comment
Artifact Title: Unlike its predecessor, neither the setting, the tone, or the plot of the show are related to penny dreadfuls. If anything, it's much closer to pulp...which is rather appropriate, as "pulp magazines" replaced penny dreadfuls and dime novels in the early 20th century as the most popular form of cheap literature.

Artistic License – History: Peter is portrayed as head of the German-American Bund in LA, though opposed to key Nazi doctrines. The organization was pro-Nazi from the beginning, headed by Nazis and begun under their order. Here, it's portrayed more as a kind of German-American fraternal organization, with Nazi sympathizer members but no full commitment to Nazism.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

All Germans Are Nazis: Most of the German-American or German characters are Nazis/Nazi supporters. Peter's the only (initial) exception; though he heads the LA chapter of the pro-Nazi German-American Bund, he seems to be a pacifist and at least somewhat opposes anti-Semitism. However, by the end of the first season he seems to have embraced Nazism under Elsa's corrupting influence, if reluctantly.
