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]

@@wysoft the BCR was some made up “black People are so strong and courageous bullshit from Some newly hired female diversity slut

[@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.

[@arminbreuer7968]

The guy playing Eichmann has no ear for languages at all. His German pronouciation is so atrocious it might be considered a weapon of mass destruction in some countries. Some of the other actors with German lines on that show did mediocre readings there too, but this guy's by far the worst offender. A 1990s kid's toy speech synthesizer would have done just about as well as him. Kenneth Tigar does a phenomenal job here; not only is he speaking German on a native-speaker level 98% of the time, he also know how to PERFORM in German. A terrific actor. So weird seeing the most extreme cases of the spectrum in one scene.

I am not german but general's german sounds a bit off is it true?

[@feanorn8409]

Its horrible. I am german, and i can tell you that this is 100% cringe for me.

[@feanorn8409]

kurwitz vor 9 Stunden The accent sounds like a french dude raised in the netherlands trying to speak german in a bavarian accent This guy nailed it.

He sounds like he's having a Stroke

[@blackterminal]

A great show. I miss it.

[@padawanmage71]

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

[@numberpirate]

closed captioning states Wehrmacht as Vermont. Yay, Vermont battalions kicking ass and taking names. Go Bernie!!!!

[@JustPippaNY]

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

[@dutch0770]

Is it bad if I wish they would do that bombing run now? Haha😂

[@eleventhknight9744]

I'm coming back to this only to realize this is the same backdrop as Dr. Strangelove

[@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

[@felar939]

I don't even speak German and I burst out laughing at his accent 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@flababofa]

He sounds like he's doing an impression of Paul F. Tompkins, doing his impression of Werner Herzog.

[@DannyKlimt]

He sounds like the Terminator having a stroke.

[@tannerbates8652]

I like how he's speaking German, gets interrupted in English, then is "oh, there are Americans here, right" and continues in English lmao

[@shelbynamels973]

Do yourself a favor and compare this scene to 'The Wannsee Conference', either the German version from 1984 or the English remake, with Kenneth Branagh as Heydrich. The cadence, tempo, bureaucratic vocabulary and the ebb and flow of competing interests in the room stands way above the flow of molasses that passes for portentous dialogue here.

[@PapagenoX09]

I'm going to look up the German version (I'm thinking I might have already seen it but not sure). The one with Branagh and Tucci was amazing.

[@ClausJesup]

I second that. No Nazi movie has given me more terrors than the Kenneth Branagh movie. Just some people in a room most of them lawyers, discussing the technical details of mass murder. Pure evil. All of the participants of that conference were ordered to destroy their copy of the protocol but one didn't and his copy was found after the war. Otherwise we wouldn't even know about that whole atrocity.

[@StrawberryLegacy]

There's now a new German film too which is also good but I prefer the old version precisely because it is less cinematic and feels more like a home movie which makes it all the more chilling

[@z1az285]

Eichmann at 0:33 is played by a Irish actor Timothy Murphy(Sons of Anarchy)

[@mattp.4329]

The military strategy they use is very similar to how I played RISK as a kid

[@uhuju1]

i started learning german 2 months ago and i can already speak better than he can

[@unbekannteruser2418]

A part of my German persona dies everytime I watch this.

When the teacher asks you what an owl says - 1:42

[@o3941]

1:15 You can almost hear the Reznov's ghost. 'The flag may be different, but the methods are the same."

[@Valmont334]

At least the show went out with a bang and cliffhanger with this episode. I'm told there is some sort of horrible fan fiction episode that some people cobbled together as a crappy epilogue, but we all know the real ending was Smith dividing up the world. *maintains poker face and cries on the inside*

[@RakaZet]

Not the writers' fault. Amazon did not allow more seasons.

[@samridhyadutt5284]

I hope the World liberation from The Nazi and Japanese Empire began in that world already

[@KazzoKiller3890]

@@RakaZet Did he say it was the writers fault?

[@lowellleber1722]

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.

[@VideoGameLogicFTW]

The guy at the beginning sounds like if Christoph Waltz was playing an American character who is trying to learn German

[@internetstrangerstrangerofweb]

They really brought Jurgen von Strangle back to manage the Warplanning

[@timgotz9376]

Well I'm from Germany and this accent is hilarious

[@nighlektolmn5390]
