If Hitler wasn’t such a d**k, he might have done some real good.
Yeah, well Mussolini discovered that any organic material could be converted into usable diesel fuel, even ag waste.
Trimmings from Italy’s abundant spice crops were particularly favored.
Yes. Mussolini really did make the trains run on thyme...
His rocket program went on to great success.
No, because he was a socialist. What private businesses were allowed to build any autobahns of their own volition? Even before Adolf came on the scene, all the railroads in Germany were nationalized into one entity.
Takes one to build a railroad like that. Today's Republicans are the exact opposite, which is why took 23 years to rebuild the Bay Bridge, 13-and-counting to replace the World Trade Center, and the Keystone Pipeline is receding far into the future.
He might have beaten Al Gore to inventing the internet.
Hitler was a technical illiterate fascinated by the fruits of technology he never really understood and upon which he made sweeping generalizations and pronouncements, while loathing and envying its creators. If he were alive today and living in Wisconsin, he’d be on the liberal arts faculty of a third rate community college and a Democratic Party activist.
There are practical reasons railroads are the size they are. Hitler seemed to have a preoccupation with giganticism, perhaps to compensate for personal deficiencies. There is a difference between being a visionary (Steve Jobs) and a meglomanica ( A. Hitler, B. Obama).
