It's an interesting to see the contrast between the two; a John Smith surrounded by the widely glorified, exquisitely decorated National Socialist imagery surrounded by crowds of people indifferent to him but clearly putting on a front, not truly embracing the ideology, and Frank Frink undergoing a humble, simple Bar Mitzvah in a plain barn, surrounded by friends, clearly embracing who he is.
I have always believed in a final redemption of John Smith and his initiative to overthrow the Nazi regime by disintegrating it from within. It was unfortunate to find that he had no repentance until his death.
Why? What would be the point in recreating the parallel universe in a second one? Why even have a show based in the opposite? It makes more sense when he cuts ties with Berlin, and commands a characteristically Anglo and North American dictatorship with our libertarian tendencies
@user-ym6ew6lt2p This is what people don't realize. It's difficult to step outside of the ideas and things that have shaped and influenced us. Capitalism has worked for so long, and for all people alive in North America today, for all of our lives. In John Smith's world, Capitalism had failed and was not redeemed since the Great Depression did not end until Nazi Germany won WW2. Humans have a psychological tendency to rally around the victors. It is only a minority that does not do this. The only parallel that I can think of in history right away are the Ridda Wars when Islam first swept over the Middle East, where the Arab tribes rebelled. After a generation or two, this kind of rebellion ceases to exist, because all of the young who were born into the "new normal" have already been normalized to the new society, as is the case of when this series takes place. It doesn't even take this long for people to become institutionalized to the point of normalcy, either.
He did have a certain repentance in the end. When his wife asks him to stop the new directives from Berlin he replies "I don't know how". He's been repressing the atrocities by convincing himself it was necessary, but when it happens all over again in the Western states, he realises the evil will never end.
I love how originally smith joined out of safety and keeping his head down, but evolved into a realization that he can get power, and a lot of it. It leads to this point
The problem was that they changed writers after season 2. The first two seasons were on point. The last two, I felt something was off even though I really liked the whole series as a whole. One part I thought was off and was poor writing was the scene where the two men kissed in public in the restaurant in Denver. That is a very anachronistic, 2020-ish contemporary way of thinking, shoehorned into the show. The writer of that scene obviously did not stop to think about how conservative not only Nazi Germany would've still been, but how conservative US society still would've been even in the neutral zone considering there would've been no counterculture in the US. I grew up as a kid in the 80's in California, and not once did I ever see gay men kiss in public then. It's almost like whoever wrote that scene was 22 years old and never studied history.

You're absolutely right. However, media aimed at the masses will make concessions to appease popular knowledge. Most people only know them as "Nazis" and production companies target the lowest common denominator when possible.
@@Peter-bx7ip Not necessarily true. In France and other countries that Germany occupied during the war, they used the term Nazi before the war when referring to the Party. Once the occupation started the term Nazi was not used and people knew the proper term very quickly, National Socialist. Had America ever been occupied the Germans would have made very sure that the term Nazi was purged from the American minds and within a few months everyone would be calling them National Socialists.
"Nazi" was basically a shortened title for members of the NationalSozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei. It was not necessarily said as a slur or insult as it was simply used to refer to a party member (which is understandable considering how long the word was) As the war went on, however, the term "Nazi" was used by enemies of the Reich as a derogatory term to refer to a German of that time.
Just a thought. Wouldn't it be wild if John Smith (from Stephen King's "The Dead Zone") experienced *this* before dying? With Holocaust memories from his psychiatrist, but none of his own. Then wakes up from a *second* coma as Johann Schmidt the HYDRA fürher.
The most believable part of this alternate history is the desire for the Nazis to rewrite history. Without knowing anything about what they really did, I can wholeheartedly believe they would do thay
John Smith is a villain but tragic role, because the circunstances pulled him, and made him a ruthless, cold-hearted and a brilliant strategist, but the script was against him. Juliana Crain is supposed to be the main role, but Alexa Davalos has a lack of acting performance, despite her face is so beautiful.
The use of the Reichsmarshall title is curious. Hermann Georing was not one who was willing to share prestige. It would have made greater sense in the historical context for John Smith to have the title of Reichskommissar, Reichsprotektor or Reichsminister. Reichsmarshall was sole reserved for the Chief of the Luftwaffe, and was created to elevate Goering above the rank of Field Marshall in the military hierarchy.
in the series Hermann Georing as been dead for years he tried to coup the Reich when Hitler in a coma from his bad health so at that point he's a traitor to the party so no need to keep he's tittle for symbolic reason
@aoki6332 but that makes less sense. The office of Reichsmarshall would have been abolished then. Hitler showed a penchant for it when he dissolved Hess' position and made Bormann Chief of the Party Chancellory in his place. Given that the Occupied Eastern Territories of the Reich (Lettland, Ostland and Ukraine) were referred to as Reichskommissariats, than there should have been a Reichstkommissariat der USA.
oh and basically the reason i believe they use that term is that i believe George Lincoln Rockwell was given the tittle in 1953-1960 so probably after The Herman Goering coup so he became the successor that why he's wearing a Luftwaffe uniform until Smith took his place and he was assassined after he was exiled so they give him a symbolic tittle for the Luftwaffe for his military time on the US air Force
@@aoki6332 it's just odd to me tbh.😅 I've put a lot of time into studying the Nazis and their plans, so the terminology, while generally unimportant, still bothers me.

@@Jose.AFT.Saddul The BCR is the spirit of Judeo-Bolshevism rebranded for the unsuspecting viewers. Nothing honorable or good about them. Much of the show/book fictional settings would not have happened if the Axis won the war anyways. The Germans had no interest in North America.
"Year 0" 2030. I'll never understand the calendar battles - unless calendar changes are only meant as a symbol of a greater purge of worldview and discourse. I missed watching this series. I think it's worth a glance - along with A Man For All Seasons, a movie I never watched.
Most of the time our calendar in the west changed was to rectify deviation as her understanding of earth rotation and place in the Solar System changed, but Himmler wanted to cleanse the world and create a new one on top of it. That why the Years 0 to tell the beginning of a new world free of the old one.
It was interesting to hear that John said "German Reich" here, not "Nazi Reich". Like many others I found it weird that they would call it Nazi Reich in this series when they didn't even like the term Nazi and it was always supposed to be the German people ruling the world. But this scene showed that probably the official name was German Reich, and they just kinda went along with the Nazi Reich term because everyone else was already calling it that.
One thing this series got right that most fictional depictions (and even academic examinations) of National Socialism get wrong, is that it is ideologically progressive and radically anti tradition. Anything that didn't push the "Volk" towards the "Future" had to be totally destroyed.
What I love about this scene is that it shows how influential one speech can be to the masses when for years they have been taught to believe one thing and with the Jews how for 5000 years they have suffered yet no matter what history throws at them they like roaches survive. Its rather amazing.
@@AmiiboDoctor I just used the term roaches because those things are hard to kill. Basically what I was trying to say is they are hard to wipe out and if you think you can good luck
@@presidenteden6498 People have no real reason to wipe out the Jewish Population they just want someone to blame for their problems and just point fingers at a group for the most bullshit of reasons.
I understand the point you're trying to make (resiliency of the Jewish people) but to directly compare the Jewish people to roaches sounds is anti-Semitic.
I myself am amazed and impressed that there are still Jews alive and practicing their faith. No doubt in hiding. I'd love to know how the hell they've pulled this off.
Well throughout history Jews tended to be very good at not dying off. Like the Romans would try to kill them off by crucifying them, throwing them in arenas with the lions, executions galore. So the resistance probably helped them out like what happened in real life with many resistance movements. They could have also been really good at hiding their Jewish heritage.
I mean there were millions outside of Germany and Western Europe who had ample time to flee and chose to do so, I am more surprised at people like you taking lies at face value and believing the eternal victim 😂
Both are in ways victims both trying to safe themselves and their loved ones by any means possible. John smith wasn’t evil he was a man first with a family he loved but also wanted purpose and he found that in the reich despite his dislike at times with it.
Jahr Null (Year Zero) North Korea & Taiwan in 1912: excuse me?? (North Korea's Juche calendar, implemented in 1997, officially starts in Kim Il-sung's birth year 1912; Taiwan's official name "Republic of China", founded by Chiang Kai-shek & Sun Yat-sen in 1912, fled to Taiwan in 1949 after being defeated by Mao Ze-dong and the Communist Party)
There would be no North Korea or Taiwan in this world. Korea was only divided since the USSR invaded Korea when they declared war against Japan on August 8, 1945, this was per their arrangement with FDR that they would go to war with Japan 90 days after the fall of Germany. They had occupied a portion of Korea when Japan unconditionally surrendered on August 15, 1945, and still had around 750.000 troops there which the USA quickly rushed in to accept their surrender. In this universe, Germany never was defeated, and the USSR never invaded Korea, thus it is united, but under Japanese rule, they annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910. Japan controlled Taiwan (then called Formosa) since 1895 as that was their spoils of war, the Sino-Japanese War 1894-95.
There was no bling bling lametta on the German WW2 uniforms, only Iron Cross and Knights Cross in diffrent levels. The Iron cross was also not worn, only a tri color ribbon for 2nd class a brest cross for 1st class and the Knights Cross above was worn around the neck, but only at parade uniforms or general uniforms. All other awards have been little stripes on the honour badge stripe. Other medals or orders have never been worn.

So what? Game of throne let him to take power in any costs, highest ranking is not a perfect thing to a man.
The most believable part of this alternate history is the desire for the Nazis to rewrite history. Without knowing anything about what they really did, I can wholeheartedly believe they would do thay
Bro john smith was so fking badass with those drip
John Smith is a villain but tragic role, because the circunstances pulled him, and made him a ruthless, cold-hearted and a brilliant strategist, but the script was against him. Juliana Crain is supposed to be the main role, but Alexa Davalos has a lack of acting performance, despite her face is so beautiful.
I loved this series. I also love that if I want to jump into that world, I can just fire up Wolfenstein New Order or New Colossus!
John Smith stole the show 😮
He had it all.
Open the quantum gate to this wonderful world!
You'll get your wish when Drumpf's Oberstgruppenführer again. 💀
The use of the Reichsmarshall title is curious. Hermann Georing was not one who was willing to share prestige. It would have made greater sense in the historical context for John Smith to have the title of Reichskommissar, Reichsprotektor or Reichsminister. Reichsmarshall was sole reserved for the Chief of the Luftwaffe, and was created to elevate Goering above the rank of Field Marshall in the military hierarchy.
in the series Hermann Georing as been dead for years he tried to coup the Reich when Hitler in a coma from his bad health so at that point he's a traitor to the party so no need to keep he's tittle for symbolic reason
@aoki6332 but that makes less sense. The office of Reichsmarshall would have been abolished then. Hitler showed a penchant for it when he dissolved Hess' position and made Bormann Chief of the Party Chancellory in his place.
Given that the Occupied Eastern Territories of the Reich (Lettland, Ostland and Ukraine) were referred to as Reichskommissariats, than there should have been a Reichstkommissariat der USA.
oh and basically the reason i believe they use that term is that i believe George Lincoln Rockwell was given the tittle in 1953-1960 so probably after The Herman Goering coup so he became the successor that why he's wearing a Luftwaffe uniform until Smith took his place and he was assassined after he was exiled so they give him a symbolic tittle for the Luftwaffe for his military time on the US air Force
@@aoki6332 it's just odd to me tbh.😅
I've put a lot of time into studying the Nazis and their plans, so the terminology, while generally unimportant, still bothers me.
A Reichskommissar governed an area under military occupation, right?
If only we had more John Smith’s today. Courage, loyalty, heroism.
stfu nazi
@@loganvanderwier8866 lmao, a sniveling dweeb who has never picked up a weight in his life and looks completely Semitic crying about Nazis. Imagine my shock.
John Smith is a traitor.
@@tomasmieger6826 you can try, freak. But nobody was even talking to you in the first place
Stfu about loyalty. The man betrayed his country, his friends, and himself. He’s not heroic, everything he did was to survive. We don’t need more of people like him.
The irony of this scene is that this America looks safer and more prosperous than modern clown world America.
Let’s just ignore the BCR
@@Jose.AFT.Saddul The BCR is the spirit of Judeo-Bolshevism rebranded for the unsuspecting viewers. Nothing honorable or good about them. Much of the show/book fictional settings would not have happened if the Axis won the war anyways. The Germans had no interest in North America.
@@Jose.AFT.Saddul The BCR would have been crushed fighting the Nazis
@@majorsynthqed7374This Show did a starwars. The moment the “emperor” was killed the reich army suddenly stopped their invasion.
"Year 0" 2030.
I'll never understand the calendar battles - unless calendar changes are only meant as a symbol of a greater purge of worldview and discourse.
I missed watching this series.
I think it's worth a glance - along with A Man For All Seasons, a movie I never watched.
Most of the time our calendar in the west changed was to rectify deviation as her understanding of earth rotation and place in the Solar System changed, but Himmler wanted to cleanse the world and create a new one on top of it. That why the Years 0 to tell the beginning of a new world free of the old one.
Nice video about The Great Reset! Thanks for posting..
A nightmare, I'm happy that it never happened
A dream
It was interesting to hear that John said "German Reich" here, not "Nazi Reich". Like many others I found it weird that they would call it Nazi Reich in this series when they didn't even like the term Nazi and it was always supposed to be the German people ruling the world. But this scene showed that probably the official name was German Reich, and they just kinda went along with the Nazi Reich term because everyone else was already calling it that.
This was where the show was still good. Last 2 seasons it rapidly declined.
One thing this series got right that most fictional depictions (and even academic examinations) of National Socialism get wrong, is that it is ideologically progressive and radically anti tradition.
Anything that didn't push the "Volk" towards the "Future" had to be totally destroyed.
Das ist die Jahr Null Schlager! 🕺♪ヽ(･ˇ∀ˇ･ゞ)🎉
Fuck yeah! HAIL VICTORY!
What I love about this scene is that it shows how influential one speech can be to the masses when for years they have been taught to believe one thing and with the Jews how for 5000 years they have suffered yet no matter what history throws at them they like roaches survive. Its rather amazing.
Given the context of the video... perhaps "roaches" isn't the best way to describe them.
@@AmiiboDoctor I just used the term roaches because those things are hard to kill. Basically what I was trying to say is they are hard to wipe out and if you think you can good luck
@@presidenteden6498 People have no real reason to wipe out the Jewish Population they just want someone to blame for their problems and just point fingers at a group for the most bullshit of reasons.
@@presidenteden6498Read some early '900 books, and then look how many of the top 100 billionaires are jews..
I understand the point you're trying to make (resiliency of the Jewish people) but to directly compare the Jewish people to roaches sounds is anti-Semitic.
The show should have focused strictly on Smith.
And Kido. They were the two best characters on the show.
Kier Starmer was modelled after John Smith.
Why the music of this scene is not present in the score album?:(
dunno
did you find the music? let me know if you did
I myself am amazed and impressed that there are still Jews alive and practicing their faith. No doubt in hiding. I'd love to know how the hell they've pulled this off.
Well throughout history Jews tended to be very good at not dying off. Like the Romans would try to kill them off by crucifying them, throwing them in arenas with the lions, executions galore. So the resistance probably helped them out like what happened in real life with many resistance movements. They could have also been really good at hiding their Jewish heritage.
I mean there were millions outside of Germany and Western Europe who had ample time to flee and chose to do so, I am more surprised at people like you taking lies at face value and believing the eternal victim 😂
@@spaman7716 Flee to where?
@@spaman7716 uh, he's clearly talking about a fictional TV show.. you accomplished nothing with that edgelord statement
Yeah... Very much like cockroaches in fact.
Or parisitic worms.
3:46 Damn, it's epic.
Both are in ways victims both trying to safe themselves and their loved ones by any means possible. John smith wasn’t evil he was a man first with a family he loved but also wanted purpose and he found that in the reich despite his dislike at times with it.
I simply can't understand why 109 countries kicked them out
The Reichsmarschall was a military rank and not an administrative one.
imagine if new york looked like this
なんだか、アメリカ人が演じると、恰幅が良すぎて、ナチスの軍服が似合わないんですよね。ドイツ人って、肩幅で胸薄なのが、身体的特徴なんですよ。だから、あの軍服が余計に格好良く見える。行ったことの良し悪しはともかくとしてね。
Exactly!
The glory of the world as it might have been.
Goertzmann would have ultimately regretted handing North America to John Smith. If ever a series was ended so terribly, terribly too soon
Goertzmann still had all of Europe and that includes Russia too. Plus he still had a much larger military and more nukes.
Nice uniform that is
The voice Bane 😂😂😂
Anyone know the name of the ost for this scene?
Vërrat
Some sort of disconnect here . . . video is a 1929 recording of a Wagner march . . . but most comments are about some tv show . . . too strange.
Probably because it looks like a successful March
Uberreichsgruperfurhermarschall.
John Smith
The show started with such high expections. WTF happened to the ending? Almost like they just gave up on telling the story.
Um mundo sem bandido , ladrão .... pena que não deu certo
I'm a WW II buff. But I thought Man in the High Castle was shallow and long-winded.
my name is John Smith
What could have been.. beautiful.

Jahr Null (Year Zero)
North Korea & Taiwan in 1912: excuse me??
(North Korea's Juche calendar, implemented in 1997, officially starts in Kim Il-sung's birth year 1912; Taiwan's official name "Republic of China", founded by Chiang Kai-shek & Sun Yat-sen in 1912, fled to Taiwan in 1949 after being defeated by Mao Ze-dong and the Communist Party)
There would be no North Korea or Taiwan in this world. Korea was only divided since the USSR invaded Korea when they declared war against Japan on August 8, 1945, this was per their arrangement with FDR that they would go to war with Japan 90 days after the fall of Germany. They had occupied a portion of Korea when Japan unconditionally surrendered on August 15, 1945, and still had around 750.000 troops there which the USA quickly rushed in to accept their surrender. In this universe, Germany never was defeated, and the USSR never invaded Korea, thus it is united, but under Japanese rule, they annexed the Korean Peninsula in 1910. Japan controlled Taiwan (then called Formosa) since 1895 as that was their spoils of war, the Sino-Japanese War 1894-95.
and my uniform kink is kicking in...

Bruh the intermission of a Jewish ceremony in between what would be an epic scene is peak Yiddish cinematography 😂
What is the name of the stick he hands him? Something Roman like
It's a Marshal's baton.
There was no bling bling lametta on the German WW2 uniforms, only Iron Cross and Knights Cross in diffrent levels. The Iron cross was also not worn, only a tri color ribbon for 2nd class a brest cross for 1st class and the Knights Cross above was worn around the neck, but only at parade uniforms or general uniforms. All other awards have been little stripes on the honour badge stripe. Other medals or orders have never been worn.
Also see Dr. Felton abot the Knights Cross documentary:

John Smith is example of opportunist- he is not a Nazi, even his best friend was a Jew. He simply adapted to ugly reality.
He and his wife had no choice. They did what they had to do.
Whats the name of the soundtrack?
Wait, did Brandon's speech team steal most of the lines from this show along with all the backdrops, or was it a licensing deal between Amazon and the Whitehouse?
'Reichsmarschall'? OK, Obviously Somebody didn't do Research on Rank Insignia.
