- TriviaIn actual history, the British atom weapon program was one of several scientific projects transferred to the USA when they joined the war. Historians believe that it was British work rather than Albert Einstein's famous Letter from Long Island that caused the vast investment made in the Manhattan Project.
- GoofsAdolf Hitler wasn't interested in wonder weapons, because he thought Germany would win the war with conventional weapons before they were ready. Only when Germany had to go on the defensive, with Soviet counterattack and the United States' entry in the war on Britain's side, did Hitler start giving the wonder weapon projects like the A-bomb (1942) and the V2 (1944) the funding long denied them. It was such that a conventional "dirty bomb," far weaker then those dropped on Japan, was slated for 1946. Britain's defeat, and the United States' continued neutrality, negate the very factors that got the German A-bomb program its funding.
Featured review
Very good atmospheric "British" Style Crime thriller.
I liked man in the Man in the High Castle, although a lot of the time you are spoon fed the concepts and told what's going on more by pointless dialog and not by a simple matter of deduction. SS-GB is nothing like the Man in The High Castle, as far as I'm concerned, that's Sci-Fi and SS-GB is fiction. And I admit that I was put off thinking its UK version of the above and some pretty bad reviews. I should have ignored them, because after watching the first episode I had to binge on the next 2. SS-GB is dark and gritty, it's what I would expect of a UK based crime thriller. No fast car chases .. well there might be later, no 1000 bullet magazines or bar brawls. I could smell the "Big Smoke's", War Time atmosphere because the sets where so convincing. The pace was fine the tension build up was perfect, the dynamics between the characters great. The story and concept are an excellent piece of "What if", so I'm astounded by so much negativity about this series. What I have found is that all my friends over the age of 30 really enjoyed it and it's become a talking point during socialising. However below that age, it seems to need a lot of explanation, as in "Were the SS the German police?" etc., although Sam Riley's character made a good attempt of trying to explain the differences. And all this "Douglas Archer", mumbled a lot, total tosh! Stop watching it on your phone on the tube and appreciate the surround sound and glorious HD on a decent TV.
