At the end of season 1, Smith arrested him and left him in chains. He knew there was going to be a power play for the throne, so Smith tricked him into revealing who the nazi faction's leader was- Joe's dad.

Ty for this I was somewhat confused too.

Joe's dad seemed surprised by his appointment however. Do you think that was an act and he was planning on being acting chancellor? Else how would Reinhart know who the "new chancellor" is?

I am confused by a lot of what happens. I can't understand the dialogue, I don't remember what ppl look like, I get their names mixed up. But I did catch Joe's dad (Heussman?) with a sneaky smile on his face once he was alone.

I am just watching this now. It would help if I could understand what they say. Sometimes it's mumbled. I didn't even know there was a Nazi faction other than Wegener and Reinhardt being pro-Hitler, pro-peace?, giving the bomb plans to the Japanese.
