Here is a bizzare and fascinating piece of World War II history that not many people know.
Key point: Nazi Germany actually trained, equipped, and cooperated with the Republic of China before Berlin allied with Tokyo. In fact, Chang Kai-Shek's own son when to Germany for military training.
Most people who stayed awake for at least half of their high school history class knows that the Axis Powers in World War II consisted of Germany, Italy and Japan. But few know that German tactics and weapons—not to mention some actual Germans—helped the Chinese Nationalists stall Imperial Japan’s conquest of China.
