1. Anti-Smoking Movement
There are a rumor said
that Adolf Hitler is against on smoking in his later life that he could not
stand someone smoking in the same room, and often felt obligated to something
that only can waste money. Therefore, he began one of the most expensive and
effective anti- tobacco movements during 1930s and 1940s. It was taken seriously in Nazi Germany during
that time. Smoking in the restaurant and
public transportation system, citing public health and other public places were
banned. The Nazis also increase tobacco tax and the supplies of cigarettes to
the Wermacht were rationed. Several health organizations also claim that
smoking may harm pregnant women during that time and now are commonly known
facts.
2.Invention of Rocketry
Wernher Von Braun, the
father of rocketry was a member of the Nazi party. He aided both Germany and
U.S in the use of rockets during and after World War II, and eventually became
a naturalized U.S citizen. He was best known for his achievement in NASA.
Undoubtedly, his best achievement is when he develop Saturn V booster rocket
that finally help mankind to reach the moon. In July 1969, He officially opened
the gate to space travel through his innovative invention.
3. Animal Protection Law
When the Nazis seize
the power in 1933, their main concerns was not only for the people but also the
native animal of Germany. In 1934, a national hunting law was passed to control
how many animals could be killed per year. This particular hunting law has now
been applied in most of the western countries. In 1935, another law was passed
which is Reich Nature Protection Art. This law protected several native animals
such as wolf and Eurasian lynx. Without this law, some species may have completely
extinct from Germany’s forests.
