Wasn't Teller Hungarian while Strangelove was a ex nazi (and not that much ex)

However, the Soviets didn't go live with their Doomsday Device until 20 years after the film came out - which sort of makes you wonder if they were inspired by it.

Lincsong said:Well it was made when people would laugh at life's idiosyncracies. Not, to get political, but look at the laughable characters in the movie and some of the '80s born people on the internet. I'm surprised no one has claimed this movie glorifies Nazi's.
