At the far edge of dreamland the Germans have an attache in Shanghai
in 1937 when the Japanese invade in their landing craft with bow
doors. By some miracle this attache's report gets to Hitler who sees
these wonder craft as the answer to an invasion of England. He has
10,000 built in Norway or Poland and when the time comes for See Lowe
they have all been burned during the respective invasions of Norway
and Poland.

Wait.... there's more! Owing to a short but heated argument between
Goering and his physician over the diameter of needles ("get the
expensive thin ones you Dummkopf!"), the doctor's company nepotistically
assigned by the fascist bureaucracy to make special hinges for the doors
of these fantastic landing craft is punished and forced to go into the
needle business for 6 months. Hence of 10000 landing craft only a few
hundred have doors attached, the rest have the doors welded or rivetted
shut and the Stormtroopers told to put more oompf into their Drang when
they try to get out.
