The Military channel is running an interesting series entitled 'Secrets of World War II' and tonight's segment was subtitled 'When Hitler Invaded America' which dealt with a platoon of Nazi spies that infiltrated the U.S. with prospects of destroying major links in the production of our military hardware (the New York target happened to be the Hell Gate Bridge - part of an important rail corridor for the transport of troops and weaponry).
Fortunately, no plans ever came to fruition because one saboteur turned state's evidence against the others and all were either sentenced to long term incarcerations or execution.
Anyway, the film clips both in living color and black and white of New York City 1940 and especially along Fifth Avenue were awash in Fifth Avenue Coach DD's and taxis in their true bright hues.
One or two shots of Washington DC came up with some interesting White 798's of DC Transit as well.
I give the series a 'Thumbs Up' and highly recommend catching it as a learning experience in more ways than one!
