Basil:Wenn das der Führer wüsste

Hitler has triumphed, the atomic bomb did not fall on Hiroshima, but on London. The Germanic Empire has been established. Only the Greater Asian region is dominated by the Japanese. Berlin is the capital of power, the capital of Germany and thus half the world. The Pope and the Dalai Lama are held captive in a neurosurgical clinic in Cologne, from Ireland to the Urals rise the SS order castles, the breeding mother monasteries, the halls of the Ariosophists, the Napolas, and subhuman camps. This is the backdrop when Adolf Hitler dies and is buried with immense pomp. His successor is named Ivo Köpfler. In the midst of this nightmare is the loyal party comrade Albin Totila Höllriegl, an Austrian who is driven to Berlin by a monumental mission. If the Führer only knew, it caused a stir at the Frankfurt Book Fair in 1966 as well as in literary criticism and became a bestseller that managed to stay on the bestseller lists for some time. A novel that one does not forget. With guest appearances by Heimito von Doderer and Martin Heidegger, for whom Basil invented a constructed language.
