S1E26 -Chapter Twenty-Six: The Steel Commander!

On THE IRON DREAM, by Norman Spinrad

This episode looks at that famed grand-master of classic science fiction...Adolf Hitler? Actually, it's Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream, about an alternate universe in which the rise of the Nazis was entirely confined to the fevered pages of a pulp sci-fi novel. Good thing the genre fans of THIS universe would never embrace anything so reactionary, racist and authoritarian, right?
