I like the turtle subs, I hope that soon we'll have a meetup of all the various different shaped subs we've seen and they can come together and make u-boat voltron

I don't think this Herr Swastika guy is nazi enough. Can we make him a little more nazi?

"You lot disguise yourselves as duckhunters so that no one notices the secret Nazi base! I'll disguise myself with this black robe emblazoned with a massive swastika."

So ridiculously bad, it's good? Or so bad and ridiculous that it's awful? You decide!!

Everything about this story from "Herr Swastika" to Betty duck hunting to the turtle subs was hysterical. Five stars. Maybe not for the intended effect but five stars nonetheless

Sheer ridiculous fun. Nazi turtle subs? A villain named Herr Swastika? A duck-hunting Betty Dean? A Great Lakes tidal wave? I may be in the minority, but I loved every over-the-top moment of this...

You know what? That guy Herr Swastika, wearing the hooded robe with the huge swastika on his back, I reckon he might be a Nazi.

They really couldn't come up with a better excuse for Betty to be hanging around there than Duck Hunting? They are embarrassing themselves at this point

Herr Swastika.

Herr Swastika!

Ridiculous. And that's without even going into the nonsense contrivance of Betty just happening to be there on a duck hunt.

Excuses to use Betty is getting rather flimsy

It would have made more sense to say she was there investigating the sinking subs for the paper instead of the vacationing excuse.
