I recall a story a read a long time ago (decades) wherein Hitler is dead, but not dead...poisoned by rebels...coagulated stalgmites of blood hanging from his mouth, while dark spirits in his thrall prowl and hunt those who do not worship the victory parades. It involved a time traveller/alternate universe traveller who draws some of these demons back to our existence and they are shot by a large caliber weapon...the story ends with this scene in the water of a beach.
Any idea of the title and story please, I would like to obtain and read it again.

Was this the one that starts in this world with a story about a strangely pale, dark haired couple living on a greek island? The couple turn out to be refugees from the alternate reality. If so I don't think it's quite as you recall, but close.
Danged if I can recall title and author at the moment.

Yes! That's it by golly. A good short story and I wish I could recall the author and title so I could hunt it down for a re-read.

It's in one of the Best SF of the year collections edited by Gardner Dozois. I can't recall which one at the moment. Unfortunately I'm in the middle of having the house worked over by painters and decorators and my books are all in a lock-up store. If I get time I'll see if I can find the box, the book and then the story in question.
