I've seen Nothing But Trouble a bizarre amount of times. My brother loved that movie for some reason and it was often on during our summer breaks…

That was it for me and that movie. Not only that, but that after centuries of sitting there without any maintenance somehow the planes were fueled and functional.

There's a big difference in how planes are developed now too. Since the 70's, plane builders now go to the airlines and ask what they'd like in a plane, well before designing it. Before they would design and build it, then try to sell it.

The tremor from an explosion is recorded differently than an earthquake. Earthquakes have a build up in waves while explosions create a sudden jolt. The Nazis would know about this from their own detonations. The location of this unusual activity can then be triangulated from multiple recordings and then…

Also, it is impossible to not know about H-bomb detonations. They ring the planet like a bell - seismographs everywhere can detect them. That's how physicists stateside learned the first one built worked. And then there's the radioactive material sent to the stratosphere that will blow wherever the winds go.

Haven't watched the rest of the season but the book mentions Baldur von Schirach in charge of the Atlantropa project that came up in an earlier episode. Along with Speer, Baldur denounced Hitler later on.

I think the writers did this to show the cracks appearing in the Soviet system. The mention of breadlines show that average people have trouble with basic goods, and even their elite field agents can't get basic dentistry, which should be a given, given their line of work.
