Trivia:
The building that is the headquarters of the SS is in the building that at the moment is the residence of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Across the street is a building that during World War 2 was the residence of the Gestapo for the entire Protectorate of Bohemia.

Goofs:
Plot holes: In the frame the Gestapo builds for their murders against the Wannsee conference attendees it is mentioned that one of them was shipping art to Switzerland to hide it there. Clearly on the map in the intro of the movie Switzerland is part of Germania. Therefore hiding something there doesn't make a lot of sense.

[Ordering coffee in SS Headquarters as a male and female prisoner are led away] Another busy day in the Sexual Crimes Unit. Who are the lovebirds?
Sex Crimes Cop: Pure Aryan woman and a Polock. Caught right in the act. Coffee, please. Resettlement day for her, ten years hard labor for him. I just don't understand these people.
SS-Untersturmführer Max Jäger: Every time somebody makes love, somebody else writes a report.
Sex Crimes Cop: Yeah, that's right.

An excellent speculative drama backed up with actual WWII footage to add realism. I believe that if history had turned out differently, it may very well have happened just as this movie portrayed it. The premise of the Normandy invasion being repelled causing America to pull out of Europe and revert to isolationism, as well as America turning its wrath to and defeating Japan to avenge Pearl Harbor are completely believable and not the least bit hokey. It has an interesting and engaging murder plot, as well as a good amount of suspense as the various players try to reveal the truth about Nazi war crimes and evade capture by the Gestapo. Nazi callousness, like March's colleague about the "pure-blooded Aryan and a Pollock caught in the act", the Gestapo chief's nonchalance toward the need of evidence, and the retired actress' anti-Semitic take on America's "Jewish Problem", are well played out without overused, propaganda-style vitriol. Hauer's performance as March is impeccable. Miranda Richardson is very good as well. Actually, good performances were rendered by all cast members. This movie is very entertaining and sparks the imagination with one of the ultimate "what ifs?". I highly recommend it.
