Nazi Plan to Bomb NYC | History Hyenas
Did you know that Hitler had a master plan to try and destroy NYC? He was all set on trying to bomb the Big Apple. Kid must have been real jealous of how lit, money-making Manhattan is. Fortunately, he ran into some problems and the plan never took off (Literally), because, as you know, Allah put the Red, White, and Blue between the Atlantic and Pacific Ocshhh to protect His chosen children. Lets be honest, the kid would have never tried to bomb the boroughs if he had ever strolled the city just once with the boys and gotten some smoothies, because it is just too cute of a city and that would have been to cute of a time!
