      Oh, you mean like denying the Holocaust happened? Besides being stupid for not paying attention to literally tons of evidence, the only other motivations are pretty bloody dark. Spreading such lies are truly closer to the real meaning of “ propaganda” and those that defend fascism are a danger to all.

      Yes, it's FICTION, a "what if" that can even make you ask if real history is ok. The book was better (as usual) but it's NOT propaganda, in fact it sends it up. This movie doesn't capture the book (characters are not as we thought of them). Let's read it again & see how it works. A confusing movie, but thanks for giving us a medium of comparison.

    NOTE TO CRITICS: If you've never had to edit a movie, commercial or news story, you probably don't understand how extremely difficult it is to cram a a 400-page book's worth of material into a 90-minute film, much less a major news story into 3-minute segment. Vast amounts of detail and context must be sacrificed due to time constraints -- even in multi-episode miniseries.
    Reading a book is an inherently different experience than watching a movie. Both media are capable of great things...but they will never be the same.

    People are nitpicking way too much into this film!! It was a simple"what if" fiction story. It was not made with a Hollywood blockbuster budget nor did it have to focus on every little aspect of WW2, and 9 times out of 10 movies don't follow their original book counterparts from which they are based down to the last letter. That would take forever, that is why movies are EDITED. Stop getting bogged down in technicalities and enjoy the film! By the way the addition of the Nazi Triumphal Arch and the Albert Speer dome to Berlin were very well done. For tv movie production this was certainly not bad. Plus with great actors like Rutger Hauer and Peter Vaughan, it was extra enjoyable! So there!

    Robert Harris' Fatherland is a fantastic work of historical fiction and was I completely engrossed while reading it and could not put it down. However, this adaptation was very poorly done and not convincing at all. The biggest glaring problem was that this adaptation lacked any 'German' feel whatsoever. Nazi Germany was German and the characters in this movie should have acted, sounded and felt like Germans rather than just a bunch of American actors running around in Nazi uniforms. There is a way about the German people that is unmistakable and this movie completely lacked that. If the producers of this movie concentrated more on this detail rather than trying to create all those images of Hitler's Germania the result would have been much better.

      I'm just 50 minutes into it and very bored with the film (I did not know a book existed). First of all, "Why would there be a 'cold war'?' Secondly, 'Hitler would have obliterated the Soviet Union using the new weapons his people were
      developing' Thirdly, 'He would not have cared one iota on having a summit with a man who made his fortune dealing with the mob and illegal booze. He who abstained from alcohol would have found the notion of meeting Kennedy
      repulsive, and for what purpose?' He had beaten the western powers including the USA and he would be calling the shots. A basic problem with 'novels' such as this is that the writers assume the USA would have remained a major
      player in world affairs. I'm not a prejudiced person but this film comes across as most Hollywood films do and to be frank there is in my opinion a very strong Jewish influence in it's production.

Then he sees like 3 pictures and hears some words off some papers, doesnt even read the papers, from some random journalist from a country that was at one time at war with germany and doesnt think for more than 2 seconds that this could be some bs. Yeah I get he was the whole movie like 'idk about these gestapo guys', but the way it turns from one sketchy murder to finding out the final solution in 10 like minutes and then somehow nobodys heard of that in like 20 years. And then the president of the US does the same exact thing moments before a big alliance and just dips, and that somehow means the reich ends even tho it seems like they were doing pretty good without that alliance to begin with.

      Not to mention that the idea that Germany would have won the war simply from a failed invasion of Normandy is silly, especially since the Allies already had a second front in Italy.
      But then again, the movie details had to be shortened to appeal to an audience that was simply unaware of the major details of the war. The book is far better written. In the book, Germany wins because they manage to successfully blockade the British isles (after finding out that their enigma code had been broken) and they break through in the Caucasus, allowing them to reach Soviet oil fields and reinvigorate the war effort. This delays the war into 1946, which allows Germany to develop the atomic bomb and the V3 rocket, which dissuade the Americans from further action.
      Also, the ending of the book is left as a cliffhanger and there is no implication whatsoever that the German Empire collapses.

    • @jvdesuit1

      May I remind you that when William Shirer's book "The rise and fall of the 3rd reich" was published in Germany in the early sixties, Adenauer had the nerve to ask the USA and Shirer personally to have the publishing stopped. That the German press had the nerve to pretend what was written were lies to intensify hate against the Germans!
      Read Shirer's memoirs If my memory doesn't fail me it is in his second volume. So a refusal of established facts from the German archives kept at the library of Congress which Shirer was able to use to write his book and was the first to do so, shows perfectly that it is possible to brainwash not only a whole population but many countries.
      As a French man I've just finished reading a biography of that lousy criminal who was Petain whom the USA were stupid enough to continue to try to support until 1944. Roosevelt who did not know the content of our constitution and how a French President was elected had the nerve to pretend that Pétain was a legally elected chief of State when he was absolutely not and moreover had all along the 4 years he was in power been sustaining a collaboration with the Nazis.
      Today many classified documents of the period have at last been opened to historians and the book on Pétain published in 2014 gives a full account of how that so called great soldier betrayed his country with his cronies and was lucky not to loose his head under the guillotine.
      So in conclusion the scenario could have perfectly happened but thank god there was Churchill and the RAF in particular who resisted those criminal monsters and the USA who are so proud of their acts during the war and of course should be nevertheless were not courageous enough to enter the war in 1939 and acted as accomplices of France and Great Britain by letting Hitler take power in 1933 and prepare to slaughter Europe and prepare the Final Solution.

      I enjoyed MITHC, but the idea that Japan and Germany could occupy the United States is wholly unbelievable. This alt history is a bit more believable. I think this book/movie was a bit off too. Even if the D-Day invasion had failed Germany was still too extended in Russia and were doomed to failure.

Also Germany made nukes at the same time US did so they didn't want to fight as Germany had ICBM tech with the V3 rockets.

      @Jebu911 it is too many what ifs. I don't see Germany being able to cross the Atlantic with a large invasion force. Even if they did, the USA is too large to occupy. 1940s America was too well supplied from within. The US could not he blockaded and starved into submission. The Russia factor would need to be solved too. I forget how they dealt with that in book/series, but Russia was equally unoccupiable.

    I've had my issues with exactly how this world came about, they're pretty vague about it, but other than that it's always been an excellent and entertaining film. Of all the Nazi films I've seen, this one always stands out. I'm not going to bash it for being worse than the much better book of course, because I know that's not how films work, they're never like their books, when there are books at all to base them on. But for it's time and content, I would say this is a film worth watching.

      We don't know anyone's history, how or why they are the way they are. Nor do we know what they are capable of doing with the abilities or apparent disabilities they have. Under what Pili has been taught to understand, it would have been better if the 'deformed' clockmaker had never been born, just because he was different. (And from there, it would not be large leap to eradicating those like him who do exist at the time). Becoming an angel is just a metaphorical flourish to represent beauty or perfection, a potential beyond what we can comprehend now.

      1. Weapns grade plutinium was found in various sites in Europe by the allies.
      2. Enriching uranium was a slow proces. USA goes from not having enought to test 1 bomb to having a plethera, enought to do those lates 40s tests bomb after bomb after bomb.
