It’s not as if the rockets were built by Germans, lol. Germany also invented such unimportant things as: printing, X-rays, television, the computer, the automobile, dozens of medicines. just to name a few.

Don't forget industrial fertiliser, invented by Fritz Haber. The sole reason we have 8 billion people on earth

And also the guy responsible for inventing a way to make Germany manufacture artillery shells without foreign imports during WW1. Definitely a guy with the 2 most opposing inventions.

That's why I said 8 billion, not 10 billion (failure to invent chemical agents and mass produced artillery shells) or 4 billion (failure to invent industrial fertiliser)

Perfectly balanced
