The recent discussion about how the Great War affected the soldiers that fought in it gave me a interesting if rather absurd idea.
What would it take to switch the roles of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Adolf Hitler?
Have Hitler attempt to build some idealized utopia on the corpses of millions and go down as one of the most evil men who has ever lived, while Tolkien becomes the father of modern fantasy.
It doesn't have to be a direct switch, e.g. Hitler doesn't necessarily have to be a rabid anti-industrialist.
