What if Hitler won WWII in the 1980s
Alright, buckle up, because this story is about to take you on a wild ride into a seriously messed up alternate history. Imagine a world where the Nazis won WWII, and everything's gone to hell in a handbasket. It's like, full-on fascist domination – the Reich's got its tentacles wrapped around Europe and beyond, and it ain't pretty.

I do love a spot of movie trivia, excellent way to sweeten the pot!
Cool! I never got around to participating in that but it sure sounded like fun!!
Ooooo, I never knew Dorothy's last name! Thank you for that! Loved your Haiku-review!
Great job, and no I didn't know Dorothy's last name.
Brilliant work here!
Well done 👏🏼 One of my favorites
There is no place like home, just follow the yellow brick road. Lovely. I have to find a book myself,
This haiku is brilliant. I loved the film, and was shocked and how different the book was.
I love the poems from this challenge! And you nailed it here. Made me chuckle too. Love it, Dana 💕🙂
I cannot stand this movie! I have tried watching it so many times, and I was never able to finish it. With that said, I really like your haiku. It sums up the story really well!
Another favorite movie. I have never read the book, but always looked forward to seeing the movie. You captured it's essence.♥️
Aw, I love this 🤗❤️ It's so perfect!
Dana, loved this!!! I am a big Wizard of Oz fan.
I love this. Sorry but I laughed at how simple but how perfect it is.
Love it 🥰
This was so good, Dana!! You packed it all in and it FELT like a tornado...how cool!! My daughter loved watching the movie version if this when she was younger :)
These classic illustrations are my favorites. You packed a LOT into these three lines! Great job!
Baum wrote 14 Oz books. Great review ! 🥰
Wonderful work! The trivia question and song were a nice touch as well!😊 I hope that this makes TOP STORY! So good!
“Fraud wizard” lol love it !
Awesome review! I loved the "click heels" at the end. Nice trivia question, I would have never guessed that her last name was Gale.
