Did the Germans resist the Holocaust?
No. There were some Germans who helped Jews to escape and some who hid Jews; there were some who refused to commit murder, but there was no resistance to the Holocaust as such. Obviously, one needs to bear in mind that the Nazi regime did all it could to keep the Holocaust secret.

Did Nazi Germany develop Time Travel?
In 1938 Franz Von Hoffer developed Time Travel by accident. Using over a million volts of electricity in a Tri-Polar energy field he sent many Concentration victims back in Time more than 20,000 years. Heinrich Himmler was impressed. Anna Kreisling proposed equiping aircraft that could fly through time for recon missions. Adolf Hitler gave Anna Kreisling the approval to fly through time to see if Germany would emerge victorious over France in the secret military operation called CASE WHITE. Anna flew through time and learned that Germany would win its war against France! She landed at Templehoff airfield in 1939 and presented this vital information on Hitler's 50th birthday!!!

Did Austria fight with Germany in World War 2?
Austria united with Germany on March 12, 1938, so technically Austria was a part of Germany. It was more than just a technicality. Hitler was greeted in Linz and Vienna with delirious applause! Austrians were over-represented in the Gestapo and the terror apparatus more generally. Obviously, I'm aware that there were also some Austrians who heartily detested the Nazis. The events of March 12, 1938, marked the culmination of historical cross-national pressures to unify the German populations of Austria and Germany under one nation. However, the 1938 Anschluss, regardless of its popularity, was enacted by Germany. Earlier, Hitlerian Germany had provided support for the Austrian National Socialist Party (Austrian Nazi Party) in its bid to seize power from Austria's Austrofascist leadership. Fully devoted to remaining independent but amidst growing pressures, the chancellor of Austria, Kurt Schuschnigg, tried to hold a plebiscite. Although he expected Austria to vote in favour of maintaining autonomy, a well-planned internal overthrow by the Austrian Nazi Party of Austria's state institutions in Vienna took place on March 11, prior to the vote. With power quickly transferred over to Germany, the Wehrmacht troops entered Austria to enforce the Anschluss. The Nazis held a plebiscite within the following month, where they received 99.73% of the vote. No fighting ever took place and the strongest voices against the annexation, particularly Fascist Italy, France and the United Kingdom (the "Stresa Front"), were powerless or, in case of Italy, appeased. The Allies were, on paper, committed to upholding the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which specifically prohibited the union of Austria and Germany.
Austria was allied too Germany .. Hitler was an Austrian

What did Germany have to do when they signed the Treaty of Versailles?
The Germans had to destroy their military weapons, vehicles and ammunition. Many countries who were part of the Treaty of Versailles got their tanks, planes and other militaria. They had to reduce their army down to 100,000 troops. They were not allowed to use mechanized planes nor were they allowed to manufacture any war making devices of any sort. This destroyed their economy as people lost their jobs in that industry. The monetary reparations to other countries ruined the economy. Germans hated the Treaty of the Versailles.

What are the physical characteristics of an ethnic German person?
A vast majority of people whose roots are deep in the German geological regions are light skinned, blue eyed, and blonde. However, many people who live in Germany or hail from the region can be of any physical makeup. Many are dark haired and eyed as well. As of 2005, there were approximately 500,000 Afro-Germans out of 80 million people. It is hard to estimate the total figures on people race and looks in Germany because they do not use race, physical characteristics, or color as a distinguisher following the genocide of WWII.

Is Berlin the capital of Poland?
Historically, Berlin was the capital of the Prussia for centuries. When Prussia led the unification of Germany, it was natural that the Prussian capital would become the capital of the newly unified country. After World War II, East Berlin remained the capital of East Germany, but it became unwieldy as a capital for West Germany because of its being an enclave in East German territory. However, when Germany reunified in 1989, Berlin was reinstated as the capital of a united Germany as a nod to the historical nature of the city.
To Hitler the Jewish were an inferior race, he also believed they had tainted blood and they were infecting everyone else. That's why he executed them, to make "his world" a better place. I don't know why but Hitler hated the Jewish with malice.
What year was Germany defeated by Hitler?
World war II officially ended in 1945. England did not defeat the Germans alone. They were part of an allied army with the major armies being Russian and United States.

They simply did not have the resources or manufacturing necessary to keep up with the Germans industrial complex.
