Really? It was the definitive Nazi society that proced men like Wernher von Braun, paving the way to the modern space age, communication satellites and the like.
But at what cost?
Why was he employed by Hitler?
What was his orginal task?
How was hitler using his educated rocket scientist? V1/buzz bomb, V2/A-4, Do you know how hitler used these rockets? (Hint: they were not used to send up satilites or put man on the moon.)
Von Braun is a perfect example of how an education and it's use, is determined by the soceity in which a person lives. When He was a Nazi he provided hitler with the means of committing Crimes against humanity on a scale and at a distance that no one upto that point had ever seen before. When he was taken by the US his focous was shifted alittle to include space travel. (but even so we still built bigger and more destructive rockets with what he offered.)
You guys want to turn a blind eye to the fact that every soceity including your own weaves in it's own properganda and soceital promoting agendas into the netural facts of a general education. The fact that some of you think that everything labled as 'education' is indeed for the betterment of one's self, shows that you have mindlessly swallowed the properganda along with the facts.
The truly 'educated' are often times no better off than anyone livingunder hitlers germany who has also bough into the properganda of their country.
