History:
(History) - Not much is known about Adolf from Earth-4263, but he was presumably a failed artist and former soldier that went into politics and ended up becoming the dictator of Germany.

(Daring Mystery Comics#8/7 (fb)) <1942> - After conquering several nations during World War II things weren't looking too well for Germany. Hitler had a meeting with Goebbels, Goering and Schalz to come up with an exit plan for them. Hitler collected the wealth of all the conquered nations and hid it in a cave in Germany's Black Forest and then plunged into a pool of a special chemical ice invented by Schalz, which put them into suspended animation for the next 1109 years.

   <3051> - The entrance to the cave was opened, the ice melted and Hitler and his three allies were once again among the living.

(Daring Mystery Comics#8/7 (fb) - BTS) - Hitler used his wealth to acquire a rocket ship.

(Daring Mystery Comics#8/7) - Three months later Hitler, Goebbels and Schalz used the rocket ship to attack the congressional building in Washington D.C. during a world peace conference, killing or injuring most of the delegates. Captain Daring and his fleet shot down the rocket ship, but Hitler, Goebbels and Schalz escaped with parachutes. Captain Daring confronted the trio and was shocked when he recognized Hitler as one of the culprits. The former dictator revealed how he and his men had survived until 3050 and then tried to convince Daring to lead his armies to conquer Earth and then the entire universe, but a baffled Daring only wondered where Hitler's third associate Goering was. Seconds later Goering clobbered Daring over the head with a steel pipe and Schalz then put Daring under a hypnotic spell to put the futuristic adventurer under their complete control because Hitler needed him because Daring possessed the greatest military knowledge of military strategy of this era.

   With promises of wealth, power and glory Hitler bribed millions of men to join his Blitzkrieg against Earth led by Captain Daring.

TO BE CONTINUED...OR NOT

Comments: Adapted by unidentified writer and Frank Borth.

Daring Mystery Comics was renamed Comedy Comics with #9 and while some features from this issue were continued there, Captain Daring was not so lucky, despite the promise that he would return next issue. He was instead replaced by a pretty similar 31st century adventurer known as Captain Dash, who fought very stereotypical Asian looking bad guys from the Pacific Isles instead of Nazis. It is likely that there were real world reasons for that because of Japan and their attack on Pearl Harbor.

Adolf's first name was mistakengly spelled Adolph in the story, but maybe it was the actual spelling of his name in this alternate reality. Same with Goering, whose name is actually spelled Göring with an umlaut.

CLARIFICATIONS:
Adolf Hitler is an alternate version of:

But should not be confused with:

Joseph Goebbels

Joseph Goebbels was the Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda.

(Daring Mystery Comics#8/7 (fb)) <1942> - Goebbels was at a meeting with Hitler, Goering and Schalz when things didn't look so good for Germany during World War II. Hitler had come up with a plan to escape certain death by using Schalz's chemical ice to survive into the 31st century and Goebbels was among the men that joined Hitler in a hidden cave in Germany's Black Forest to plunge into a pool of chemical ice and get put in suspended animation.

   <3051> - The cave entrance was discovered, the ice melted after it was opened and the awakened Goering, Goebbels and Schalz joined Hitler's plans of conquest once again.

(Daring Mystery Comics#8/7) - Schalz was aboard a rocket ship with Hitler and Goebbels during an attack on a world peace conference at the congressional building in Washington D.C. Many delegates died or were injured during the attack, but the rocket ship was shot down by Captain Daring and his fleet. Hitler, Goebbels and Schalz escaped with parachutes, but were confronted by a surprised Captain Daring, who recognized Hitler and listened to his story how he and his men had survived. After Daring was knocked out by Goering and then hypnotized by Schalz to become the commander of Hitler's army, Goebbels used Telecast News United to begin a propaganda campaign for Hitler's Blitzkrieg. He pointed out how the forces of democracy had already lost 12,000 men while Hitler's army had only lost 2 and one light tank.
