That could be an interesting topic because in many (not all tho) respects
Goldenbaum's Galactic Empire compares with Hitler and the rise of the third
reich.
Here are some other thoughts:
LoGH's approach is interesting because it picks up that empire nearly 500 years
later. In some ways you can look at it as a 'ok, what if Hilter won... ' --
Reinhard does not 'fit' in the reich profile. His reasons for fighting are
very personal and in truth, he's more of a reformer.
