Welcome to Litsy!

Fascinating premise, but the execution was clunky - dialogue heavy instead of actually showing events, which made it seem longer than it was. Still fascinating considering it was published in 1937. In this envisioned future world domination is split between Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan. Women are treated as cattle, good only for bearing children. Homosexuality among men is the norm and Hitler is worshipped as 7 foot tall, blond Aryan god.

You have done us a very great harm, because now we can‘t really love all through, as we should like to, even the best German, not even the best man, if he should be a German, in the world.

I was so lonely that I began to understand about God. Not Hitler, not the god of the Germans, but about God, whatever God is, but I never could hold the understanding together. It came and went like the best part of the sunsets.

This is the second alternate reality dystopia I have read recently and I think I am not a huge fan.
Written in 1935 and published in 1937, The story tells of Alfred, an Englishman, on a Holy Pilgrimage 700 years after Hitler. Alfred has had issues believing the concept that Hitler was a god, who exploded into existence rather than being born of woman, and that Germans are the superior race. A chance encounter gives Alfred a glimpse of the truth.

"Sir, where there is no liberty of judgment, there is no honour. 'Nothing is dishonourable.' If there is in a man's mind any overriding idea, any faith, that can make all things honourable, however cruel, however treacherous, however untrue, in that man's soul there can be no honour. Your word as a Teutonic Knight is no good to me."
