About this listen

Eminent Oxford don Sir Harrison Ashcroft, on the verge of proving that Hitler did not die in the bunker, is murdered in Berlin. His daughter, Emily, continues this quest. Her life is endangered but she has new and unexpected protectors: Rex Foster, researching the vainglory of Nazi architecture; Nicholas Kirvov, curator of a Soviet art museum; and Tovah Levine, Mossad agent. The four prove a tough match for a coterie of neo-Nazis conspiring to perpetuate Hitler's image and obscure the details of his death. The true story of Hitler's last hours is revealed in counterpoint by Eva Braun, who has indeed survived. Now known as Evelyn Hoffmann, she has another secret: she and der Fuhrer had a child.

This is an alternate history that posits the survival of Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun after WWII and follows the antics of a group of stunningly incompetent wannabe mastermind nazis as they blunder around trying to foil the curious prying of a few hapless Hitler enthusiasts as to what actually happened to you-know-who after the war. I found this book utterly ridiculous and rather painfully outdated on the re-read, and definitely not on par with Wallace's much more compelling 'The Man', but am rating it higher than I am inclined to because thirteen year old me found it enthralling all those years ago when I first read it and because the narrator did a good job imo.

This book was a good thriller, drawing from the theory that Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun did not die in 1945.. Worth a listen if it's your kind of thing.

Good if fanciful
