    I had a swim in a fantastic outdoor pool in Germany during the summer. It was wonderful. My gf later soured the whole experience by saying it was built by the lads.

    Does anyone know of other 'good' works the National Socialists did?

    Siemens and Volkswagen and Hugo Boss were all closely connected to the Nazis.

    'Triumph of the will', a 1935 Nazi propaganda film is a good, interesting watch. In it you can see Hitler may have had some sort of infatuation with fire. Fitting that the lunatic ended up in a bunker surrounded by it.
