Spoilers for both parts of Storm Front: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Enterprise is stuck in an alternate timeline, in which the Nazis have conquered the Eastern United States with the aid of aliens with bumpy purplish, bluish, or brownish heads. In return, the Nazis are helping the aliens build a time conduit to return to the 29th century. Great moments: The news reel of Hitler receiving a hero's welcome in New York. Archer shoving Silik against a wall after he is discovered masquerading as Trip. Vosk the alien leader firing a plasma cannon at Enterprise after Archer refuses to give him Silik. Vosk threatening to erase a Nazi general from history. Silik the Suliban squeezing through a slot beside a door. The battle between the American insurgents and the Nazis at the conduit building. Trip thinking that Captain Archer is Silik in disguise. Archer shows Trip the recently deceased Silik (who was killed by a German soldier while helping Archer take out the conduit). An insurgent leader saying that he's having too much fun fighting the Germans at the conduit building, so he doesn't want to withdraw. German fighter planes firing photonic torpedoes at Enterprise as it flies through New York, maneuvering around the skyscrapers. Since Enterprise's targeting scanners aren't working, it has a hard time hitting the more maneuverable planes. Only one plane got hit. The time conduit. Enterprise taking out the conduit. Archer and Daniels watching the timeline repair itself. Many historical scenes are shown, including Margaret Thatcher, Ayatollah Khomani, and the World Trade Center burning (why couldn't Daniels undo that attack?). Why no images of the Eugenics Wars of the 1990s? In part 1, the Nazis said that the Russians were trying to retake Moscow. In part 2, we learn that the timeline went off track when someone assassinated Lenin in 1916. As a result, the Communists did not take over Russia and industrialize it, so Hitler didn't consider Russia to be a threat. Therefore he concentrated all his resources on the West. Why then would German troops be in control of Russia at least as far as Moscow? At one point, Vosk returns Trip and another crew man to Archer, but Trip turns out to be Silik in disguise. Why did Silik try to escape when Archer mentioned the energy shields around the time conduit building, and not sooner or later? After the time conduit is destroyed, Daniels tells Archer that all the damage Vosk and his people caused "never happened" Does this mean that Silik's death has been unhappened?

Other than the fact we're talking about a fictional alternate timeline, communism was not the only factor that enabled Hitler to control the Nazi party and eventually the German state.

"Evil Alien Nazis" was perhaps the silliest idea in "Enterprise", so looking for intelligent background of that sort is probably pointless; but then again, what the hell. Even if Russia were not industrialised, the agrarian vastnesses of the Ukraine and surrounding areas would have made a useful breadbasket to supply troops in a protracted war. And it's questionable how far 'fear of Communism' propelled Hitler to power (though it was clearly a contributory factor). The economic collapse of Germany during the Weimar period encouraged political extremism.

OK. I'll give you that. "One of the silliest ideas" then.

In which episode is that fact revealed?
