4th Reich: Puremen vs. the Mutants for Control of the World

By CBS Electronics, Ferti · Art by CBS Electronics, Kids Games Ltd

"4th Reich: Puremen vs. the Mutants for Control of the World" is a somewhat obscure wargame by Task Force Games based on (albeit without attribution) the SF-novel "The Iron Dream" by the Jewish author Norman Spinrad. This very controversial novel describes a parallel world in which Hitler wasn't successful with his "Kampf" in Germany and became a successful SF-pulp-novelist in the US. The main part of the book is the actual text of Hitler's "Iron Dream", a pulp-tale about "Ubermenschen" conquering a future world filled with mutant "scum." The idea of Spinrad's novel was to expose fascist tendencies in 50's American literature. The TFG designers transported this "theme" into a board game which plays like a wargame: future Nazis against future mutants. The names of all protagonists have been changed in an apparent attempt to avoid infringement, but the game clearly takes its slightly tongue-in-cheek approach directly from the book.
