Truthfully, if you remove it from the historical context, it generally ain't that shabby. First half of 1900s had some pretty cool fashions and styles mixed in there (alongside some massive fashion misfires), all over the place... Even though everyone was a pack of murderous assholes.

Good things about Nazis:

  • Very Stylish
  • The Volkswagen beetle

Bad Things about Nazis:

  • Everything else

The Volkswagen Beetle was a shamelessly stolen Tatra project. It would have happened without the nazis anyway (and probably even sooner).

Tatra sued Porsche for damages, and Porsche was willing to settle. But Hitler cancelled this, saying he "would settle the matter".
