Or something like that. Picked this trade book up at Hastings. Not the best written or best researched quasi non-fictional conterfactual history I've read, but it is interesting nonetheless. It includes a lot of Hitler's own predictions taken from his recorded dinnertime monologues as well as various official and unofficial published war aims from Germany, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Finland, etc. These are the highlights of the book and serve to point out how completely unrealistic and fantastical the Nazi schemes were, with Hitler planning for new art museums, opera houses, and hydrogen power in his Reich as the war is being lost
One thing that comes out is that, other than there would be a "final solution" regarding the Jews one way or another and the former USSR would be treated awfully, Hitler, other Nazis, and his allies were all over the map on specifics, making an attempt to put together a single reasonable prediction impossible. But there's great fodder for AH fiction, and the author then creates his own fictional timeline beginning with the fall of Leningrad to create (a quite unlikely, IMHO) sequence in which Germany, Italy, and their other European allies win WW2 - effectively defeat the USSR and reach an armistice with Britain and the USA, while the USA defeats Japan as in OTL. How they do this is rather like a late night game of "Risk" but it makes fun reading.
Anyone else see this book?
