and today has the best economy in europe
They were always an extremely capable nation. They just couldn’t get out of their own way for 3 decades.
Nope of that was the case the United States wouldn’t be having to supply the German military with our equipment and money. Germany doesn’t have the best economy in Europe
@@billybilly1284 actually Germany has the strongest economy in Europe - size and exports. Fact.
@@terrygelinas4593 truth
everything is fine until the German economy goes downhill.
Germany (west germany) and Japan were impressive. Rise from the ashes of their total defeat in 1945 to become the economic powerhouse in Europe and Asia respectively, in less than a decade!! What a nation, German and Japanese people spirit are amazing.
... were amazing ... (Japan still is amazing, Germany not)
@@user-ml1jx3oi8r japan were (not amazing today). South Korea now had better GDP and economy than japan.
I would say it has nothing to do with their spirits but America’s national interest at the time. If the US wanted those countries to stay in the ashes, they probably would had.
@@rengeorge9268well it was the US that bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It was the US who was stealing their scientists for their own country. But it wasn't the US that rose Germany from its ashes in 1939
@@Adorable2854without the aid, Germany would never have been rebuilt. Berlin would still look like Chernobyl.
It's heartbreaking what happened to Berlin. Once the city was very beautiful. But today not so much
thank the modern commies and refugees
Still very beautiful! I went to Berlin this year!
@@Mrbicep I also went to Berlin this year but the modern history pieces were much better preserved than older history pieces
@@sunnex474 Well, after the war the Germans wanted to disassociate themselves with most of their historical symbols, including the ones that had nothing to do with the nazis
@@normaluser333 Not even the germans, the allies and the and the comintern simply did it
A bunch of architectural monuments and historical buildings that could have been saved were also destroyed.
they probably had to prioritise rebuilding then to try and preserve whats left of the old.
at the time if you think about it, all those buildings we define as historical were at the most 40 years old. To them if was like taking down a damaged plattenbau build in the early 1980s. But it is saddening, i agree. The quality of those building and their details were not to be surpassed again. A tremendous loss, which could have been spared by german surrender when the allies invaded german territory or when they were with millions men at seelow
@@jimzucker even if some of the buildings were preserved, later they would be demolished, buildings without reinforced concrete fall cannot last for many years.
Germany got less Marshall Aid than the UK, yet rebuilt with the best/nicest infrastructure and economy. Impressive!
The Germans didn't have to tear everything down, it was done for them already by allied bombing. English cities didn't have that luxury.
@@j.dragon651 Germany cleared the debris (mountains of it) and rebuilt. 1.7 billion Marshall Aid for Germany; 2.7 billion for the U.K. The U.K. had massive debts. The USA took many more billions in German patents and scientists.
@@terrygelinas4593 England wasn't about to rebuild cities that weren't destroyed. Under the Marshall plan was England able to use that aide to pay off debt? As for the scientists and patents, to the victors go the spoils. I am sure the U.S.S.R. got theirs.
The Allies help them, calm tf down
@@terrygelinas4593 trash.
Note streets cleared, cleaned up & rebuilt within 1 year.
Yes lets destroy all the old buildings that have been standing there for possibly hundreds of years and start building brutalism style buildings.
It was a necessity.. not sound.
My Grandmother told us of months living in the bombed out basement of what was the family home before they came to America to start a new life.She said they helped clean up the streets first as they were fed by the Americans for helping clean up the rubble.Women made up most of the German clean up as their husbands had died or were in POW camps for months.
After 6 bloody years..
German volk needless to say, great people in europe!.

Berlin can rebuild, but all of Africa and Haiti can't even build one time!!
africn´an leaders be like "it looks like everything is going great,y you know what this means?time for a military coup, an ethnic genocide that turns to civil war, and mass starvation due to the war... oh why do it? i want to incrise my political power and tyrannical reach by 5%"
Luckily many african countries are now starting to get way better
Berlin was rebuilt because the Americans wanted it to. Africa couldnt because americans had no interest in them.
@@rengeorge9268 Haha! Americans had ZERO INTEREST in building East Germany! It was communist remember? Two countries. Africa didn't rebuild because Africans didn't want to.

What language? Polish?
Кто мы ?
@@Jv19979It's Russian language. In Poland, we use only Latin alphabet but languages of the Eastern Europe where people use cyrylic alphabet are very similar to Polish.
I find the 'No Parking' sign interesting as it's in English. Anyone know why that is/was?
Berlin and Germany were split into occupation zones with the Soviets, French, English and Americans each occupying a piece. They all brought their languages with them. German was still used among the German population.
Us military/ us citizens was there helping build it back.
@@Jv19979 that makes sense!
The reason the sign is in English - Germany lost the war.
@@jasonpeters9295 Okay, everyone in Germany magically started reading English after their defeat. If you look at a previous reply to my question you'll see the answer

Great people following an insane lunatic
I'd say the people who actually followed him - and weren't just associated by nationality and/or ethnicity - weren't all that great, to varying degrees.
1:49 a suspension railway in Berlin? I thought only in Wuppertal.....
Fantastisch ;3
Ja

Yes
Si
Fantastico
Wish there was some English narration or subtitles,
Learn German!
@@tongsllc Yes, it Would be great if everyone could learn a language, but it's not always possible. Therefore subtitles bridge the gap. Happy days!
Syria is also like hope they would also become great
GERMANY 🇩🇪
Love Deutschland....
Of course, the corporate capitalists on the winning side always profit the most!

If it weren’t for the allies like England, USA, and Canada. Germany wouldn’t have anything. I love all these stupid pro German comments about how “brave” and “talented” the Germans were. Relax the Allies rebuilt your country for you.
Exact, Greetings From Houston 🇺🇸👍😎
Rome wasnt built alone
@@djerreo319 Both Germanophobes. Germans who survived a world war did the work. Anyone can deal with victory, only the mighty can bear defeat and rebuild.
Lol! It was the fear of Germans turning communists that led to western allies change their approach. Germany's arch-nemesis in ww2 the commie Soviet Union were feeding food of 1500 calories to people in their occupation zones, while western allies were feeding only 1000 calories. Also, Britain got more than twice the number of Marshall Aid (28%) in comparison to West Germany (11%) and France got 15%. You Brits should calm the f down. You were supposed to be the manufacturing hub in "Europe" after WW2, having the resources and strategic routes/trade routes, but your UK was under rationing till 1953, while rationing in West Germany ended by 1950. The "Allies rebuilt Germany" is a myth. Britain's Marshall Aid was a grant, not loan which wasn't the case for Germany. The debt Brits talk about is the post ww2 loans Britain asked from the US which has nothing to do with Marshall programme. Also, Adanaeur returned the favour to the US by making West Germany join NATO and decades later, Kohl honoured the German-US relationship during reunification process by making reunified Germany stay in NATO which was the US condition for Germany's reunification. Brits and French were against reunification and were asking Gorbi to send troops to DDR to sabotage the process. So much for Thatcher being "muh anti-commie". Lol! It wasn't Reagan, he would've delayed reunification by listening to Thatcher. It was GHW Bush. German reunification credit goes to German citizens, Chancellor Kohl, Foreign Minister Genscher, then President George HW Bush and Secretary of State James Baker plus Gorbachev to some extent.
No arguments youre just talking without saying anything billy boy
