If Q2 is, in fact, a Holocaust allegory, then who do the blobs from outer space represent, allegorically? Would Kneale's wife approve of depicting the Nazis as alien life forms who can't breathe oxygen, or as mindless zombies? If that were the case, even allegorically, then German history of the 1930s and '40s offers nothing for us to reflect upon or learn from.



On the contrary, I think the blobs are a perfect allegory as to represent the part of the German public that bought into the Nazi philosophy.
Mindless clumps of nameless, faceless cells, joined together to follow one voice, one single instinct...

To storm over the land like a malignant cancer, devastate and grow into a master organism.
Now if that ain't obvious subtext...Right Ted ?
Even the domes represent the bigger encapsultated German psychology.
Did you not ever hear someone call a bald man, chrome dome ?
