Awesome.


The Nazis created nature preserves, contemplated sustainable forestry, curbed air pollution, and designed the autobahn highway network as a way of bringing Germans closer to nature. How Green Were the Nazis? is the first book to examine the ideology and practice of environmental protection in Nazi Germany. Environmentalists and conservationists in Germany welcomed the rise of the Nazi regime with open arms, for the most part, and hoped that it would bring about legal and institutional changes. However, environmentalists soon realized that the rhetorical attention that they received from the regime did not always translate into action. Based on prodigious archival research, and written by some of the most important scholars in the field of twentieth-century German history, How Green Were the Nazis? illuminates the ideological overlap between Nazi ideas and conservationist agendas.

Godwin’s Law shall provide no protection against the Green Nazis. Manna for the Global Warming deniers. 

By the late 1930s, nature and the environment became less pressing concerns as Nazi Germany prepared and executed its extensive war.

Well, yes, something tells me they may have let the air pollution standards slip.
