Top 10 Things Germany is Best Known For

The Top Ten
1 Adolf Hitler Adolf Hitler (April 20, 1889 - April 30, 1945) was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party, Chancellor of Germany from 1933 to 1945, and Führer of Nazi Germany from 1934 to 1945. As dictator of Nazi Germany, he initiated World War II in Europe with the invasion of Poland in September 1939 and was a central figure of the Holocaust.

What a shame he manages to be on this list..

Just because one person decides to dictate, destroy Germany as well as other countries, and kill lots of innocent people, doesn't mean all Germans are the same as him.

Even in his high powered state, there was still plenty of Germans that despite's the things he did.

He shouldn't be on this list. This list is about good things Germany is known for. If Hitler is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Germany, there's a problem.

He is infamous for directly murdering at least 6 MILLION Jews, plus millions of Germans and all kinds of people throughout Europe.

I wish people wouldn't think about Adolf Hitler when they hear Germany. He gives Germans a bad reputation

I am serious when I say that this tragic war will stay in Germany's infamous history forever, let alone the rest of the world.

Germany was pretty much the start of this war, as well as Japan in Asia.
