Yeah i am pretty stubborn :P I enjoy debating and do believe what I'm saying is true, so, yeah :P Also, I don't think they ever dropped the Nazi ideology, but just the name. Their whole motive of controlling everything and limiting freedom and imposing order is very Nazi. I wonder why they'd use Nazi imagery (Reichsadler) if they really didn't care about Germany, and just wanted to rule the world as a whole? That's a very near-and-dear symbol to the German people. Interpreting the way you have about HYDRA wanting to replace the Reich with themselves is speculation (which we're both using, no worries, I'm aware :P I'm just as guilty) and is worded in such a way that makes it vaguely reminiscent of what I'm trying to say. And, with regards to what Nazi would want to nuke Berlin? I definitely think Claus von Stauffenberg qualifies. He's just not as batsh*t insane as Schmidt (the buggy serum, and all). He tried to kill Hitler and had most of his loyal men like Goebbels rounded up in the (ironically named; considering our fandom) Operation Valkyrie. You may think he was an awesome dude who wanted to stop Nazism... But it was noted that he believed in the Nazi cause vehemently. He just thought Hitler and his ilk would bring the Nazi state to ruin, not victory. His actions are simply less laced with delusions of grandeur like Schmidt's were. And I don't think comics from 616 qualify here, man :/ With regards to Whitehall; I don't think the lack of the Reichsadler or Parteiadler are that significant. When HYDRA was using the Reichsadler as a symbol, they didn't use it everywhere. Not seeing it in one scene in the modern day I don't personally find to be super conclusive.
