I wonder why von Papen was put in the section "survivors". He was part of the coalition of the first government of Hitler and continued to work as offical for Nazi Germany in Turkey during WW II. Could someone who is authorized to change this article put von Papen in a different section of the article.

Supposed WWII Era Colour Photo

The Image:BerlinNaziEra.jpg is incorrect and I added a discussion about it last year. I live in Berlin and can confirm that the buildings to the right and left sides of the Brandenburg gate did NOT exist until Commerzbank built the left-hand one and the one on the right was an office building built after the wall came down. Here's what it looked like before those buildings existed: http://k2.csail.mit.edu/raw/gallery/ISCA_2004/incoming/cwo/Berlin_Brandenburg_gate_while_the_wall_was_still_up.jpg. Can anyone point out a Commerzbank, or is it just trees? Andem 00:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The Image:BerlinNaziEra.jpg IS CORRECT! I live in Berlin too and I can confirm that there were buildings at the same location similar to the new bank buildings before the end of WW2. These buildings were like most of the other buildings in the city center destroyed. Here is the prove:

World War Two Conquests

I have something to point out about the map in the WW2 section of the article. I'm not sure how many of you know this, but Finland was never conquered by Germany during the course of the war nor was it a full-fledged Axis member. So, would the map be incorrect? Repdetect

De-facto it was on a German side and fought against Soviet Union. Its soldiers received medals from Germans, etc. But I have another problem with the map, it mentioned "White Russia" in the key box, and there's no such thing. I suppose it's a silly translation from German weissrussland, but in English it's called Belarus. Besides, there's no much point in actually mentioning it in the key box, which should explain what happened to these territories (they were occupied) and the names be written on the map.--24.185.133.119 11:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC) The area now known in english speaking areas as Belaris was always called White Russia up until the mid sixties, check old atlas for references.

Sorry

Sorry for the accidental blanking. Disambiguation tool hiccough on that page. --Barberio 16:24, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks like you accidentally replaced it with the contents of the Hindenburg biography. I fixed it a minute later. No biggie. We've seen much worse done to this article. Fan-1967 16:26, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

National Animal Tiger?

Where does that come from? I can't recall a Tiger used in any Nazi national emblem and can't really imagine it as one of their national symbols.--Caranorn 12:54, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I had previously deleted this, but someone must have re-inserted it. While lion(s) had been in use as names and symbols throughout German history, I have no idea how the tiger should be related to Nazi Germany, apart from the Tiger I tank and the flag of the Azad Hind Indian Legion fighting for the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. -- Matthead ^discuß!     O       16:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

• I think this supposedly comes from the Tiger tank, but I agree, I've never seen an emblem with a tiger on it or any other mention of a tiger associated with the Nazis Elementalos 15:43, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Since the "National animals" entry in the infobox is unsourced and does not appear to be addressed in the article text, I've commented it out. Regards, David Kernow (talk) 03:38, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Lebensraum

Alright, I have an issue with this article on the issue of Lebensraum. In the opening paragraphs, the article states that it (Lebensraum) was a major cause of the second world war, yet in the ideology section it states that Lebensraum only became part of the German policy in the midst of the war. Obviously, a cause of the war cannot appear in the middle, so can someone please correct this error? 75.176.185.69 00:03, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Government Type

I think the government type needs to be fixed in the infobox. I don't know anything on the subject though. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Guitarhero91 (talk • contribs) 02:06, 27 February 2007 (UTC).

It's a freaking dictatorship... not a republic. The Enabling Act makes that much clear.

Changed government type in infobox to (national) "socialist republic" for the sake of consistency with other (as it were "freaking") dictatorships like USSR, PCR and DPRK who are being labelled as socialist republics in their respective infoboxes. Regards, --3 Löwi 21:51, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Technology

I am no fan of the nazis but don't you think their technical achievements deserve to be highlighted: Coal oil-Fischer Tropz process Submarines-Air independant propulsion Missiles-Practically invented everything Jet aircraft-From the first flying jet to the most advanced designs flying wings etc. the basis of several post war aircraft.

references

the 'readings' portion seems to be extensive. why does this article not cite these in their respective place? this could be quite an article. the_undertow ^talk 09:05, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Economic policy

The statement that the New Deal engaged a military buildup is patent revisionist history and wishful thinking. No officer of the United States Armed Forces at that time could call anything resembling Roosevelt's Military Policy a buildup. There was a reduction in most Armed Forces. I suspect the author here is referring to the replacement of several battleships, the creation of some aircraft carriers as a "buildup". This should be struck. The reference to Stalin's first five year plan should also be struck. Stalin was also engaged in replacing forces that were destroyed in the putsch and the Civil War.

Holocaust?

Shouldn´t something about the greatist genocide in history this STATE commited be written in the article?

Try reading as far as the 'Ideology' section, it's right below the lead section. Squiddy | (squirt ink?) 18:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Google Earth: nazi germany berlin

Hi, I wonder if this must stay like it is: if you fly via google earth to germany with wikipedia buttons allowed, you see the big three words "nazi germany berlin". Later it divides into "nazi germany" and "berlin". At first I thought it would be a hacking aggression of something, but it isnt--- this view from above is a little strange in 2007. May be the wkipedia article can be linked to nürnberg. That would fit as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 77.177.4.122 (talk) 08:45, 1 May 2007 (UTC).

• Sorry, can't help. Nazi Germany is next to Berlin because Berlin was that state's capital. You should probably talk to the Google Earth people if it's really important. ¿ςפקιДИτς! ☺ ☻ 22:44, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Too much information on structure of government

There are too many distracting lists of government structure, these make the article look complicated, these should be reduced with paragraph form explanations of important posts in Nazi Germany. For indepth information of the structure of Nazi government, a new article should be made for that.
