Abstract
The aim of this study is to stylise a historical figure that has become universal: Hitler. Schmitt works as a novelist, drawing on a known referentiality to trace the causes of the Führer's actions, albeit subjectively. Through fiction, he shines a harsh light on the character's psychology, the better to de-heroise him and, by means of a "reductio ad hitlerum", reflect back to him the opprobrium he has cast in the face of the entire human race. Using a variety of techniques, the author sets out to deconstruct Hitler and tell a plausible story. Keywords: Stylisation, referentiality, deconstruction, de-heroisation, reductio ad hitlerum
