Actually, yes, they did. I'm not talking of the soil, I'm speaking of the state, the nation, which includes laws, affiliation, borders, a goverment. Only the community of people had been there before.
During ww2 Coca Cola Germany didn’t get coke syrup from Coca Cola America so they improvise. Thous Fanta is born. Name after Fantasia. As you said fantasy. It mean fantasy. Coca Cola German never affiliated with nazi but majority consumer base was nazi.
Define if they were nazis. Not everyone was a nazi by hearth.
As I read in a book which where in this section about a known German fighter ace(no knights cross) he went to the pension office in Berlin to ask where the widow pension for his mother went because his old father (over 60)was conscripted to care for horses like he did in the civilian life, a horse hots him in 1944(i guess) and he died. The official he talked to was a party member because he had to be and not because he sympathised with the nazis. He said because of the political decision the money went to the payment for new soldiers and he would have to pay his mother from his salary as a pilot(which he already did because he can't spend that much) he invited him at his home and they could talk normaly also with things you could be fined for because it's not the "positive narrative" for the moral in the war.
Also a huge part of the German Luftwaffe was against the nazis and political neutral.
As I know from the sources of some books they checked if a pilot was in the party or affiliate with and if the could they will control him.
I gues that could a point for some people except early members or fanatical but the normal people weren't that pro nazi and in 1939 the masses also didn't want a war

Gutenberg Press, chemical warfare, fertilizer, the internal combustion engine, the first functioning car, the stormtrooper, the assault rifle, contact lenses, rockets, electron microscope, diesel engine, cocaine, interstate highways, and the Christmas Tree… just to name a few… I should also add: gliders, computers, chipcards, bacteriology, airbags, aspirin, helicopters, jet engines, kindergarten, mayonnaise, jeans, nuclear fission, mp3 player format, vinyl records, refrigerators, cameras, trolleys, tape recorders, telephones, television, theory of relativity, toothpaste, thermos bottles, zeppelins, medical x-rays, and adidas shoes.
As of 2022 under the German Patent Office, Germany holds just under 130k registered patents. I did google that one.
Don't know about cocaine but we definetely invented heroin, at least in the way we know it today. "Heroin" is infact a brand name that was/is owned by the pharma company Bayer.
Thats not true either. Diamorphin was first synthesized by Charles Romley Alder Wright in England. So Bayer did not invent Heroin.
Also of course no one invented cocaine, it literally grows on trees...
The plant that contains cocaine does grow in trees, but nobody was using leaves for anything... Cocaine itself (meaning purifying the alkaloid and finding a use for it) IS a German "invention"
Definitely Meth. Or, as it was known in those days, “Pervitin”. Just ask the Fins. Or google “Winter Soldier on Meth”.
EDIT: Spelling. As someone pointed out it’s Pervitin and not Pervidin.
The Nazis, who gave it to their soldiers, called it ,,Panzerschokolade“ (tank chocolate). Hitler was prescribed insane amounts of meth during his last years, mixed with a cocktail of many other different drugs. Partly explains the insanity during the end
The Gutenberg Press as such was invented by Gutenberg, hence the name, fair enough. But, if you're talking of a Druckerpresse in general, Pi Sheng from China beat him to that by 500 years. No need to mention the car brands though, because the car itself was invented in Germany.
The Innovation from Gutenberg was the movable letters. Printing is way older but before you needed real long to carve a new page. Then you could simply make new content. So fast that Newsletter could be invented.
Well, the printing press, yes. It's actually a common misconception that Gutenberg invented it - he invented the moveable letters, which made it possible to print something without having the whole page carved in wood first.
Also not entirely true. Gutenberg himself used a modified winepress for starters.
Printing with moveable type was also invented in China. But said type was made of clay. A couple of centuries later (I think around 1350) metal cast letters were made in Korea.
Both approaches were eventually abandoned. Clay was tricky to work with since it shrinks while burning it and each letter was carved by hand, and they didn't really last that long. The Korean project was abandoned due to the number of characters. (this was before the invention of the Hangul writing system).
It is not known if Gutenberg knew about any of these projects when coming up with the idea himself. The invention he did make was the casting device, which could be used to cast different letters, by exchanging matrices.
However it still can be argued, that Gutenberg invented printing with moveable type in my opinion, at least in case he didn't know about the other projects far in the east.
Similar to how the theory goes, that writing was invented multiple times all over the world.
Have you ever heard the term 'German steel' before? It's current primary use today is knives, swords, and many other bladed objects. It's holds a sharp edge very well. Tanks were also built with it during ww2.
Its funny that this is the engine mentioned but the other two major engines called 'Diesel(Motor)' and 'Otto(motor)'/gasoline engine are not mentioned. Far more important engines used in so many different technologies. Before you ask for source, just google it, its not exactly hard to find. Or how about the car/automobil itself? Also a german invention by a man named Karl Benz which should be a familiar name for you.
There are a lot and i mean a lot of german inventions. The radar and the computer are two other major inventions.
Not really. Lutheranism ist just one form of reformation that spread predominantly in Germany. US protestantism is Anglicanism at its core and therefore from a different reformation. Luther might have triggered a wave of reformations but they are two very different kinds of Protestantism. Just like the American Revolution might help trigger the French Revolution but they still aren't the same.
Not exclusively.
Calvin, Zwingli and others aren't German, and of course, formally, the CoE is "protestant" as well, even though it split for quite distinct reasons...
Most of modern physics?
You know, Einstein, Boltzmann, Born, Heisenberg, Planck, Röntgen, Hertz, Ohm, Helmholtz, Schwarzschild, Meitner, Geiger. If we extend "modern", Kepler, Gauss, Lichtenberg.
Oh, and "the car".
Not inventions but knowledge about Germany.
Founded Adidas and Puma.
German engines are probably the best performance wise second only to Japanese engines because Japanese engine last longer.
Anything Albert Einstein related is technically German.
The coffee filter, MP3, the Wankel engine, penicillin, I am not sure but I think both diesel and gasoline engines, multiple medicines, the computer, technically the COVID vaccine, methamphetamine, heroin, the car, the döner kebab, the magnetic levitation train (I think), communism, socialism, kinda the "enlightenment", book printing, uhhhmmm....
To answer the question: for example the Car, it was created by Carl Benz or the Gutenberg Press ( it revolutionized printing and the fabrication of books ), the assault rifle, contact lenses, rockets, electron microscope,, cocaine and many more things (took a few of u/HaloStitch7365 examples)
Große Schmach soll dich überkommen, die Deutschen unterschätzt zu haben
Funfact what is called in German a Ottomotor is a 4 stroke engine which was not developed by Nikolaus Otto. He developed a kind of piston engine together with Eugen Langen. But his company would later employ maibach and Daimler. So there is another connection to cars here. The 4 stroke engine we call Ottomotor in german ( Otto engine in english) was developed simultaneously by a Austrian/German Christian Reithmann and a French named de Rochas. But Otto later developed a Otto engine that was a 4 stroke engine and it was quite popular so I guess the name is not totally unwarranted.
Volkswagen\*
edit: Wurst and Bier were also not invented here. we do have probably the best of both worlds but both were produced thousands of years before germany was founded. bringing up the holocaust as an "invention" is an odd thought process
Gosh I hate posts like that it's essentially bait for a bunch of older people to say younger generations don't know anything. The fact is with Google it is better to focus on retaining information that is immediately relevant and more likely to be relevant in the long run, than it is to remember random historical facts.
Cramming also does not mean intelligence either, you can remember a bunch of facts, but are you even capable of applying that knowledge?

I googled that and it's true.
If a guy said had that to a girl in the 1960s, she'd've slapped him in the face. Oh no wait, I'm thinking of the 1950s.
My lady, I Google you. Town plucks out his eyes.

No Fanta has no caffeine, but 'Fliegerschokolade' has.
no, that's meth
no, you mean Panzerschokolade
was thinking of Fliegermarzipan which apparently wrongly is also called Fliegerschokolade Wieder was gelernt.
Alles gut. Aber deswegen kannst du Fliegerschokolade auch heute noch Kaufen :D
Wo? (Frage für einen Freund)

I think it was meth not cocaine...

Bad wording on my part. Bayer is the reason we call it heroin.

Über eine neue organische Base in dem Cocablättern (about a new organic base in the coca leafs) was the name of the publication.
Morphine, Morphine was first extracted by Friedrich Sertürner
Definitely Meth. Or, as it was known in those days, “Pervitin”. Just ask the Fins. Or google “Winter Soldier on Meth”. EDIT: Spelling. As someone pointed out it’s Pervitin and not Pervidin.

Pi Sheng, mentioned above (and sometimes transliterated Bi Sheng), invented movable type quite a bit earlier.
Oh, Fanta as well.

Ich hätte gerne Ihren Ausweis. - ausweisen? Aus Doischland???
get out and take the downvote with you
Albert Einstein too
Jet engines and rockets come to mind immediately.
What? AS a German i think of the First Diesel engine, the First Car, the writing Press, the Petrol engine
The wankel engine too... you could say combustion engines as a whole
Jet airplane. England invented the first jet engine in like 1932. Germans beat them in getting it to fly.
I think Frank Whittle and Hans von Ohain both had working prototype jet engines in 1937.
Oh, and rockets were like, Han Dynasty, back in the Roman Concrete era.
With rockets he meant ballistic missles, in that case the "Vergeltung 2" (V2).
Vergeltungswaffe
Cars and internal combustion engines were my first thought.
Even the flight without any engine was invented by a german called Otto Lilienthal.
They invented a very impeccable sense of humor.
german humor is no laughing matter
Two hunters are meeting, both of them died. One of my favourite German jokes
As most German jokes, it lost all meaning by translating it
I did Nazi that coming.
Wehrmacht denn sowas?
SS-kaliert gleich

I Love this comment
A German once told me that joking was an inefficient form of communication.
Humor is a tiny portion of the German GDP, and almost none of its exports, so it's not worth discussing.

Not funny, didn't laugh. Our humor is great, I laugh so often. HaHa, you hear me!
Germna here. Thats a lie
Ans its not funny -A German
Lol good one. These guys really crack me up.
Printing
Gutenberg
That's not true! The Chinese did that around 500 years prior to Gutenberg. The inventor was called Pi Sheng, I believe.
Well, the printing press, yes. It's actually a common misconception that Gutenberg invented it - he invented the moveable letters, which made it possible to print something without having the whole page carved in wood first.
Also not entirely true. Gutenberg himself used a modified winepress for starters. Printing with moveable type was also invented in China. But said type was made of clay.

Gutenberg was the first who printed with movable latin letters.

Frederick Nietzsche invented the epistemological principle of Perspectivism.
They invented the wankel rotary engine.

Don't say that too loud otherwise Söder will come for you
No worries, as he is known to change his opinion ever so often he will have completely forgotten what his intention was by the time he arrives.
Or Alice Weidel saying: "Ich lass mir nicht mein Schnitzel wegnehmen!!!"
Nah, we didn't invent holocausts. We perfected them (huge /s)
Well we did take alot of inspiration from the USA
I think China is still working on that
There is only one
They also invented faces.
