I watched a documentary on DW World (on youtube), where black people who lived in Germany at that time stated they were ignored. It was easier for them to hide their face than white people.

AutoJoshNG:
When it comes to automobile technology, there is no doubt Germany is ranked high amongst every other country in the automobile game. Whenever you hear ‘German Engineering” there is something that comes to your mind. Some of them are durability, longevity, ruggedness, class, luxury and so on.

Nazi Germany is a common English name for Germany between 1933 and 1945. This was when Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party controlled the country through dictatorship. Then, Germany was transformed into a totalitarian state where almost every aspect of life was controlled by the ruling power. The automobile industry was not left out.

There were crazy vehicles built for the military during the era of war in Naza Germany.

Some of the crazy vehicles built in Germany for the military during the Second World War include:



1. Panzer VIII Maus:
Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus was a super heavy German World War 11 tank built in 1944. It weighs 188 tonnes. It was 10.2 meters (33 ft 6 in) long, 3.71 meters (12 ft 2 in) wide, and 3.63 meters (11.9 ft) high.

It was designed by Ferdinand Porsche and he suggested the design to Adolf Hitler in 1942. It is known to be the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built.

Due to the weight, it was too heavy for bridges. It was then designed to traverse rivers underwater at depths of up to 13m. Only two of it was built before the end of World War II. They were then captured by the Soviets.



2. Mercedes G-4 Wagen:
This seven-seat off-road vehicle was produced by Mercedes Benz in 1934. They were mainly used to transport the top men of the Nazi regime during parades and inspections. They were not produced in mass for general use because they were considered to be too expensive.

The top speed was just 67 km/h.



3. BMW Schneekrad:
The BMW Schneekrad was a single track motorcycle built in 1936. It is considered to be one of the world’s first snowmobiles.



4. Sturmtiger:
The Sturmtiger which means “Assault Tiger” in German was a World War II German assault gun built on the Tiger 1 chassis and was armed with a man-size rocket (380mm). The primary function of the Sturmtiger was to provide heavy fire support for infantry units. The few of the Sturmtiger produced fought in the Warsaw Uprising.



5. MinenRaumer:
The MinenRaumer is a strange looking armoured tractor designed by Alkett, Krupp and Mercedes Benz. The first prototype was completed in 1942.

The vehicle was designed to detonate land mines by simply rolling over them. It also cleared path for men and machine to follow.



6. Goliath tracked mine:
The complete German nomenclature is “Leichter Ladungsträger Goliath” which means “Goliath Light Charge Carrier” in English. They were unmanned remote-controlled ground vehicles used during World War II. They were also known as beetle tanks.

The 1ft tall and 4ft long Goliath was used in the destruction of tanks, disrupting dense infantry formations, and the demolition of buildings and bridges.

That was why they could go head to head against the Nazi.

Africa would have been better off if Germany had won.

Before the war, Germany had colonies in German East Africa, Togo Republic, Cameroon, Namibia, but they already gave up all their colonies except Namibia. Their leader at that time, Otton Bismarck, thought that colonialism in Africa was very expensive to run, so they left Africa to focus on dominating fellow Europeans.

Today, we're still being colonized by Britain and France and others, though, it's now called neo-colonialism.

German colonies was taken from them after they lost WW1, in fact Hitler wanted most of those colonies back sef

by the time the USA joined the war in Europe, Germany was already overstretched.
They were fighting almost all the European countries including the USSR, and the USSR really drained them, if it was not for the USSR, a lot of European countries were under the control of the Nazi army, the war would have drag way beyond 1945

You're not talking to some novice, please.

I think you're mistaking their European colonies, which were taken away from them upon the treaty of Varseilles in 1920, not African colonies. All African colonies they abandoned because as I said there weren't much interest from the German chancellor to continue running them, so military reinforcement wasn't forthcoming to maintain them.

If Germany was still interested in colonizing Africa, WW2 would have been fought in Africa instead of Europe, and Germany would have actually chased away Britain and France from Africa because Hitler defeated them over there in Europe before the US came in to save them.

Isn't Russia the Soviet Union?
But to me Germany would have won, They well equipped even tho world war 1 had destroyed their economy. All he had to do was to withdraw his troops when he after invading the Soviet. They weren't equipped for such old conditions.

Those are propaganda being sold you to keep your head cool and make you love your enemy. History is written by the Victors not the vanquished.

Germany may have treated Africans bad like every other colonialist, but no other nation of earth killed more Africans than Britain.

Britain's killings in Africa runs into tens of millions. Winston Churchill boasted that he alone killed 5,000 people in Sudan in one day.

If Hitler won, the history would've been different. He may have actually chased Britain and France out of Africa. Do you know Germany was the only one country that made several attempts to ship arms to Africans to fight off other European colonialists? But each time they tried to ship us arm, Britain and France would intercept it at sea.

As I said, Germany already lost interest in Africa and instead had their eyes set on taking over Europe. This's why they could afford to lose Africa. They may have regretted the decision though.
