Just found that out on wikipedia. Is this the best legacy that they left?

London, England had postcodes from the 1850s, introduced by Rowland Hill who also invented the modern postage stamp. Wikipedia is wrong or you misread it. Maybe they introduced the first postcodes for Germany.
The completion of the autobahn and the volkswagen, and contribution to rocket science are their most positive legacies.

The War time Germans helped with lots of things Ideas such as Flat packed buildings (old bunkers were ordered in flat packed form)
The Rocket with out the Germans the space race would probably never of happened and we would not know any thing like as much as we do about space and our universe.
The Germans were amazing inventors which is part of the reason they took over so much of the world (at the time)
During the war the Germans built lots of roads and train stations and tracks for supply lines Many are still used today.

Also, the high speed, multi-lane highway (Autobahn) that provides express roads for military movements of convoys of vehicles, for supply, re-supply!
The Eisenhower Highway system, known as the Interstate Highway System is just such a road! Commenced with the contruction start of the first section in 1950!
There were lots of firsts. They still left a legacy of evil deeds they were First at!

Good on admin those chaps. Led to the proof of the holocaust and The Final Solution. Everything had to be minuted when they agreed to bump everyone off, noted down ethnicity when they arrived, how many arrived and when and details of medical experiments. That is what you get for efficiency.

If you watch only one conspiracy documentary ever, make it this one. This just might be the best introductory video out there. Understand that every claim made in this is fact, not opinion, no matter how wild it sounds. It's all easily verifiable through mainstream news archives and public documents.

Was this so they could section our English towns and cities, then their bombing in the 1939-45 war would be more effective.
