German Colonization

[nbushyager]

Hey guys,

Let me know your opinions on this. I was listening to some of Hitlers speeches and he talks about Germany not having the colonies or international connections that the others do (France, Britain, Spain, Italy, Portugal, USA etc.) and therefore Germany has to plan and manage everything very well. We all know the modern day German stereotype of always on time, planners of detail, serious, engineers etc etc. Do you think this is rooted in the history of colonization or lack of colonies? I know they had some colonies but how much did they really get from Namibia? Just food for thought.
