Easy to mock the Germans but few realize their technology shaped our modern military and rocket programs.

The American Germans were their Germans! Wernher von Braun, remember him, the man who made the 1969 lunar landing possible?

It's a line from "The Right Stuff."

Watch out, some one will think it is real. If they can think a mermaid is real and Bigfoot makes sense they will just know this is real as well.

We all know it was the extraterrestrials that was behind the secret weapons of Hitler!

Yep, when I watched this last night I though someone, somewhere will think this was a real thing. The power of the YouTube-Photoshop age.

The bouncing car along the water was tests of the dam-buster bomb used by the Brits with the Bug shopped over the bomb.

The line was referring to Our Germans vs. the Russians' Germans. Ours were better.

Plus, we brought home some of the Germans' V-2 rockets. We played with them.

Many German scientists worked hard to get captured by the US rather than the Soviets. They knew the difference between the two societies.

That is why our Germans were better than theirs - and that is one thing that "soft power" and reputation n the world can do for you.

And it wasn't only the scientists that worked to get "captured" by the Americans: Reinhard Gehlen, head of the Wehrmacht east front intelligence together with his staff, tons of material, and still functioning V-men inside the Soviet Union, managed to get co-opted by the Americans and actually was the founder of the CIA!
