as a german I'm a bit disturbed they didn't call it Nazi-Germany in the text. And the nazis tried to get any gold for foreign exchange, even from gold teeth of jews they executed, so I have some doubts about this story ..
- arst 16y agoas a german I'm a bit disturbed they didn't call it Nazi-Germany in the text. Why do you find this disturbing?
- sethg 16y agoThe text mentions World War II, so it’s clear from context who was running Germany at the time. Germany was still Germany during the Holocaust, just as the United States was still the United States when it was committing genocide against Native Americans, Belgium was still Belgium when it was responsible for atrocities in the Congo, etc., etc.

Rather it was the personal colony of King Leopold of Belgium and was handed over to the parliamentary government of Belgium after the atrocities came to light.

- ddfisher 16y agoThe most recent edit to the article prepended "Nazi" to "Germany" and contributed nothing further. This seems rather unnecessary, as the sentence clearly specifies that this occurred during WWII. Did you make this change?
