Rare first edition of this illustrated book that uses H. C. Andersen’s ""The Evil Prince"" as a model for an audacious plot that shows Hitler's megalomania and greed for power. Hans Christian Andersen’s 1840 tale, The Evil Prince, concerns a tyrant who, not satisfied with conquering neighboring countries, builds a spaceship and sets out to conquer God. In this version of the tale, published after the liberation of Denmark from Nazi occupation, Adolf Hitler assumes the title role and pursues the mad dream of world conquest, helped by Nazi storm-troopers and soldiers.
