Adolf Hitler and His Submarine or Adolf vs. the Mafia

by Michael Christopher

Overview

Continuing in the series, Adolf Hitler and His Submarine or Adolf vs. the Mafia is Book four of the Hitler Chronicles, (but the second book published).

In this satirical mashup novel our hero, Adolf Hitler, learns of Canadian gold laying in a sunken ship, on the bottom of the ocean near South America. This gold was destined to aid a Pro-Eugenics revolt in various banana republics. Adolf decides he and his father should take their new submarine, The Sea Lion, and find the gold for themselves. Meanwhile, the evil eugenics Prime Minister Tommy 'The Needle' Douglas and his grandson, Jack Beck, make a deal with the American Mafia to capture the Sea Lion, the Hitler's, and bring back the gold. The race for the gold is on, with Adolf and crew fighting the Brazilian navy, the Mafia and their submarine The Stugots, as well as creatures of the deep.

Many historical characters are introduced into the story, including eugenics supporters George Bernard Shaw, John Kellogg, and many characters from the last book return. Tom does battle once again with young Winston Churchill, and his friends, Joey Steele and Frankie Roosevelt.

Submarines, counterfeit money, mafia dons, capos, solders, enemas, corn flakes, a swarthy navy, the Clean Bowel Battalion and a true Southern Gentleman are all mixed together, mashed up and presented for your satirical delight.

A black comedy with layers of subtle satire, parody and a little history tossed in makes Adolf Hitler and his Submarine a great book. For those who liked Adolf Hitler and his Airship they won't want to miss the action and leadership that only Adolf Hitler can deliver.

The action in this book takes place after Adolf Hitler and His Airship concludes.

About the Author

You're wondering what kind of a person wrote, what I call, 'The Hitler Chronicles'. Let's see, I've worked in media most of my life, print/audio/video. Most of my writing has been for commercial use, as well as a few 'how to' books published years ago.

My books are a satirical thought experiment: what if one of the many early leftist proponents of eugenics took power instead of Hitler? What would the world be like if, instead of a Nazi/racial nightmare there was a socialist one? This is explored over the entire series as a subplot.

Why this series? Growing up I moved to Vancouver, Canada, for a year. Canadian history was pretty dull. Except the odd stuff they don't talk about. For example: the man who started their Universal Health Care, Tommy Douglas, (Keifer Sutherland's grandfather), was voted 'Greatest Canadian Ever'.

He also 'proposed a system that would require couples seeking to marry to be certified as mentally fit. Those judged "subnormal" would be sent to state camps, those mentally defective would be sterilized.' Really. Jack Bauer's granddaddy.

But this series is not just a thought experiment, it's a fun satire on contemporary values set in the 1930's with lots of historical twists.

Who will enjoy reading my books? Maybe not Canadians, but if you are a history junkie, like satire, like mashups - Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (without the Zombies) - and those who like totally off the wall humor with a tall order of parody mixed in, give Adolf a chance to get into your heart.
