Name something the Germans didn't invent.

Airplanes.

Germany actually did invent this. The brothers Wright only stuck an engine to it. The first glider that actually deserved its name was inveted by Otto Lilienthal. He died in it. Without his work, the Wright brothers would not have been able to build their plane.

All inventions being based on some previous work, is it not the Wright who invented the airplane, and Lilienthal who invented the glider?
