Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out the entire World War II was just a cover for the secret conflict between the two branches of HYDRA, the American branch, whose leaders wanted to bring It back to Earth, and the European branch, led by Schmidt, who wanted the world for himself.

What I don't understand is why would Dottie attack the bank where HYDRA's money is deposited. Maybe she actually wanted to be captured by the SSR, knowing the HYDRA infiltrators within the US Government would take custody of her and take her to Fennhoff whom she wants to liberate. But she doesn't understand that Fennhoff has changed sides and now works for HYDRA.
