Love this show, I've studied the Nazis or years in Univeristy and have a BA Hons History degree n really disappointed that they've got the Nazis smoking (Which Hitler banned),
Also, hunting was banned under Hitler's authority.
Don't know why they had to put all that it, would have been so much authentic without the smoking etc...
*beep* they got it all wrong. The Nazis didn't win the war. SMH.
The Nazi did smoke, just because something is banned doesn't mean someone won't find a way to smoke it. Shocking that a fictional show didn't get historical facts right. I guess you didn't notice that Concorde jet in the first episode which was introduce in the mid to late 70's, built by the British-French and not the Germans. If you're going to nit pick about it, why don't you get that one right?
Don't get hurt kid. I'm not your daddy, I'll beat you senseless.
Glad you like the show. But even in the show, let's try sticking to getting the story line right. IE Thomas's muscular distropy vs. Hitler w/Parkinsons. Everyone who was anyone as a high ranking official at the heart of the Reich knew Hitler had Parkinsons. No secret. But I suppose him being him was allowed to live.
Thomas, being the son of the leader of the American Reich had to be reported no questions asked. But the one thing we just assume and the show never touched upon was that not one Nazi official ever questioned Hitler's health and deemed him a strain on the Reich. I get that they would never do that or even think of it but ya know. Just trying to point out that actual history and this show should never be compared to one another EVER. This show is 100% Dystopian and is based on a series of what if scenarios. What you bring up is a reach at best - and by some of the other replies, you're wrong anyway.
Try to enjoy that which is meant to entertain.

shareMy main gripe has always been that there is no way in hell that Germany could land troops on American soil. They couldn't even land troops on British soil, much less take it over. They weren't and have never been much of a naval force, compared to Britain and the US. If that isn't argument enough for you, Hitler's whole Hunger plan revolved around crippling the Russian military machine for long enough to be able to establish a steady border, depopulate Poland and the Ukraine and settle ethnic Germans there. That was it, that was what WW2 was about from a German perspective, that and punishing France, which had already happened by the time Germany started their war against Russia. Anything else as far as military operations is so far-fetched that it boggles my mind how anyone could take it seriously.

In addition, Rommel's early success prompted talk of driving through the Middle East into the Caucasus and linking up with the Nazi forces in the Soviet Union, then driving on India.
Whatever war aims the Nazis held initially, every success they had inspired more grandiose dreams. And don't forget the telling line in the official song of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront, "Denn heute gehört uns Deutschland und morgen die ganze Welt ("For today Germany belongs to us and tomorrow the entire world").
