Hmm.... what if he -did-? Maybe he and Crazy Joe were both making a run for the
Butcher of Humanity and the last, frantic, exterminations in the camps as the
Allies were closing in were enough to push Adolf into the Stratosphere. Perhaps
it's the influence of this Archetype that has tilted the balance back towards
genocide (Yugoslavia, Rwanda, etc.) since WW2.

You could have a kind of Boys from Brazil re-do where some old Ira Levin-type is
the one making Hitler clones - mean and evil enough to displace their daddy but
less anti-Semitic. The occultist figures his chances of getting rid of the
archetype altogether are slim to nothing, but he can't live with the idea of
condemning an eternity of Jews to an eternity of Holocausts; so, he's trying to
oust Adolf and replace him. Might make an interesting conflict-of-ethics
campaign thread; do you help the occultist in his quest to push a rabid
sociopath into the Stratosphere as the lesser of two evils, or do you go for the
brass ring and try to stop him and yank Adolf down at the same time? Quite a
dilemma. You could call it the Boys from Agartha or the Boys from the
Stratosphere or something.
