History of a fascinating topic done monotonously and dismissively of the very media it attempts to analyze. ( ) A reasonably good survey of what alternate history says about how attitudes about the Hitlerian Germany have evolved over time, from horrible warning, to signifier of the moral abyss, to just another source of cultural imagery. Part of this is just a function of the "normalization" of history, partly it's a case of other political agendas being foremost in the minds of the authors. They're all grist for Rosenfeld's mill, although he has pause about the awful warning that is the Nazi regime being lost in the inevitable erosion of memory and the drive for historical perspective. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

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.
