Adolf Hitler emigrated to the USA after the end of World War I and there he began working as an illustrator for science fiction magazines. After a few years he became a writer and his 1953 novel “The Lord of the Swastika” won the Hugo Prize, a posthumous recognition since Hitler died shortly after its publication.

The novel “The Lord of the Swastika” is set in a post-atomic future where the world is mostly radioactive. The survivors rebuilt at least partially the human civilization but their descendants are mostly mutant. Feric Jaggar is a Trueman born in the Republic of Heldon but his family was exiled. As an adult he returns to his homeland but realizes that the Dominators are in power so he begins a political activity to make Heldon great again by getting rid of the mutants.
