You are missing one choice in the poll, namely "The Germans should not get an extra CSU."

They used subs way more than anyone else (till modern times when they were divided yada yada) so the u-boat would be cool

since the allies liked those U-boats in WWII so much I think they are important enough to be the special Unit.
==>or maybe as a special unit V1/V2!!!!!
since they were the nightmare of WWII and as far as I know not many other countries were using them
==>Why aren't they in the poll!!

I voted for Teutonic Knights. I know German units are known mostly from WWII, but remember the correlation between CSU and Golden Age.

IMHO Middle Ages were the time of Germany's Golden Age (Holy Roman Empire etc.)

On the other hand - WWII as the German Golden Age ?!?!?

True, but which one do you think is more important?

Sorry!!! But it seems a bit sadistic to have Vengeance weapons (which they were called) trigger a golden age.

(remember all goldenage things will be triggered by millitary victory )

WWII (and the period before) was the time when Germany got Industrious,All(great deal of them) highways were build in that period(what made their Blitzkriegg possible),...German economie got quite a boost in that period.

PS:Now I am sure they should have been in that list.

No. Other special units were mostly used to defeat other units. The V1 to V3 weapons were designed specifically to decimate british cities. They didn't attack military targets, but were solely used as terror weapons of mass destruction.

Everyone knows krautrockers Kraftwerk and Neu! are the only good things ever to have come out of Germany. Oh, military units? Not a clue. Never was interested in pointless details like that.

I voted for the U-Boat... This is supposing that the Holy Roman Empire was controlled mainly by the Spanish, French and Italians.

...Perhaps a slightly wrong supposition, but a valid one nontheless

Germany nearly conquered the world in WWII, how can you say that it cannot be considered a golden age

Wolfpacks.

U-boats are synonymous with the German military, there aren't any post-war weapons that are comparable in notoriety for obvious reasons.
