Roosevelt is mentioned by Childan when he shows the two Zippo lighters to Frink, one of which was on Roosevelt during the assassination.
As far as I remember this scene is taken straight from the book as are most of the better scenes in the series. Everything with Childan in particular is great since he's almost untouched from his portrayal in the book. Great choice of an actor there.

Fun fact, in the book the man in the high castle is Hitler. And you never get to see him either (or even be on the same continent as him).
That's an interesting interpretation (or you don't know what you are talking about).

Joe & Jules didn't even grab his gun after knocking him out, they just knocked him out and then hauled rear end. Grabbing the gun isn't even "tactical realism," sheer fear for your life would result in just about anyone having the presence of mind to get the weapon away from him.
You'd be surprised how "stupidly" people from countries where there are strict gun laws, to the point of civilians basically never ever seeing a gun in real life, can behave with regards to guns and leaving them near a knocked out thug.

Africa. For the ghosts of dead tribes. Wiped out to make a land of -- what? Who knew? Maybe even the master architects of Berlin did not know. Bunch of automatons, building and toiling away. Building? Grinding down. Ogres out of a palaeontology exhibit, as their task of making a cup from an enemy's skull, the whole family industriously scooping out the contents -- the raw brains -- first, to eat. Then useful utensils of men's leg bones. Thrifty, to think not only of eating the people you did not like, but eating them out of their own skull. The first technicians! Prehistoric man in a sterile white lab coat in some Berlin university lab, experimenting with the uses to which other people's skull, skin, ears, fat could be put. Ja, Herr Doktor. A new use for the big toe; see, one can adapt the joint for a quick-acting cigarette lighter mechanism. Now, if only Herr Krupp can produce it in quantity ...

They were the bad guys in Childon's mind, becauae they didn't respond to his weeabooness. Maybe this got lost on tv. There's a lot of Childon's inner monologues in the book.

Dredging this from the last page because I couldn't agree more.

More to the point, for an intriguing and solitary look at sympathetic nazis, devote an afternoon to reading Swastika Night which could be a companion book to this show.
