The title of the newspaper headline which is read aloud by Captain Jean-Luc Picard is "Hitler on the Move". The largest offensive action taken by Chancellor Hitler this year was the invasion of the USSR by his army.
  • In an alternate timeline where Edith Keeler had founded a pacifist movement in the late 1930s, America did not enter the war in 1941 either as a result of Japan not attacking or that the peace movement convinced the American government to overlook the attack. As a result, America was delayed in entering World War II which allowed Nazi Germany time to develop nuclear weapons and achieve victory in the conflict.
