* Played with in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' [[Virgin New Adventures|New Adventures]] novel ''Timewyrm: Exodus'', where Hitler separately receives covert assistance from two different groups of aliens attempting to further their own ends—but neither is able to control him, and what he does with their assistance is all entirely his own idea.

* Inverted in the classic ''[[Old World of Darkness]]''. The creators felt putting one of the (many) supernatural groups in the [[Fantasy Kitchen Sink]] behind the Nazis' horrors would be in bad taste. Which leads to a very strange situation where, in the [[Crapsack World]] that is the World of Darkness, World War II is the only event in human history that ''wasn't'' in some way manipulated by the supernatural.

* Similarly averted in ''[[In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas]]'', as well as their American version, ''[[In Nomine]]'': Although some notable historical events (such as the Crusades) resulted from celestial or infernal intervention; Hitler's actions were independent and a complete surprise to both Heaven and Hell.
