In Blood of the Father, Heart of Steel, a group of Neo-Nazis led by Fritz commanded Dr. Thaddeus "Rusty" Venture to clone a human body for Adolf Hitler and transfer Hitler's body and genetic information to it from the dog body that housed Hitler. After Rusty failed to comply and Hitler the dog was not given back to them, the Neo-Nazis took him captive. The Neo-Nazis were ultimately destroyed by a "spell of purification" cast by Dr. Orpheus.
