The premise of this series was a what if the Germans won the battle of Britain

The first programme was the tactics the Germans would use to subjugate Britain and how it would mean the defeat of Russia as well, with a German A bomb to take on America.

The second was how the resistance would operate for a few weeks before the Germans finally won.

It was quite interesting and frightening. My grandmother once said she would put her's and my mother's head in the oven and gas themselves if the Germans landed, so I would never have been around.

If Hitler had won the war, we would probably consider him a hero, and if we had ever heard of the final solution, would we have considered it was the best thing he ever did. :conf:

Is the definition of right, that which you can enforce with deadly force ? :shocked:

This alternative history is quite thought provoking.

it is worthy of note that people today consider that Sir Winston Churchill was a war criminal of the order of Slobbadan Milosovich or much worse. :mad:

I started watching this and had to turn it off. It was so realistic and very well done. The problem with modern technology is that TV programme makers can make a programme like this which, although clever, is actually frightening in the extreme!

Sorry, but it was too disturbing for me!

I watched quite a bit of this as well, and it made me realise how lucky we are today not to have that sort of threat hanging over us.

They were very clever programmes and showed just how well organised the Nazi regime was and how important it was to defeat them.

It was a very thought provoking programme.

When you think what happened to the countries that Hitler did invade - we are sooo lucky.
