I remember a book or movie that did this many moons ago. Can’t remember the name. Hitler won the war.
Are we sure the Allies did win WWII? I don’t think the U.S. did.
We kind of have a world where we lost the cold war. The left is in charge everywhere. It’s kind like a cross between Animal Farm and Night of the Living Dead.
First episode is online and it’s great.
Based on the book by Phillip K. Dick entitled THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE.
Saw the pilot. Looks like an excellent show. Can’t wait till it’s released!
Philip L Dick & Ridley Scott - good match.
Sounds like something from Harry Turtledove.
While we were busy fighting tyranny overseas, it infiltrated America from the inside and took control of our government with promises of nothing but lots of free stuff. Give us your freedom and we’ll shower you with freebies and handouts.
Is a Marxist Muslim Tyrant president and the opposition party are quislings?
There was a good series called “Island At War” about the German occupation of The Channel Islands, which were the only British-held territories to be occupied by the Germans during the war.
The comments on youtube are just stupid, I cannot tell if they are just trolls are if they are being serious, if they are then god help us.
I don’t know if it was the same but there was a Brit mini-series about 20 years ago that had the same scenario of the Germans having won WW2 and it was now the 1960s - Hitler was an old man who kept out of the limelight, the regime had hidden the Holocaust by destroying the camps and records. The Germans installed the Duke of Windsor on the British throne ad the US President was Joseph P Kennedy, a Nazi sympathizer. A cop in Berlin starts investigating claims of past genocide by the regime, which is in trouble to begin with due to domestic unrest. He finds evidence of their dirty deeds which leads to his attempts to expose the mass murders.

I think I’ll give this movie a shot. Heck why not?
I already saw the first episode.
It’s a gimmick for amazon prime.
I’ll wait till it is out on regular dvd.
Cool! I didn’t realize that Ridley Scott was going to do this!
Amazon Prime had the pilot for this on last year, and I thought it was quite interesting, but either the pilot didn’t have RS associated with it, or they didn’t publicize it.

Is there a single Philip K. Dick novel or short story that has not been turned into a movie or TV script at this point? I liked PKD as an author, but come on Hollywood - there were and are other excellent SF authors.
Is this done after the novel, “Fatherland”?
