There are many ways to interpret the title. The books deals with the author's problematic relationship to his father. He has said that Hitler inspires the same horror as his father did to him when he was a child.

To avoid spoilers, I would say that this also gives context to the choice of the title. So to answers OPs question. Yes, I find the title strange (it is pretty controversial). But also, the title is descriptive and relevant (my opinion). Full disclosure: I am huge fan of Knausgård :)
