Hitler hasn't invented either highways or microphones.Marc Lamont Hill@marclamonthillAnd for the record, contrary to what @kanyewest says, Hitler did not invent the highway or the microphone. That’s actually ridiculous. Even if it were true, it wouldn’t make Ye’s Nazi-sympathizing any less disgusting. But it’s worth noting that it’s absolutely not true.1019182And for the record, contrary to what @kanyewest says, Hitler did not invent the highway or the microphone. That’s actually ridiculous.

However, these roads were still far from what we see today.

As per Legends of America, The National Road was completed in 1834 and was the first government-funded road.No, Adolf Hitler was not the inventor of microphones eitherMelissa (TheBookN3rd) 🐀@TheBookN3rdHitler didn't invent highways or the microphone. The Autobahn came about during Hitler's regime. Siemen's microphones were popularized during the 1930s. Historical facts.

Since then, the device has evolved technologically and has become the microphone we use today.The credits for the development of the microphone in the US goes to Emile Berliner and Thomas Edison, who introduced it to the country in mid-1877. Meanwhile, David Edward Hughes is credited for the development of the device in England.All of this took place long before 1930s when Adolf Hitler became a prominent figure in Germany.
