The 1992 novel by Robert Harris is a great example of the otherwise generally mediocre “Germany won WWII” alternate history premise. By removing the regime from its current almost mythologized status as a unique and singular evil, instead portraying it as merely a repressive state in a Cold War, Fatherland illustrates an uncomfortable truth about realpolitik and atrocities. CORRECTION: Somehow I put up a picture of Bormann when I was talking about Buhler. 🔹 Patreon | patreon.com/FeralHistorian 🔹 Ko-Fi | ko-fi.com/feralhistorian And my own book, not alternate history, Ninti’s Gate is available on kindle and in paperback, 🔹 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYXH9BWD 00:00 Intro 00:55 The Case 02:20 Out of Myth, into the Mundane 06:13 Detente and Bureaucracy 09:11 HBO’s Adaptation 10:01 Ignoring Inconvenient Truths
