What if the Nazis had triumphed in World War II? What if Adolf
Hitler had escaped Berlin for the jungles of Latin America in 1945?
What if Hitler had become a successful artist instead of a
politician? Originally published in 2005, Gavriel D. Rosenfeld's
pioneering study explores why such counterfactual questions on the
subject of Nazism have proliferated within Western popular culture.
Examining a wide range of novels, short stories, films, television
programs, plays, comic books, and scholarly essays appearing in
Great Britain, the United States, and Germany post-1945, Rosenfeld
shows how the portrayal of historical events that never happened
reflects the evolving memory of the Third Reich's real historical
legacy. He concludes that the shifting representation of Nazism in
works of alternate history, as well as the popular reactions to
them, highlights their subversive role in promoting the
normalisation of the Nazi past in Western memory.
