A comical look at the return of Hitler

Eighty years after Adolf Hitler's rise to power, a novel that imagines his return to modern-day Berlin has become a bestseller in Germany, though a comedy about the Fuehrer is not to everyone's taste.
Instead of committing suicide in his bunker on April 30, 1945, in He's Back (Er Ist Wieder Da), Hitler wakes up in 2011 without the slightest idea of what has happened in the intervening 66 years.
He stumbles through Berlin, dazed by the fact that Germany is now ruled by a woman and is home to millions of Turks.
