Germany

The Berlin wall is one but i dont no two sorry!

It was rebuilt with Allied assistance and this did much to alleviate famine. The country was divided, occupied and governed by French, British, Russian and American troops. The US Marshal Plan was the alternative chosen to replace the demands of some, that Germany be reduced to the status of an agrarian society.

Starvation was rife amongst the various "displaced persons," a category that only came into use after the defeat. Slaves and others brought in to aid war production were unable to return to their homelands because the Russians had seized them and closed the borders and besides that, they had no papers to validate their claims of ownership or nationality. The majority of ex-German soldiers were "de-Nazified" and turned loose to swell the ranks of the desperate. That is, except to ones captured by the Russians, the majority of whom, vanished. Russians captured by the Germans were executed when returned to Russia by the Allies.

Frankfurt Hahn Airport is approximately 72 miles from Frankfurt main Airport. The driving time between these two airports is approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

This would be the "Battle of France" in 1940. In short: The German armies used rapid movement based warfare with aircraft as close support to replace the slow moving artillery units and won an old fashioned war of manoeuvre against a static enemy.

In long: They concentrated their armoured units and fast moving support infantry into "spear heads" which broke through the French and British lines allowing units to move rapidly (dangerously far infact) into the rear areas of the allies, capturing supply dumps, overrunning airfields, destroying communications networks.

The continuous speed of the German advance continued to catch units before they could form new lines, the concentrated force of the spear head overwhelmed resistance - for instance Allied armour was spread thin along their units, German armour concentrated in the thrusts - and forced the retreat of the units to either side.

The Allied armies couldn't react fast enough to close the gaps and so retreated to try and reform their line, command and control broke down, the roads were crowed with routed troops and civilian refugees making the job of reforming units even harder.

The best equipped French units had advanced into Belgium expecting a rerun of the first world war and were out flanked by the German thrust through the heavily wooded Ardennes region. This left a French army group and the British Expeditionary Force pinned against the channel coast while the majority of the French army, now missing it's best armoured units, pushed south towards Paris the Battle of France was all but won. (Or lost!)

Germany is 295 kilometers, or about 183 miles, from the United Kingdom at their closest points. One must travel over the North Sea from the U.K. to Germany, or you must travel through France and under the Channel tunnel, for the shortest connectivity. The shortest route would likely travel through Belgium and/or the Netherlands, in addition to France and the Channel/North Sea.

yes Germany did hav a colony

It depends,

there are no frequent hurricanes or tornadoes in Germany. However, it can be very windy in the northern part of Germany, especially along the coast (the north- and east- sea). The main 'windy' month are autumn (Oct) and spring (April) but heavy winds can also occur in the summer, mainly with thunderstorms. Very seldom there are weather phenomena that act like a 'micro-tornado'. This means you can have strong winds on just one road an two or three blocks away almost no wind.

No. People in France speak French. Some of the people near the French-German border learn German in school though.

Since 1859 they have been red what has become known as Post Office red. Before 1859 they were green which is the colour of post boxes in the Irish Republic.

Depends on the person. Some speak only one language, some speak more than one. Each country has at least some people who speak 2 languages or more. A further point: Most Germans learn English at school, often to a respectable or high standard. In fact, in Germany people who cannot speak (and read) a foreign language are considered uneducated.

First of all Europe is not a country, it is a Continent.
