The country that the Nazis took over was the most educated, most literate country in the world. They had the Nobel prize winners, the prestigious universities, and in many fields of study if you didn't live in Germany, you weren't educated unless you could read German.
- bell-cot 2y agoYes...though my impression is that the top Nazis themselves tended to rather less educated. They clearly understood how to produce guns, bombs, ammunition, land mines, poison gas, etc. at scale. (It's also my impression that the Nazis mostly treated the highly-educated and cultured as trophies and status symbols - often good for bragging about or being seen around...but not fit to make important decisions, nor to be appointed to high office.)
