The theme of Nazis escaping into space was already evident in Robert A. Heinlein's Rocket Ship Galileo, published two years after the end of World War II, wherein Nazis colonized the Moon after escape from their defeat on Earth. Later books with a similar premise often involve an alternate history featuring the Nazis winning World War II or extraterrestrials traveling back in time to supply advanced technology to one side (usually Germany). Most of Norman Spinrad's The Iron Dream consists of novel written by alternate-history Adolph Hitler who became a science fiction writer, which ends with cloned SS supermen initiating a galactic empire.
The reaction of local politicians and city officials was mostly positive at first. In fact, Oakland councilmember Desley Brooks was among the protestors sleeping in tents on the inaugural night of the encampment.[102] Councilwoman Jane Brunner expressed support for the movement by stating, "It's about time people are speaking up."[13] Mayor Jean Quan visited the protest site the next day on October 11, 2011, and according to KCBS, condoned the occupation but asked that campers not urinate on plaza’s large oak tree because it has shallow roots.[103] City administrator spokeswoman Karen Boyd said that the city's plan was to let the protesters stay "As long as they are peaceful and respectful of the rights of all the users of the plaza.".[104] Bay Area U.S. Congress members Barbara Lee and Pete Stark also released statements of support.[102]
I cannot for the life of me remember the title (there's a slim chance it was RAH, or possibly a whimsical PKD), but I once read a title that centered around an expedition to Venus to exterminate the last of the Nazis before they regained a foothold, only to find out that Venus didn't support life at all, and the encrypted message that had been received was nothing more than an automated S.O.S. sent out by the rocket with its last power supplies.
