"Fanta is a brand of fruit-flavored soft drink from the Coca-Cola Company, introduced for the first time in Germany in 1940.
Fanta was devised during World War II in Nazi Germany by the German Coca Cola (GmbH) bottling company. Due to restrictions on shipping between Nazi Germany and the United States during hostilities, the German bottling plant could no longer get Coca Cola syrup."
Check here for all the details:

Yes and no.
Coca Cola Germany was cut off from crucial resources during the war. So they put some ersatz stuff together and had a naming contest. One guy said that it tastes "fantastic" and they went with that - Fanta.
So it was technically not for the Nazis, but they had a hand in it, as they started the war.
Hence, I like to call it "Nazi cola".

Yes, it was originally supposed to be rocket fuel in the last days of WWII.
Not really.

According to snopes.com - no. It was not invented for or by the Nazis.
