According to US Army archives, Hitler did indeed have plans to invade the US. The plan was to drop paratroopers into the Canadian Rockies, establish bases and attack from the north. I'd guess this was contingent on conquering Russia, so the Nazi forces could jump off from Siberia. The information, I believe, came from a Swiss diplomat who passed it on to the Allies.
I believe the documents are in the Army Winter Warfare school.
I never saw the documents but read a synopsis from the Army some years ago. If someone could verify this, I'm sure it would make interesting reading.

French Canada would've been a better drop-point...

Hyping the threat of an enemy is what government due to justify mothers giving up their sons to serve the interests of the state.

>Hitler did indeed have plans to invade the USWe have contingency plans to fight wars against everybody in every conceivable circumstance. Some are pretty far flung. How could Hitler drop paratroopers in the Canadian Rockies when he didn't have one plane that could fly across the Atlantic? Let alone across the continent to boot.

A long time ago Life Magazine printed a map that showed how the Nazis and Japanese had agreed to carve up the U.S. after the war.
