This is a funny photo manipulation a friend created for me (I added the text) it shows a german Reichskriegsflagge instead of the american flag XD

The reason is, that Germany would´ve done the first moon landing, if it had won in at least one world war, because it had the best knowledge of rockets and planes, thanks to people like Wernher von Braun. So a moon landing in the late 50s or early 60s would´ve been possible.

In this scenario I decided that the Kaiserreich has the honour to conqer the moon xD of course the first Astronaut on the moon would´ve used patriotic words:

A small step for a human, but a huge step for the Empire!

Ein kleiner Schritt für einen Menschen, aber ein großer für das Reich!

I used the Reichskriegsflagge and not the national flag, because the mission would surely have a military character. Maybe later on the second astronaut would´ve set up the national flag^^

Don´t be offended it´s just fun :)

Thank you my great Kamerad for the help!:

Haha...
Das wäre ja was gewesen...
Trotzdem eine irgendwie makabere Vorstellung.
Wer weiß, wenn alles anders gelaufen wäre damals.
Auf jeden Fall eine lustige Idee!

Möglich wäre es gewesen, wenn die Geschichte einen anderen Verlauf genommen hätte, hätte das Deutsche Reich leicht die technischen Möglichkeiten dazu entwickeln können und zwar schneller als die Amis...nur die beiden Kriege haben das verhindert.

Danke fürs Kompliment^^

Ja, wenn man die großen Fortschritte damals denkt...
Und die großartigen Wissenschaftler die Deutschland hatte.

I think this is partly true.
american tech based off of german V-2 rockets,. german alliance changed scientists.
and Neil Armstrong was of German ancestory.
The mask is on but, the body is the same.

Yes after the war some german scientists went to America, some were kidnapped and all patents from the military were stolen, too of course XD

Our technology was 10 years more development than from all others, but our problem was, we had no recources, and one super jet has no use, when 1 million russian rusty tanks invade your land XD

Well if Germany would´ve conquered really the moon, maybe with a bit more technological know how, we would have a base there now XD

The Swastika moonbase on the far side of the moon is amusing to say the least.
