I'm currently watching "the nazis. A warning from history"

hope a few are watching this series as well
 
Is this just a UK version of The Man in the High Castle?

The book is a classic British spy/crime novel, with a posh University Educated Inspector (Archer), and a working class police Sgt hunting for a murderer through London

The twist is that Britain has lost the war and is under Nazi occupation, so Archer and his officers have to negotiate rivalries between the Brits, the Germans, the Wermacht and the Gestapo.

I don't know what the TV version will be the novel is a classic. Easily as good as Funeral in Berlin
 
I've just finished the man in the high castle, which had me hooked. I can't see this being as good, but I do think it's unfair to compare stuff.
 
Yeh, but there are a lot of people out there who can't be arsed to look it up. I'm in full on "can't be arsed" right now. It was a struggle just there to put a full stop @ (omg, it's getting worse) the end of that sentence.
:lol::lol:
 
I feel a little uncomfortable knowing that the 'thriller' entertainment aspect will (of course) neglect any exploration of the fact that millions of British people would probably have been slaughtered by the Nazis if the apparent storyline of the programme had been true. It was, after all, going on elsewhere in Europe unbeknown to most of our parents/grandparents.

Maybe I'm just a tad over sensitive and scaredy knowing that Trump is holding rallies in the US barely a month after taking office denouncing all major news agencies who dare to criticise as liars and propagandists; which is exactly what the nazis would have done to anyone exposing their activities in SSGB. just before they shot them.

Yep - I know that Donald Trump isn't a Nazi. At least HE's convinced he's not.

And I should lighten up

But I worry.

Interesting times

Trump is pig ignorant, think skinned and lacking in judgement, knowledge and experience but I don't think you should worry to much about him.
