Nazi sympathizers make plans for after the German invasion of Britain, 23 July 2006
9/10
Author: tylerbede from United States

Fifth Columnist movements allowed Nazis to take over entire countries in a matter of days. Internal agents worked hard to undermine any resistance to might of the German War Machine, always under the guise of "patriotism".

This dry historical fact was true in central Europe, Britain and also America (with the America First movement). This story nicely shows the human cost of war and treason.

Looking back from the safety of our suburban life we forget how difficult World War was. Throughout this episode there is the danger of immanent German invasion of Britain. In the lead character's case this would have meant that he and all his co-workers would have been summarily shot.

This story shows how it was the bravery of common people and citizen soldiers and common folk willing to risk all in a personally costly fight against evil that, somehow, miraculously defeated the great evil of Nazism. This particular episode very nicely shows that personal cost against great evil.

There is an analogy going on in Britain today -- and America, the schools of Beslan, Iraq and the streets of the suburbs of Paris.
