Their suppositions ask the audience to accept an awful lot. Not only did they completely forget about the Soviets, but they act like a Nazi sub could crawl its merry way through the Atlantic. Think about that one for a minute. Even if we accept that they could launch a nuclear SLBM (nope), they'd have to get it past the British and US navies to get close enough to the US Atlantic shore to hit the mainland. Plus, it's not like we're talking a 1960's era SLBM with targeting capability. Wile E Coyote built weapons with better aim. <br /><br />Worst, though, was that the show chickened out on offending the type of right wing elements in the US who would have approved of some or even most of the Nazi platform. As of 1944 a good chunk of this country officially endorsed racial segregation, and yet more privately discriminated. If a foreign government could successfully force us to capitulate, adding another ethnicity to a list of institutional discrimination would have been easy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080248961176338496.post-22952247750705402282011-09-21T19:29:36.013-05:002011-09-21T19:29:36.013-05:00So, we lost D-Day,what about the soldiers in italy...So, we lost D-Day,what about the soldiers in italy and Uncle Joe 'n' company pushing in from the east?
