It’s because Americans can’t stand not being at the center of the spotlight, so media has to involve the US in some way.

The funniest shit ever was that japans plan for the war with the US was to capture Hawaii then ransom it for various US holdings in the South Pacific

Really? I haven’t heard that one. I didn’t think they had any plan to take Hawaii, even if they had won at Midway. Their objective was to destroy the American fleet and then make peace from a position of strength.

At any rate, Oahu was swarming with American troops and there was no way the Japanese could have taken it. They would have had to dedicate every cargo ship in their fleet to carry supplies and men, and those were needed to take oil from the southern resource area to the homeland. You know, the whole reason they started the war in the first place.

Yeah but “Nazis conquer America” is distressingly common theme. I’m all for counterfactuals but at least make them counterfactual.

The US was basically the role model to the Nazis. Delousing others, using Zyklon B, manifest destiny/lebensraum, genetic superiority BS.

Delousing

What’s wrong with getting rid of head lice, or is there a different meaning I’m not familiar with?

By others I mean “others”

Sometimes they used Zyklon B, sometimes kerosene. One time it caught fire.

Zyklon B was originally a delousing agent, IIRC. Also when speaking about the nazis the word takes on some unsavoury race hygiene connotations

You’re forgetting about the giant laser-mechs that the Nazis had.
