   Hiya Steve.  Did you have any time to see if you could find this story   
   yet?  There is a partial list of all of the Dozois anthologies on   
   Wikipedia but even the title of the story, let alone its author,   
   doesn't gel.  I do remember there was a dead Hitler in it, of   
   poisoning, but still supernaturally alive, spectres like ghostly   
   Gestapo, a triumph in the streets, etc.  I am going through some   
   upheavals at the moment, so if you can't do it, I probably won't ask   
   again.   
      
   Thanks in any case.
