Stupid driver or attempted murder?
Stumble ThisIt sounds incredible but Adolf Hitler's megalomania knew no limits: from the very outbreak of war, his strategists were forging plans to attack the U.S.A. The most daring of these plans involved squadrons of German fighter planes crashing into Manhattan's skyscrapers as living bombs. A project which would be realized in all its destructive horror more than 50 years later by the 9/11 terrorists. Hitler was convinced that this would have a devastating psychological impact on the American superpower and with this plan, the National Socialist regime hoped to turn the tide of the war, which ahd been fraught with defeats and setbacks for them since the decisive year of 1943. Hitler understood the enormous symbolic power of Manhattan's skyscrapers. He considered New York as the "centre of the capitalist Jewish world conspiracy" and wanted to destroy it. Eye witnesses, archive material and original construction plans show how the destructive fantasy, and its monstrous product the "America Bomber", turned into a collective indiscriminate desire for destruction. Finally, the film shows how the United States learned about Hitler's secret plans and reacted.

Inflation in Germany was one of the prime factors of the fall of the national socialism party. Hitler had many pipe dreams, spoke a lot empty phrases and often held gatherings that were tailored to be energized by packing small venues. I often wonder why he didn't attack other English countries such as Britain?
Um, dude, you wanna, I dunno, study history a bit?
If not for British kickass fighting in the air, a full sea/land invasion would've occured.

"Had it been successful, the planned amphibious and airborne landings in Britain of Operation Sealion would have followed. The Battle of Britain was the first major campaign to be fought entirely by air forces. It was the largest and most sustained bombing campaign attempted up until that date. The failure of Nazi Germany to destroy Britain's air defence or to break British morale is considered its first major defeat.[7]
Neither Hitler nor the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht (OKW) believed it possible to carry out a successful amphibious assault on the British Isles until the RAF had been neutralised. Secondary objectives were to destroy aircraft production and ground infrastructure, to attack areas of political significance, and to terrorise the British people into seeking an armistice or surrender. Some historians, such as Derek Robinson, have argued an invasion could not have succeeded; the massive superiority of the Royal Navy over the Kriegsmarine would have made Sealion a disaster and the Luftwaffe would have been unable to prevent decisive intervention by British cruisers and destroyers, even with air superiority"
