I'm a librarian and got a call from a patron looking for a book of which he can't remember the name. It sounds truly odd and NoveList and Google have both failed us. Hitler and Eva Braun have a son and he becomes an astronaut. Again, this is second-hand, and the patron couldn't provide any more details. I doubt it's going to turn up, but with a summary that strange, I think the whole department would like to know what it is now.
I'm not certain about this title, but you might recommend Stephen Fry's *Making History* - it is a very interesting alternate history of Nazism.
In the book
Hitler Victorious, there is a short story by Sheila Finch called "Reichs-Peace" in which Hitler has an adopted son who is an astronaut that gets stranded on the moon somehow.
That's all I was able to come up with. Perhaps you might have better luck posting in the
Name That Book group?
The SF fans group came up with the same answer, and the patron says that isn't it.
I'm starting to suspect that he's wrongly remembering it as a novel, and that this really is it, because the alternative is that two people wrote stories about Hitler's son growing up to be an astronaut, and that would be a little too strange for me.
Thanks, everybody.
