That looks like a horrible plan. Would never have worked. They would have had to get a foothold in Canadia first not just go straight across Alaska into Seattle.
Nazis weren’t known for excellent naval strategy or capability. U boats was about all they had as a major threat.
They were fantastic at ground warfare with troops, tanks, artillery, ok in the air, and pretty shitty at sea.

Then you include the populace being armed to the teeth.
It would take gun confiscation and a massive depletion of our navy for it to be even a possibility today.
As long as we have the 2nd amendment and our current naval capabilities and technology it would be suicide to try. They’d never even make it across the ocean. And soon with the space force we will spot their ships and blow them out of the water from space

Whose side the USA would enter the war for was still pretty ambiguous up until the mid-late 1930s.
was joining the Germans an option?
I though most people were anti-war or anti-nazi. Was there a decent movement to join the Nazi in fighting the war?
Even though the holocaust wouldn't have been widely known, everyone knew Hitler was a fascist dictator, same with Mussolini

logic of invading New Orleans and control the mouth of the Mississippi
They’d never get past the f250s and Jon boats with .50 cals mounted on them via the Cajun Navy

Their perception of space was distorted by the size of European countries. When Nazi sailors were taken prisoner and sent by rail from the east coast to Ruston, La. they planned their escape while riding in the rail cars. They were estimating mileage. When they finally reached La. the commander said 'America is much larger than we thought. There will be no escape attempt. We cannot reach the Atlantic.'
It was in one of the diaries of the inmates housed at La. Tech.

i wouldve invaded via Canada and Mexico. I damn sure wouldnt have tried to take on LA and the east coast head on.
But i know our invasion preparedness was lacking to some degree.
I think you wouldve seen and immediate increase in volunteers though

20k+ attended a pro-Nazi rally at Madison square garden in 1939. Organized by the German-American Bund

Yea I knew about the American Bund but even with a 20K rally they seemed pretty fringe
Reading up on them is pretty interesting as some point the Nazi Government disavowed them. They also calims George Washington was the first Fascist.

Invading at the Chesapeake Bay Area makes the most sense out of all of them. Land and go straight for DC and head north on i95

The fifth column would’ve had a hell of a time dealing with southern coastal states all armed to the teeth.

here is how you invade America:

The Rules for Radicals
"Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have."
"Never go outside the expertise of your people."
"Whenever possible go outside the expertise of the enemy."
"Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."
"Ridicule is man's most potent weapon."
"A good tactic is one your people enjoy."
"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag."
"Keep the pressure on."
"The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself."
"The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition."
"If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counterside."
"The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative."
"Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it."

A land invasion of the United States moving from the coasts inward is nearly impossible. The size, terrain and heavily armed populace alone makes it incredibly difficult without factoring in the strength of the armed forces.
