It sounds like the bizzare script of a Hollywood B-movie. In a parallel universe the Nazis have won the war, Adolf Hitler moves to LA where he mingles with the stars of the silver screen while running his evil empire from a luxurious ranch deep in the LA hills.
But during the 1930s, American sympathisers were so confident this exact scenario was actually going happen they spent millions building a deluxe compound ready for their fuhrer's imminent arrival.

Wow. Used to go up there all the time. The word was it belonged to Will Rogers or Errol Flynn, depending on who you talked to.
Amazing.
There were the studio heads, of course, but in those days, Los Angeles was a very White, very Protestant city, with very high percentage of native-born Americans, mostly transplants from the Midwest.
So far as I can see, a radical anti-Semitic group called the Silver Shirts was building the bunker, and it was seized after Pearl Harbor, but the idea that it was intended to be the residence of Hitler from which he'd rule America and the world is the writer's own invention.
Why would you assume people on these threads do not know about the St. Louis?
Because it should be repeated every day, considering what’s going on with the antisemitism that’s flowing from Jews. Yet, I don’t see anything. Zilch. Nada.
Maybe it’s just me not looking hard enough.

"...that they could see the lights of Miami, some passengers on the St. Louis cabled President Franklin D. Roosevelt asking for refuge. Roosevelt never responded. The State Department and the White House had decided not to take extraordinary measures to permit the refugees to enter the United States. A State Department telegram sent to a passenger stated that the passengers must "await their turns on the waiting list and qualify for and obtain immigration visas before they may be admissible into the United States."....." Three months before the St. Louis sailed, Congressional leaders in both U.S. houses allowed to die in committee a bill sponsored by Senator Robert Wagner (D-N.Y.) and Representative Edith Rogers (R-Mass.). This bill would have admitted 20,000 Jewish children from Germany above the existing quota."
You're right, the recent rise of antisemitism is very disturbing and we need to keep reminding people of where that kind of thinking leads.
