I'm a librarian and got a call from a patron looking for a book of which he can't remember the name. It sounds truly odd and NoveList and Google have both failed us. Hitler and Eva Braun have a son and he becomes an astronaut. Again, this is second-hand, and the patron couldn't provide any more details. I doubt it's going to turn up, but with a summary that strange, I think the whole department would like to know what it is now.

Seems this is not a novel, but a story in a collection called Hitler Victorious.
That may have been why it wasn't coming up in NoveList. Can't imagine why it didn't turn up on our Google searches. Thanks!
...and we called back the patron and he says that isn't it.
So, either the patron is firm in an incorrect conviction that it's a novel and not a short story, or two people wrote "Hitler's son grows up to be an astronaut" stories. I'm kind of disturbed by the second possibility.

Pfui! I thought I had solved the mystery! Now, if I can just find that other HITLER'S SON IS AN ASTRONAUT piece of fiction . . .
The Iron Dream is an SF story with the narrative frame that it is written by Adolf Hitler.
I posted this question in the Name That Book group. so far no answers other than the short story I found. I'm curious to hear if any other possible answers come up.
