In light of this, I decided to institute a new feature on the blog where I can bring up whatever's on my mind, be it terrible book covers, titles, ideas, bloggers (okay, probably just Pat), you name it and have some fun with it.

There's not much to say on this one other than I'm pretty sure I'll have to read this at some point just to find out why Hitler is riding a futuristic motorcycle.Anyone read it?

The central conceit is that Hitler moved to America in the 1919 and became a pulp SF author. Most of the text is taken up by a 'reprint' of his 'Lord of the Swastika' novel. Here's the Wikipedia entry on the book: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Iron_Dream which goes into much more detail.
I highly recommend it - it's a classic.
I read it when I was a youngster. It might have been the first alternate reality novel I ever read. It was good and I've always remembered it fondly. Must read it again sometime.
@jim - Awesome, it looks way too crazy to pass up. :)
@graywave - Thanks for your input. I thought this cover was so crazy, but it looks like it's not a bad book either.
