I'm looking for a book or books wherein tler's Germany wins WWII. Any suggestions or authors? Thanks!
I'm an amateur history buff, fascinated by the mystery of Roanoke, the possibility and ramifications of a Southern victory in the US Civil War or a triumphant Germany in WWII. If anyone could recommend any specific books or series or particular authors I'd be ever-so grateful. With so much to choose from it's hard to separate the wheat from the chaff!
I've read "The Great War" series by Harry Turtledove and was somewhat disappointed, but I'm not here to eviscerate him. Let's just say his critics are right on the money! Any recommended authors who are particularly good in the alternate history genre would be greatly appreciated!

There are several good "Alternate story" books The most famous is "The Man in the Dick. In it the Germans control the Eastern US and the Japanese Control the West. The story is mostly concentrated on the Japanese occupation, but there is some detail about the Nazi controlled areas.
If you are familiar with Philip K. Dick’s work, you may expect some strange turnings in the story, and there are. It is considered science fiction."SS-GB" by Len Deighton is about German occupied Great Britain.
It is about an English detective trying to solve a murder. The British law enforcement is controlled by the Gestapo and the SS, so techniques of investigation have changed somewhat."Fatherland" by Robert Harris is about a triumphant Germany, and takes place inside of Germany, and a Berlin that has been rebuilt to as carried out by Albert Speer. It is about a German officer who starts having doubts about the regime.
But is very old and no longer in charge of the government, but he is still considered "The Fuehrer" and makes one public appearance a year on his birthday. This one is not science fiction, there are no extraordinary elements in it. It is simply Harris writing a mystery story in a world that fortunately doesn’t exist.
I have read all the above books, plus one other that was really impressive but which I can’t remember the name of or the author.It took place in the United States after years of Nazi control and concentrated on how psychology and the concept of right and wrong would be changed under Nazi rule. I highly recommend it, and perhaps some other answerer will have a better memory than I do. A book I haven’t read, but which I plan to read soon is "Collaborator" by Murry Davies.
This is about the occupation of Britain in 1940 while the war is still on. This is what the British website fantasticfiction.co.uk has to say in its review: An enthralling what-if action adventure in the tradition of FATHERLAND, but set in occupied Britain December 1940 and England lies under German occupation. In the West Country, Nick Penny comes home after four months as a prisoner of war to act as interpreter to the provincial governor.
He finds his father dead, his mother crippled, and his best friend Roy heavily involved in a resistance movement. When war hero Matty Cordington returns to run his father’s estate, the three friends are reunited in a common purpose. Life under the occupation becomes a compromise at every level.
Nick’s sister Joan sleeps with a profiteer to find food for her family. There are leaks in the resistance movement, and Matty’s girlfriend is fingered and dispatched. The occupation turns nastier as with less food and greater demands on the civilian population to labour in the Reich.
Britain’s Jews are first deported, then the ’Final Solution’ is enacted on English soil. But treachery still dogs the resistance and, hunted by the Gestapo and the British police, Nick and his girlfriend Angel desperately race to eliminate the real traitor. The story then escalates to an explosive climax at the very centre of occupational power.
If you are a science fiction fan and like alternate history, there is a series by Harry Turtledove called "Worldwar" which is a four-book series with a sequel. The premise is that early during WW-II, aliens from outer space invade the Earth, and all the warring countries have to unite (sort of) to fight the aliens. This is only partly successful, and we end up with an Earth where the Nazis, the Communists, the Americans and British share power with the aliens.
Early on the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto side with the aliens, and get their own country. Some Earth people go with the aliens, and some aliens defect to the Earth people. The major character and the hero is a minor league ball player who gets involved because he reads a lot of science fiction and the army decides he can relate to the aliens.
Turns out they are right. I really enjoyed this series, but it may be too far out for someone who is not at least a moderate science fiction fan.

1 There's "The Man In The Dick, for one. That's considered a classic. Also "Swastika Night" by Katharine Burdekin and "Fatherland" by Robert Harris.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
