The character of Smith was just perfect. Up until the very last episode, I was sure he would switch allegiances and try to save what was left in America. But nope, his character always operated out of self-interest, and even when he took down the Nazi leadership it was just so he could secure it for himself. Great show.

[@Bitchslapper316]

I was certain he was going to flip but it never happened.

[@samridhyadutt5284]

Same. I so hoped for Smith to now atleast try to reestablish the United States, but no. I can only hope now that Withcroft, with his symbolic discarding of the Hakenkreuz, now does that role of re-establishing the USA, and eventually remove all symbols of Nazism.

[@wysoft]

If you want my take, he was probably meant to, but the writing of the last season was... modified so to speak. The entire series seemed to be leading up to Smith's redemption arc, there were too many hints at it for it to not be the ultimate goal. Instead we get the BCR coming out of nowhere, who were never a part of the story at all until the last season, then suddenly becoming the main group driving the concern of both the Japanese and the Germans, instead of the simmering anti-Reich sentiment that was supposedly brewing in the former American military which this scene strongly hints at. The Jahr Null reforms were shown to be a bridge too far for many of Smith's American command, and it was at this point that what was left of the American military had come to the conclusion that it was time to act now or never, with the Reich going beyond simply wanting to subjugate America as a conquered nation, but now desiring to completely wipe out all records and symbols of American history and culture which had been allowed to remain up until this point. That was the whole point of showing Smith's shocked and saddened reaction to the Statue of Liberty being destroyed. It was supposed to be the turning point of Smith's character and the point in the story at which it became clear to him what needed to be done. It should have been Smith that ordered the attack on San Francisco to be called off, and it should have been Smith who ordered the American Reich military to reinstate the American colors and turn against the Germans. Then Smith could have gone out with a bang, eating his own bullet out of guilt for his crimes, just like he did in the finale, having restored independence to America and completing his arc. It would have been an ending deserving of the character.

[@Inbraneinthememsane]

[@RobertMc0811]

​@wysoft is 100% correct. If they had done another season like originally planned Smith would have had his redemption arc. But they had to cram so much into the last season it was a waste. The show would have been better off ending the series when he kills Himmler. Then adding some captions about how Smith turned things around.

Oh thank gods. I’m not the only one who thought that Eichmann’s accent was atrocious.

[@Austrian_Butcher]

I didnt even know he was supposed to be eichmann until he was mentioned. He looks absolutely nothing like Eichmann did in the 60s.

[@MrBiggles53]

You all set a tempest in a tea cup over these accents. I memberberry when Nazis in good Britsh films all spoke with clear English accents and all peasants in Transylvania spoke with cockney accents. As Sgt Hulka said, “Lighten up, Francis.”

[@joshwaudby6367]

I heard kids in my German lessons at secondary school with more convincing accents 😂 I genuinely thought he was an American and they were gonna laugh at him and switch to English but then the accent just kept going

“What kind of accent is that?” - From a movie I can’t remember off the top of my head.

How were they going to get Panzer divisions through the Rocky Mountains?

[@patrickkenyon2326]

The same way they pushed armor through the Ardennes. Badly, and with heavy casualties.

Why does this man speak English with a thick Austrian accent and German with a thick English accent?

[@DaMeatGrinda]

Cause it sounds hilarious. Stereotyping zee chairmans is very gratifying.

@@DaMeatGrinda This show is supposed to be a drama, not a comedy. There's nothing dramatic or gripping about poorly made television.

Fact is that "Blitzkrieg" is a word created by the Time Magazine - it was never used in German Military and Hitler himself called it "nonsense" and hated the word. But you cannot wipe it out from the movies anymore...
