When Hitler, shortly before the end, declared that "we lost the war; but we shall win the peace" - this is exactly the kind of White House he was thinking of.

The Nazis devoted a lot of time to the idea of infiltrating some future U.S. administration - and as the Bushes could tell you, they never completely gave up on the idea.
