I've not seen this Charlie Chaplin classic since highschool- but does his satirical depiction of Adenoid Hynkel & his Jewish barber double- together with his incongruously making a speech for world peace- constitue a form of AH ?

The Great Dictator is more satire than anything else. It isn't trying to create an alternate world, simply to poke fun at the Hitler regime.
Also, I do recommend watching it. It might not be AH, but it is still a damn good film.
