The affair re-heated during FDR’s presidency. These two blows would have effectively ended his political career. Eleanor vowed to divorce FDR if the relationship did not end pronto, and FDR’s mother threatened to write him out of the family’s money. Roosevelt found a packet of love letters from Lucy. Eleanor found out about his affair with the beautiful socialite just after Franklin returned from Europe in September of 1918 with a galloping case of the Spanish influenza. Lucy, it may be recalled, was Eleanor’s social secretary while Franklin was Woodrow Wilson’s assistant secretary of the Navy. The Nazi Church scene with stained glass swastikas everywhere but no cross in sight gave me the creeps.In the years since his death, some retrospective diagnoses have included a series of mini-strokes, poisoning by enemies of the state, and a malignant melanoma. Notice how our current desire to avoid the tiniest bit of suffering mushrooms into the public mandate of ending pain through compulsory euthanasia for those deemed “suffering.” So much truth in this piece of fiction! Lots of backstabbing and skullduggery from the precipice of a skyscraper to the Nazi ladies bridge club-like Ayn Rand but much more polished.įrom an historical perspective I find the events to be completely plausible. ![]() You need to pay attention to who knows what. From a strictly literary sense it pulls you in with excellent characters, wonderful character development and a superior plot. The series is fantastic! Enlightening, intelligent, and relevant. That was THE intelligence that won the Battle of Britain. Not implausible since Germany was also developing the Goethe bomber-a flying wing that could fly to New York-at the close of the war.Īlso, you could say that the only reason Germany didn’t make it to England was the incredibly important acquisition of Enigma and superior intel. Other details are left for you to fill in. TV: Nazis get the bomb first and nuke DC and some other cities (Boston?). Rushmore.īook: FDR is assassinated in 1937 by an Italian group prolonging the Great Depression and forcing a weak US into the war. The theme is "Edelweiss" from "The Sound of Music" but it's so stripped down and minimalist and quiet it comes across as a funeral dirge for America while a projector projects paratrooper tears on the faces of Mt. In closing, you should see it if only for the opening credits-quite possibly the best I've seen on TV ever. What other similarities will the show display between liberalism and Nazis? Physician assisted suicide? Environmentalism? Education? I'm only half way through the second season. I'm feeling a bit conflicted right about now." And now we-whoa! Suddenly, I'm agreeing with Nazi indoctrination. They don't teach it like that in our schools. I can imagine a lefty pumping his fist at first, "Yeah! That's right! We tried to kill off the Indians. "Surely the Japanese must have taught you about the North American exterminations." Hmph! How 'bout that! Nazis are environmentalists! Of course, I knew that all along but here we have a TV show from a Hugo award winning book reminding people of that fact as well.Īnd I can imagine the dissonance in a liberal's head when Thomas helps another character, Julianna from the Japanese Pacific States, study for her Reich citizenship test. Then we have the scene where a bunch of partying "Liebensborne" (Hitler spawn) young adults are discussing the importance of environmentalism. It occurred to me that if you wanted to write an episode against the horrors of physician assisted suicide you couldn't do better than this. Smith is, of course, torn and devastated. The doctor has prepared a cyanide kit for Smith to inject his son in the comfort of his home without the involvement of the hospital or state. The doctor understands but makes it clear that if the diagnosis goes outside of his office it becomes an "institutional issue." It sinks in that his son, Thomas, will be euthanized by the Nazis as a matter of policy. They go back and forth and finally Smith wants a second opinion. ![]() He sits in the doctor's office in total denial. A three star general in the SS, John Smith, has a son diagnosed with a deadly genetic disorder. Take for instance, physician assisted suicide. It seems that every plank in the liberal platform is embraced by the Nazis and portrayed in all their horrible reality. And this is where it gets problematic for libs. ![]() ![]() The Nazis are accurately portrayed as they would have to be for such a show to garner such attention. The Resistance fights on from the Neutral Zone in the Rockies. Japan controls the west from the coast to the Rocky Mountains. I love this show! I'm catching up-half way through season 2.
