I think the Nazi propaganda that became most accepted was the notion that the Versailles treaty was unfair, and that it's "harshness" led to WW2.

The side that was guilty for causing WWI is a contested issue. There is countless scholarship pointing to the British or the Russians being to blamed vs. Germany or Austria etc. etc. Germany's militarism certainly played a part but then so did Russia imperialism and Britain's economic and naval ambitions.

The wierdest war reparation I've ran across is a motorcycle design by DKW, RT 125. The plans were given to the US, UK and USSR. The bikes would become known as the Harley Hummer, the BSA Bantam and the M1A Moskva.

I learned this when researching the old Harley my Dad gave me.

was the first non-Germanic Waffen-SS division, and its formation marked the expansion of the Waffen-SS into a multi-ethnic military force. Composed of Bosnian Muslims (ethnic Bosniaks) with some Catholic Croat soldiers and mostly German and Yugoslav Volksdeutsche (ethnic German) officers and non-commissioned officers, it took an oath of allegiance to both Adolf Hitler and the Croatian leader Ante Pavelić.
