Wow, I am impressed at the interest this topic has brought upon our viewers and friends.
A very interesting scenario it is too, specially for creating skins.
Its always a bit of fun to re-write history to our own terms and happy glorious endings,
although the world we live in is a totally diferent one. But its great to imagine what could
have been.
A few years back I bought a Book called "Fatherland" by Robert Harris, after reading it ,
it got me thinking what it could have been like if Germany had won World War II. The book is very well written
and it was a world best-seller. They even made a movie about it with Rudger Hauer, although the
movie really bombed and was nothing compared to the great story in the book.

There is also another great book and story in a book called "SS-GB " by Len Deighton, which will shock
you a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS-GB
"Clash of Eagles" by Leo Rutman, is another very interesting story book. Sort of like a Pulp-fiction novel.
Nazi Germany launched a major invasion across the Atlantic, out of the United Kingdom which was conquered in the previous year. German forces under Erwin Rommel land in Quebec and sweep across New England to New York City. The rest of the United States remains unoccupied but perilously exposed to further attacks, and the Roosevelt Administration evacuates the endangered Washington, D.C. and moves westwards.
I almost forgot to mention... "The Man in the High Castle " by Philip K. Dick, this one is a great novel.
Some places on the internet offer these books for download for free.
DO a google search for them :wink:
