While the method they used worked almost instantly and saved thousands of lives, the method used by the Allies in West Germany took several years and cost thousands of lives and prevented a stable government from forming for 10 years.

If we used the same tactics we used during or right after WWII, the liberals would scream.   \nI think crewl and inhumain would be the terms used.\n\nI would also hear "just leave and let them form thier own government"  Boy, those are the intelligent ones who have NEVER studies history and a political vaccuum.

The Nazi government had an aim to try and better Germany and expand its borders for "living space". The policies and trends are completely different, so a direct comparison doesnt really work, but i see your point.\nThe current US gov is not, im my opinion making policies that greatly benefit the country, rather business and making rich people richer. The Nazi's, although very much misguided and twisted, did have grand plans to greatly improve Germany, which in some ways they did achieve (they achieved a lot of infrastructure improvements for instance).\nIt does have a nice ring to it though ;)

National service did wonders for youth in Germany, Got them all back-packing over Europe during the late thirties and early forties.

I'm sure you can tell by the previous posts that he "hurt" more than he ever could have hoped to help. His goals were to purify the German people (so to speak) and bring them out of a sorry state post WW1. But, if you call that help, I suppose mass murder and conquest would be is the way to go. Perhaps you should ask the question in an other way, I"m sure you couldn't have truly meant 'help' through containment camps.

They were very competitive with each other as well as other people.  They were greatly feared as enemies in war because they devoted so much time to military training.

it depends of the situations. But the general answer is 100 years.

It is possible it could work, but forging a new government of the people, by the people and for the people should have worked too. Unfortunately these different sects are so used to blowing each other up they don't know any better.

it takes about as long as the 100 year war!!!

Unfortunetly form my understanding, it's one of those diseases where the the treatments are more fatal then the disease.  But without them the disease will drag out longer and be more painful.  The estimates I've seen are everything from 45 days to 8 years.

It shouldn't take more than 10 days.

The fault lies mostly with Adolf Hitler, although the German people willingly followed where he led.  The Treaty of Versailles in retrospect was too harsh, but that is hindsight, which is always 20/20.  The Allies at the end of WWI did the best they could to get the various countries to come up with a workable treaty.

I watched this on the History Channel so I think that it's pretty reliable. During World War II Germany was losing so it thought that the making of an object that could be hard to detect and fast as well would help them win. They didn't finish in time and of course lost. Russia and the US got a hold of these plans. During the Cold War the US believed that it needed to get an advantage over Russia and continued Germany's plans of the aircraft they were trying to build. The whole Roswell incident was supposedly one of these tests for UFOs that the government had made. There's even a book called "HITLER'S FLYING SAUCERS: A Guide To German Flying Discs Of The Second World War".

Germany unconditionally surrendered in 1945 before it was divided up

Well, winning World War II set the United States up to be a world power.  It also helped ushered in a great deal of long-overdue reforms in Europe, and today a European Federal Constitution is now a very real possibility.  Further still,  had Hitler succeeded, he would have undoubetly gone on to destroy the United States indescriminatently.  He would not have spared a single American, even those who resembled his ideal race, because they had grown up in a culture that was, in his eyes, dirty and corrupt (not to mention we were his sworn enemy).  This is one of the many instances in which money plays no role, so the 2.6 trillion figure you site is meaningless.  And even though the use of atomic weapons is still controversial, that alone does not aide your case 'was stopping _Hitler_ worth it.  I'm frankly shocked and appauled that someone could use their freedom of speech, something that wouldn't be enjoyed in a Hilter-ized America, in such a blatantly ridiculous manner.

nope, not a long as they can hold down the poor with outrageous prices. That and its one way of comiting legal genocide. See if you get sick in this country and you can't afford the OUTRAGEOUS health insurance premiums chances are you make too much to get public assistance. By the time you do qualify? The cancer or what ever it is thats killing you will be too far advanced to do anything about.I have asthma. I can't even buy health insurance, life insurance or any other kind of insurance..and as you may have guessed ...I can't afford the medicines I need either. I am but one of millions with this problem.. Until we do something about our current government structure.. NOTHING will change. The rich will become richer the poverty stricken will starve and the middle class?.. well they slipped below the poverty line years ago. They just set things up so that you make one or two dollars too much to qualify for assistance yet can't afford health insurnace. MEAN time? they pump billions of dolars into forein counties that hate us..bolstering their programs while Americans do without!

Because my relatives in Canada tell me the horror stories of socialized medicine. My Cousin had to wait 4 months to have blood clots removed from his leg, then my Uncle had to wait 8 months to have a hernia repaired. No thanks, keep your socialism.

Some were, but others weren't. The bombing was a good thing altogether. It saved many lives for both sides in the longrun,.
