The Iron Dream (Science Fiction Rediscovery Series) by Norman Spinrad
Well, since there is no review of this book, I'd better add at least one since I still own an (ancient) copy of this book.
The Iron Dream is a SF novel "By Adolph Hitler". For Spinrad fans, that says it all. It is a transcendant satire of the theory of racial purity, featuring inferior races in a slobbering profusion and a blond haired, physically and mentally perfect leader who will stop at nothing to defend all that is right and pure.
It actually ends up being a rollicking good read, even as it warps your brain (much as do a number of other Spinrad novels and stories, such as Bug Jack Barron or Passing Through the Flame).
