They thought Germany actually won. I guess my teacher was drunk or something when they made it the previous night.
It could've been a rather interesting essay actually, if it wasn't for a History lesson.
But rather you have to answer the question of how Germany has won out in modern times on account of World War 2. In what ways has the outcome/events of World War 2 led Germany to come out as a successful country, or has it not?
Of course, as with any essay, you don't have to agree with the given statement/question, so you could really play with it.
