whitewash their role in the war and deflect blame towards the Democrats who they wanted to sweep away again. They literally wrote letters openly saying how happy they were that they could blame the Social Democrats for their own failings.
Several members of the OHL actually ended up becoming big purveyors of the stab in the back myth such as Ludendorff, who was mentioned in the video here, EVEN IF he knew EXACTLY how much he was at fault for it.
In many ways, the High Command were a bunch of sore losers and it is a pity that many Germans believed their lies.
Even worse, many of Hitler's initial collaborators from the conservative side, many of which were close to the OHL, wanted to reinstitute a sort of German Empire 2.0 and tried to use Hitler to their advantage, which utterly failed. Their biggest enemy was Democracy and not the fascist threat. Just like the initial OHL had been...
The role of German conservatives and traditionalists during the Weimar Republic is breathtakingly irresponsible and dangerous, even among those who didn't really like Hitler and his antisemitism. In the end they all helped Hitler or worked with or under him, regardless of their intentions. In that sense, German conservatism was completely stained for a very long time after WW2. And it all started with the German High Command blaming the Democrats for the peace treaty of Versailles.

I find it incredible that some people don’t understand how the genocides and the bad things of those years policies is correlated directly with the economic policies: the forced labor, state seizures of industries and previous winner’s debts and foreign economy (foreign banks, foreign investors, middle to upper class investors, multinational insurance companies). In that period it was the same in every country (US, Japan, Italy, UK, France, USSR) everyone discredited classes of people to get cheap labor (heck even now we use migrants as a way to boost GDP and get cheap labor)

Here's a real life story about pre WWII inflation.When I was 16 I worked in a machine shop that had a 65 year old shipping and receiving clerk. He told me that when he was young they would get paid at work twice a day (once at lunch and then at the end of the day) so they could buy bread at lunch because by the end of the day the price could double or more. Then they would again buy food at the end of the day for the same reason.

Small corrections: Hitler was not in the frontlines of the march in Bavaria, he was on the second line behind his bodyguard who was shot by the Bavarian Police. Also General Ludendorff was not present at the march. And Hermann Goering was wearing a german Stahlhelm. I feel a need to correct these things because history is, often, warped by propaganda and small mistakes (like the biases of individual historians.)

Well to be honest that pre-war leichttractor without armour on, looked rather innocent. I mean sure it had tracks but that alone does not make a tank.

Also much of the europe didn't want to believe to the possibility of another war, British prime minister Chamberlain was oblivious and naiive while declaring “Peace for Our Time”.

Autokorrektur xd
Ja verdammte scheiße 😂
The autobahns were never meant for military purposes. They were instead only built as close as 30 km to the borders of the Reich, so that the enemy couldn´t use them in case he invades germany. And driving Panzers on the autobahn for longer distances, creates excessive wear on the panzers and the road, and wastes huge amounts of fuel. The military always prefered the railway as primary way of transportation, because the railway is capable of transporting heavy military equipment in great numbers easyly, was powered by coal instead of fuel back then, and is far more efficient.
This video is full of myths and propaganda.
>not meant for military
>meant for defense of an invasion
idk if you ever heard of cognitive dissonance
@@AnonYmous-ob7py I am sure you haven't got the point yet. He said, they weren't built too close to the border in case if Germany could be invaded. O.o

The production value on all these videos is outstanding. Really well done, man.
One important fact is the Autobhan was used as runway as well for fight plane quick launches so it was not a failure as the video would have you believed. The only reason Germany lost the war is that they did not value allies, if they had kept Russia on their side the outcome could have been much different.
The autobahn was *so* effective at moving military resources around that the US adopted the process.... our Interstate Highway system.

Guderian: Casually playing war games with Panzers

The answer is simple: Germany had Europe's biggest economy and the German Industrial base did not suffer at all after WWI, aside from a brief occupation of the Saar and Ruhr. But the base was intact. It was only a matter of time before Germany's economy regained its place. And that allows for a big, powerful military when combined with German scientific excellence and an unbroken military class who knew what mistakes not to make in the next war. Hitler also imposed autarky to avoid the effects of an Allied blockade that brought Germany to its knees in WWI. And, also, the Western Powers were not ready for war.
That said, the German economy was not prepared for war in 1939, and was poorly managed by the Nazis. It took a few more years for it to get on full war footing under Speer who streamlined everything. Even then the German economy underperformed. The Nazis were god awful administrators and more or less squandered whatever resource advantage they had controlling most of mainland Europe. Additionally, Hitler interfered too much into weapons development and procurement. For that reason, Germany was never going to win a long a war.
07:00 that’s a blatant lie ! The women workforce in Germany during the twenties-thirties was trivial. The unemployed men during the Weimar Republic were more than 6 million...
I think in most European countries in that day young women worked until they married, after which they were fired. So if you can get more women to marry (earlier), you will definitely reduce the workforce. It might not have made the biggest difference, but definitely some
How come an excellently voiced, narrated and educational video like this gets only a few views compared to 'kids making slime' videos?
This channel is atrociously underrated, nearly ALL of Griffin's videos could be shown on TV! They're that good!
It's saddening to see such an inspirational, educational and quality channel get not nearly as much attention as it deserves.
RUclips censorship makes it hard for these videos to be recommended and monetized. It's bullshit.
Pssst, here's the real deal: The ACTUAL education videos (Nazis weren't people of honor, nukes didn't end WW2, etc.) without nice animation get x10 less views)
How come history videos get less views than videos that entertain young children? Seems pretty obvious to me, and absolutely normal.
While nearly every kid wants to watch such entertainment, not every person is interested in history. And that doesn't mean they're stupid or something - they just have passions different than history. Personally I'm here not because of history, but because of economics. I have a bachelor's degree in economics and am deeply invested in this field, and so history of economics is also interesting to me. War stuff doesn't tickle me nearly as much and so I'm not gonna watch most of the videos surrounding world war 2
because RUclips is a consumer website not an educational one. most people come for entertainment not to learn something, this especially applies to kids.

Um..... are we talking about civilian or are we taking into account the camps as well?

Germany had the best railway system in the world. But Germany was also a country where Germans was much poorer than Americans and could therefore not afford to buy their own cars. So Germany had no T-Ford, so instead they used the railways. They used railways for everything.. transporting yourself to work, transporting people to work, and transporting people to camps.
