It was both, the company was founded in Berlin and only moved to the Netherlands when Germany wasn't allowed to build planes and plane engines after WW1
Even more fun is that Fokker eventually moved to the US in the 1920s and morphed into North American Aviation, famous for producing the P-51 Mustang and other airplanes. Those fokkers was inside the house!
Shit like this makes me wonder if the rest of the world deserved WWII. Plunge a first-world country into an almost-comically absurd economic destitution, Hitler rises to power in a completely predictable manner, and the rest of the world goes
Of course, the asshole needed to be overthrown and choke on his own bullet. But, all of this could have been prevented if WWI's victors didn't fuck over Germany so hard.
The common consensus is that the Treaty of Versailles was not harsh enough to keep Germany down but too harsh to have a chance of reconciliation.
I believe a more generous peace and not putting all the blame on Germany could have been the seed for a more united Europe. But four years of brutal industrialised war and millions of casualties destroyed any chance of that.
Give it enough time and the equivalent next stories will be about egirl drone pilots that took down aircraft carriers from a bunker in the middle of landlocked nowhere.
There's one vtuber who claims to be active service navy and has a lot of weirdness about her branding and follow numbers. She smells like a government plant, but a very stupid one. Maybe a Bannon or Stone experiment?
Tomoe is fine. She doesn't really promote the military.
Admiral Trina is who I'm talking about. She got a weird spike in followers without a viral event and no change in ccv. It looked like she was botting. She got a lot of attention when she was promoting the navy at the same time they were bombing Iran. Not really a good look. It looks like she removed them, but she also had graphics that only the US Navy is allowed to use. If it wasn't for the weird spike in followers, I'd just say she's an idiot who can't read the room.

Funny joke. But Fokker was Dutch, not German.

This article is still pretty funny though.
