Where do we start? So many flaws and wrong premisses that it is hard to watch. Usually not an issue but when you link it to singular circumstances it detracts and irritates. Maybe the book as flawed.
Hamburg is flat, coming from the UK, why do you take a train through snow mountains, when there are none? OJ for breakfast when there is no coal to heat? No tea in the #1 trading port for coffee and tea, never heard of Ostfriesenmischung? His deceased wife the sole daughter of a shipping family with no other siblings that would hunker down with them? Normally, these families would have 3+ sons to run the business in London, NY and South America, not just one daughter. Winter of 45 was about reparations to England, reconstruction and rebuild started with the US Marshall plan in 49, not earlier. 88 tattoo is a white supremacist/neonazi sign that emerged later, not HJ. Was there no historian to check the script?
