Actually...this reminds me the point of the book "Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell. The whole book describes situations where a small change started a snowball effect and created a huge change. In fact many of the stories are about political situations with a conquering power and resistance where a small group of people where able to make such a difference where they eventually beat the big powerful controlling government.
One of the stories was about how the IRA was able to fight back against the British for so long even though the British army was so powerful. Another was in France when it was controlled I think by the Nazi's (don't remember exactly but sounds right). How a small group of locals where able to oppose the controlling power.
This is the description from Amazon:

> The tipping point is that magic moment when an idea, trend, or social behavior crosses a threshold, tips, and spreads like wildfire. Just as a single sick person can start an epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted push cause a fashion trend, the popularity of a new product, or a drop in the crime rate. This widely acclaimed bestseller, in which Malcolm Gladwell explores and brilliantly illuminates the tipping point phenomenon, is already changing the way people throughout the world think about selling products and disseminating ideas.
On the flip side the book explains why so many dictatorships are so concerned about anti-government speech and want to control all the media.
Anyway I guess the point is...you just have to get enough of a momentum behind an idea so that it starts spreading and can topple entire regimes.
So I think that part is actually very realistic. Hitler understands that all of his subjects have to think that they are absolutely controlled and that there is no alternate way except death.
These films show an alternate way.
To be fair, I think the reason posts like this just drive people mad is because it obviously separates those who are familiar with actual fascism and the Nazis with those who are riding the latest political wave. It's a 75 year old dead foreign religion, and it took millions of lives to end it.
Read Mein Kampf, it's a horrible book that doesn't make any sense. It's basically written for people who lived in a 50 mile radius of Austria in the 1930's and you can't even follow it in a modern context. This was the book?!?!? Are you kidding me?!?!
Even better, read this book.

Your only take away will be WTF, Hitler was a mad moron and if the Germans had anyone else in power in the 1930's-1940's, we'd all be fucked.
I have no idea why we keep going back to this well, but it was an error in human history.

In the book, Tagomi does actually travel to a world (seemingly our world) where the Nazis and Japanese lost the war. Also, Philip K Dick started but abandoned a sequel which would have included the Nazis building a portal to our world, the two chapters he did write are reprinted in the book <em>The Shifting Realities of Philip k. Dick</em>.
