Plot Summary
Look Who's Back begins with Adolf Hitler waking up in 21st-century Berlin. He is disoriented and confused, but quickly realizes that he is in a different time and place. Hitler is initially shocked by the modern world, but he quickly adapts and begins to use his charisma and demagoguery to win over the German people.
Hitler starts by giving a speech at a local beer hall. He is initially met with hostility, but he quickly wins over the crowd with his promises to restore Germany to its former glory. Hitler's popularity grows rapidly, and he soon becomes a media sensation. He is invited to appear on television and radio, and he gives interviews to newspapers and magazines. Hitler's message of nationalism and anti-Semitism resonates with many Germans, and he soon becomes one of the most popular politicians in the country.
As Hitler's popularity grows, so does his power. He is elected to the Bundestag, the German parliament, and he quickly becomes a leading figure in the country's politics. Hitler uses his position to pass laws that restrict the rights of minorities and to increase the power of the state. He also begins to rearm Germany, in preparation for a future war.
Look Who's Back ends with Hitler on the brink of war. He has successfully manipulated the German people into supporting his plans for conquest, and he is now poised to plunge the world into another devastating conflict.
