  • It's about time I got back in the saddle with these videos again! If you've been watching the Altoona Adventure videos I mentioned this incident in Day 1. Upon finding out about this while making that video I thought "huh that'd make for an interesting video" months later I finally tell this forgotten tale on Germany's attempt to sabotage America's mainland.

But still, that operation was even funnier, considering the fact that the two agents who turned themselves in, were able to just nope outta the Nazi Party.
    Hitler: "I WANT YOU TO BLOW UP AMERICA!!!"
    Agents: "Okay."
    (When they arrive in America)
    Agent 1: "Well, being a Nazi isn't fun. Wanna defect?"

    One minor correction. Germany didn't declare war on America until a few days after America declared war on Germany.
