* In ''The Secret Visitors'' by James White, aliens are trying to wipe out the human race so they can take Earth's riches for themselves. The protagonist learns that Hitler's mania was caused or at least aggravated by the aliens, who deliberately egged him on in the hope that the Second World War would do the job for them. (The first World War was all our own doing, though.) |

* Implied in ''[[Operation Chaos]]'' by [[Poul Anderson]], where a group of demons in Hell includes one who bears a striking resemblance to Hitler (although the protagonist, being from an [[Alternate History]], doesn't recognise him). |

* The [[Lensman]] prequel ''Triplanetary'' says that Hitler was actually an Eddorian agent in disguise. The same agent was also Kaiser Wilhelm and the guy who started [[World War III]]. (This would require him to be in two places at once, since Hitler and the Kaiser were both alive at the same time, but this is hardly the most implausible thing in ''Triplanetary'', which [[EE Doc Smith]] originally wrote as "a yarn in which scientific detail would not be bothered about, and in which his imagination would run riot". In ''First Lensman'' he compounds the improbability, perhaps lampshade-wise, by adding Mussolini to the list.) |
