1940, Alternate History novel... Jackboot Britain!
The Alternate History - What if Hitler had beaten Britain in 1940?
JACKBOOT BRITAIN is a new novel set in an alternate 1940 in which Nazi Germany was victorious over the British Empire. Jackboot Britain is a nightmare world; the book follows the trials and tribulations of a range of characters from various walks of life, as they struggle to exist in a Europe - and occupied UK - ruled by the Germany of Adolf Hitler.
From a platoon of captured British troops held as prisoners of war, to Major Jochen Wolf and the conflicted, and conflicting men of the SS in whose care they are placed; to the band of auxiliary partisans in the underground British resistance, anti-fascist veterans of the Spanish Civil War; to Naomi, a young, female Jewish teacher in Leeds and her clever, quirky male friend; Maisie a London shopgirl and Hans, an unwilling German soldier drafted to the Wehrmacht; Bill Wilson; ageing, monosyllabic alcoholic in a Bloomsbury pub; a humanist-libertarian journalist of renown; four young conscripts to the German Wehrmacht occupation force; Charlie, a disabled cockney street kid; the men of the SS Einsatzgruppen (action groups), whose 'police' work in occupied countries was a euphemism for murder and suppression; to the SS leaders themselves and their machinations for power and internecine intrigues, including "The Blond Beast", one of the 20th century's most notorious villains in SS and Police General Reinhard 'The Hangman' Heydrich himself...
The tapestry of their lives is woven through the powerful tale of a dystopian world that could have been...
Jackboot Britain depicts the grim realities of a Nazi Britain and Hitler's Europe through the lives and deaths, triumphs, setbacks and tragedies of this diverse range of characters, all of whom are caught up in the carnage and chaos of war

How does Britain get defeated, or is that not part of the story?

Obviously the chance of Operation Sealion's success was minimal to say the least in reality.sitalkes wrote:How does Britain get defeated, or is that not part of the story?
It takes a much greater collapse in all areas to stretch the realm of possibility to accommodate it; total military, political and social debellation, and an earlier invasion, and fall of, France.
Jackboot focuses on the story rather than getting caught up in the Sealion element per se.

Is it fair to call the op an advertisement?

I would say so, yes.maltesefalcon wrote:Is it fair to call the op an advertisement?
But in its context... is the sharing of information regarding a Nazi-themed alternate history novel on a forum dedicated to discussion of All Things Nazi (or regarding the republic that preceded Hitler, or the fascist states of Italy and Spain, or Imperial Japan, Vichy France, World War II as a whole... etc, ad nauseum) in other words, to raise awareness amongst those most likely to be interested in the subject matter... really so bad?
PLUR, hombre

Moving this to the correct section. An author or publisher posting about on-topic fictional works here is definitely ok but the correct section to use is "The World Wars in Fiction".

The reason I keyed on this as an ad is because:
The book description looked like it was written from the cover jacket.
There were links showing us exactly how to buy it
It was the op's first post.

Re: 1940, Alternate History novel... Jackboot Britain!
I read a book about 20 years ago titled "SS-GB". Essentially a murder mystery in Nazi controlled London and another book of short stories based on alternate post-WW2 history called "Hitler Won the War". I vaguely recall one story that took place where Japan controls the U.S. west of the Mississippi River and Germany to the east of the river. If you can find them, they might be worth the read if you are interested in such alternate realities.

Anyway, I've had some good feedback on Jackboot Britain. If anyone here feels the urge, I would love to hear their views on it.
