What if the Allies had been defeated at Normandy? What if the German airborne had kept its wings after the capture of Crete? How would Britain have stood up in the face of tyranny after the fall of France should Winston Churchill have been absent from office? In this fascinating collection of alternate outcomes to some of the most pivotal moments of World War II, Peter G. Tsouras has assembled top historians and military analysts to discuss alternate realities where slightly different circumstances could have led to German victory.
A stimulating and entirely plausible insight into how Hitler and his generals might have defeated the Allies, and a convincing sideways look at the Third Reich's bid at world domination in World War II. A spirited and terrifying alternate history, and a telling insight into the dramatic possibilities of World War II.
Explores the alternate outcomes of decisions that Hitler could have made, but
didn't, during the Second World War. Skilfully and engagingly written by
leading military historians.
In showing what could have happened, the author--a leading historian of the
period--shows how precarious the Cold War peace actually was, and how little
it would have taken to tip the balance into World War III. 44 illustrations.
'Hitler Triumphant is a thoughtful, well-edited and very well-chosen selection of essays . . . Tsouras has assembled an A-Team of well-known historians and military analysts who have given a great deal of thought to the various turning points of World War II' – World War II Based on a series of fascinating 'what ifs' posed by leading military historians, this compelling new alternate history reconstructs the moments during the Second World War that could conceivably have altered the entire course of the war and led to a German victory.
