Could you recommend me any good fantasy books that are set in Nazi Germany? I haven't found any that seem good...
Thanks in advance.
 
Harry Turtledove has a alternative history series called Worldwar, with segments set in the Third Reich, and also a standalone novel, also AH, called Hitler's War...
 
The Iron Dream by Norman Spinrad is a brilliant satire of SF and Campbellian mythologising. It's a science fiction novel written by that well-known pulp cover artist and writer, Adolf Hitler.

Swastika Night by Murray Constantine is a rather harrowing alt-history (a form of fantasy, after all) about the eventual nature of a victorious Nazi regime, far in the future.
 
I seem to remember something called Moon of Ice by Brad Linaweaver, and that famous story by Keith Roberts, the title of which I can't possibly attempt spelling. And there's a novella called The Fall of Frenchy Steiner...

The Iron Dream is just... well, as good in execution as it is in conception, and that's saying something.
 
Jon George's Zootsuit Black has sections in Nazi Germany. Strictly speaking sf not fantasy - based on technology and flashbacks. Good story.

For Fantasy there is Barbara Hambly's Rainbow Abyss and the sequel - but it was supposed to be a trilogy and number 3 was never published. Cleverly working on Hitler's fascination with the occult. They are not her best books, but I am sorry not to have been able to finish reading the story, as some of the threads in the first two books suggested a build up to a cracking finale in book 3.

I'm glad someone else mentioned this, because I couldn't remember the title or the author! Well worth a read if you want to know how the madness of Nazi Germany might have left the world hundreds of years later - especially interesting regarding the role of women. Bizarrely, for a book of such insight, it was written before WW2.
