Look Who’s Back Plot Summary

What happens in Look Who’s Back from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 11 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In 2011, Adolf Hitler wakes up in a vacant lot in Berlin, the garden outside the bunker where his body was burnt, with no memory of what happened after 1945. Homeless and destitute, he interprets every sight and sound through a Nazi lens, drawing sharp, misleading conclusions about the world around him. For example, he believes that Turks living in Germany prove that Karl Dönitz persuaded Turkey to join the Axis, and he even thinks that Wikipedia is named for Wikinger (Vikings).
