What's the real story with Fanta, Coca Cola and Nazi Germany?

Claim: Fanta was invented by the Nazis. Status: False. Example: Collected on the Internet, 1998 I've heard a number of times that Fanta (which I think is owned by Coke) was created by Coca Cola in order to enable the company to sell soft drinks to the Nazis during World War II without having to worry about anyone seeing Hitler or Goebbels "having a coke and a smile."

Origins: The Fanta histories of a number of popular consumer items have been rumored to have at least tenuous connections with certain unsavory elements. Contemporary lore is rife with product rumors that assert ties to the Ku Klux Klan (e.g., Marlboro cigarettes, Snapple fruit drinks, KFC, Troop clothing, Tropical Fantasy fruit drink) and the Nazis (e.g., Coors beer), groups mainstream American society views as evil. Such rumors are wholly without substance.

Of all the product rumors of this class, only those associating the soft drink Fanta with Nazi Germany ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
