1. Today we all know that there is a car called Ford, named after Henry Ford. What you don't know, however, is that according to an interview with the Detroit News that year, Hitler's anti-Semitism was inspired by Henry Ford. Here's an episode, after World War I, it wasn't just German anti-Semitism, other countries also had this sentiment, but Germany was stronger under Hitler's leadership.
2. In order to alleviate the shortage of Coca-Cola in the United States during World War II, the German people invented Fanta soda, which is right the Fanta we usually see in advertisements. Originally, the Germans invented Fanta only as a substitute, but they did not expect that this Fanta soldiers felt very good when they drank it, so they mass-produced it.
3. The highway in the modern sense was invented by the Germans. Before World War II, in order to increase the speed of domestic troop transportation, Germany began to build a highway system throughout the country. The extensive highways played a very big role in launching a blitzkrieg for Germany, and to this day the German highways are still unlimited speed, oh no, speed limit, not recommended below 130 km / h, too slow you will hinder the car behind.
4. Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of Germany, invented the world's earliest social welfare system such as pensions. Bismarck did not like to learn during his school days, often pinned a sword, led a large wolf dog around the campus, or a very fond of dueling, presumably worshiping the chivalry of the medieval period, and dueling with others twenty-seven times.
5. When East and West Germany were reunified in 1990, it was the way east Germany was dissolved into five states and incorporated into West Germany, not the way East Germany was merged into West Germany. At the same time, considering the backward level of economic development in East Germany, West Germans need to pay an additional "unified tax" to help the development of the 5 states in East Germany, and this tax is still there.
