Taken from the marvellous Hawkwind song reference document put together by
several people on this list (past & present) a few years ago:

"The Iron Dream - book by Norman Spinrad, supposedly written by an Adolf
Hitler from an alternate universe in which he emigrated to the USA and
became a pulp writer. It's in fact a reworking of the first few bars of the
Mars Overture from Holst's Planets Suite, which is appropriate as it was
usually played live at the end of Uncle Sam's on Mars."
