nteresting idea here – how would World War Two have changed if Neville Chamberlain had not just given Hitler Czechoslovakia, kicking off the war earlier, say, 1938?
It’s interesting in that the Japanese are no-way interested in bombing Pearl Harbor yet. The Germans are slugging their way into France with a lot less then they had in 1940 – only Panzer Is and IIs. More importantly, General Sanjurjo does not die in a plane crash and runs the Spanish Civil War himself, instead of Franco. So there are no quick thrusts – just a slog in Spain, France, Poland and eastern Russia. The action comes to us through the eyes of a dozen or more characters.
And yes, when I got to the end of the book, they were still slogging. I had to groan. Looking it up, I found that this was a six book set. While it was interesting and enjoyable, it was rather the same thing – the food sucks, lots of dead bodies, constant danger, etc. I cant imagine going through another five books of the set. Perhaps you can. If so, jump right in. And post me those reviews so I can put them up.
