That was a first - and I hope not the only one - good deed.

What exactly are you looking for? At the very least, the policies were comparable to other countries in the world at the time.

I think he's looking for people as stupid as he. Like Grinder for dumb asses.

Meh, I'll give it a shot.

Off the top of my head, in Nazi Germany Alone:
Reichstierschutzgesetz (Reich Animal Protection Act), one of many Animal rights laws passed in Nazi Germany, which were the most comprehensive in the world at the time.
Nazi Anti-Smoking Movement, which included being one of the first to claim that smoking heightened the risks of miscarriages by pregnant women. Hitler was a strict non-smoker and he made sure these laws were effective.
The creation of an affordable automobile (Volkswagen)
The creation of the first freeway system in the world (Autobahn)
Film and Media Advances, The first magnetic tape recording was of a speech made by Hitler, and film technology/techniques which were used for propaganda films revolutionized the industry.
Modern Olympic Torch Relay
Etc, etc.

There are actually loads of others but people don't talk about the positive aspects of Nazi/Axis powers since they get labelled Neo-Nazi or worse.

I mean that everyone is familiar with the negative things that happened when the axis union existed between 1940 - 1945

The positive things remain in the shadows because Germany and Japan did so many war crimes.

Meh, I'll give it a shot.

That is a good list and here are a few things more:

- The Soviet Union was not exactly a state of peace so it was good that there was a counter-force.



- Europe was -and is -only a small area, the only ones who defend it were European and keep Europe as the European was one of the main objective of the Axis countries.

He also cleaned up Berlin which had turned into a prostitute ridden crime haven of ill repute as well other German cities.
The people who bought up most of the real estate in the bigger cities after WWI basically turned them into shit-holes.
Also keep in mind that Germany gave refuge to many Russian Jews who were fleeing the Czar.
You can fill a whole page of things the Germans gave to the world, good things.
After the Franco Prussian war ended in I believe 1871 Germany united and very soon they were leading the world or at least Europe in so many ways like Science, Medicine, Finance, Industry and Manufacturing, Agriculture, ect.
This is the real reason for both wars, especially WWI at least on the Eastern Front.
The West in my opinion should have let Russia and Germany fight it out and stayed the hell out of it.
But Germany were a threat mainly to England and France who were used to being the controller of Europe and they had to be put down at any price. In the case of WWI that was millions of dead and maimed.

Here is an interesting speech by a man called Benjamin Freedman. He was what you'd call an Insider of the time (The outbreak of WWI)
It was recorded in 1961 and it gives a very different version than I was told of the causes of WWI and II.
Many anti jewish sites have jumped on this recording (Even though Freedman, a Jew himself, doesn't really trash the Jewish people) but if it's listened to with an open mind it is educational...or it's total bullshit.
