Some time ago I had a sweep of the Bronze Age mainly resultant from the news of Battle of Tollense - found a lot of stuff here but be aware that You have to sort it out as its a jumble of all kinds of academic papers though once You start looking up in there it will return regularly with proposals of further reading. The free edition have been sufficient for me though You may through payment get access to better search and reading results. Also You have to sort out stuff yourself as its academic papers not somebody's assessment of this or that but the various opinions and theories stored - helped my realize that a lot of History and Archeology is being discussed that we all like a new angle upon or new summary but the academicians aren't just ready for such yet. Some of it however have found a way into mainstream knowledge like new TV-series in Danish and Swedish television series on History and pre-History but also to be found in more popularized form in various magazines. Be prepared for using quite some time here if You dare or want!

The data is from here www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/LL-Ship/LL-Ship-7.html which is an official US WW2 source. It does contain this section in the 'Remarks': 'The figures for the British Empire include shipments for the home islands, for all the dominions (except Canada), and for all overseas possessions and colonies. Moreover, certain shipments were made to the United Kingdom for subsequent transfer to other countries, Such as Turkey, Poland, Norway, etc. These shipments have also been included in the figures for the British Empire.' |

Here's the AH book "If the Allies had fallen: sixty alternate scenarios of World War II" by Harold Charles Deutsch and Dennis E. Showalter. You need an account there to lend it, but I think it pays off. (At least, if you don't know it already.) I have Rising Sun Victorious: Alternate Histories of the Pacific War by Peter G. Tsouras. Third Reich Victorious: Alternative Decisions of World War II by Peter G. Tsouras. Disaster at Stalingrad: An Alternate History by Peter G. Tsouras. Disaster at D-Day: The Germans Defeat the Allies, June 1944 by Peter G. Tsouras. |

When I tried that link it came up with an error message
The link it was trying to make was
Possibly something else or less needed?
That's how the URL should look like. What happens if you enter that into your browser?
But yeah, it's impressive how many AH books they have: Robert Cowley and Niall Ferguson for non-fiction, many albeit not all works by AH authors Carl Amery, Christian von Ditfurth, Terry Pratchett, Kim Newman, Robert Conroy, Guy Saville, L. Neil Smith, John Christopher, Jo Walton, William Forstchen, Richard Garfinkle, Nathanael West, Wolfgang Jeschke, Robert Charles Wilson, Peter Millar, Douglas Adams, Jerry Yulsman, Michael Chabon, Robert Sobel, Stephen Fry, H. Beam Piper, Lavie Tidhar, Christoph Ransmayr, Simon Urban, Stefan Bachmann, Jasper Fforde, Hilary Bailey, Kingsley Amis, L. Sprague De Camp, John Brunner (one of my favorites)... I'll have to do quite some updates on the AH fiction wiki page here. Only one I'm missing would be Otto Basil.

That seems to work fine thanks. Now I just have to find time to try and investigate the site. Anyone got a reliable cloning machine?  |
