Hogan, James P.
THE PROTEUS OPERATION
Germany has won World War II, and by 1974 only North America and Australia have
escaped fascism. Threatened by war, the remaining free countries develop a
secret project to contact such men as Churchill and Einstein back in 1939, and
provide them with information that may turn the tide of the war.

Rodolphe, and Claude Plumail. DAS REICHD
Series note: Graphic novels Citadel (1996) and Route des Svastikas (Swastika
Road; 1997). What if: Germany won World War II with the use of nuclear weapons.
Synopsis: Two prisoners escape a Japanese citadel and flee to the Great Reich.
Original in: French.

and along the same lines:
MAKING HISTORY by Stephen Fry
Offered the opportunity to change history, a Cambridge grad student prevents
the birth of Adolf Hitler, then finds himself in a world in which a more
charismatic leader led Nazi Germany to European domination by 1939.

A Uchronia search on the word "hitler" brings up dozens of stories and novels
about alternative history involving Hitler, though not all are assuming he won

Dennis Lien's answer to my posting should work
well for your patron. Go to -

"...the relevant part of the uchronia
site at http://www.uchronia.net/

especially the WWII years in the "divergence"
section at

REC'D: 2/7/03, 3:22 PM

Fatherland by Thomas Harris, Random House, 1992 is one good choice set in a near, alternative future. After Dachau by Daniel Quinn, Context Books, 2001 is set very far in an alternative future.

Possibly if you tried "Hitler" + "victory"?
