I can second the Turtledove stuff. The arrogance of the invaders is also a hoot.
If you need some toys to smash or tool around in, I have some real, fake, and REALLY fake stuff on my vehicle page.

Space is still down however.

I just finished a book that might be of interest. Its called "My Tank is Fight!" by Zack Parsons.
It is about some of the crazier real world super weapons projects of World War Two. Each weapon is described and analysed then given a fictional battle report. If you like real world WW2 era tech or crazy stuff like War Wheels you have got to give it a look.
The sections are:
1.) Land
the Maus
LandKreuzer P Ratte
German trans channel supergun
Wire guided antitank weapons
Vampir nightvision scopes
LandKreuzerPP Monster
2.)Air
Weser WP -like a Nazi Osprey
The Christie Flying Tank
The Heliofly single soldier helicopter back pack
German A10 super rocket and Von Braun's space station
Horten HO flying wing fighter
German A-Bomb
Axis parasite kamikaze fighter
Silverbird orbitol bomber
3.) Sea
Axis hovercraft raider
Submarine li cruiser ala the Surcouf
HMS Habbakuk-with a nice illustration
Seeteufel a submarine tank
Sub launched V2
The tone is light and very funny in the analysis but the what if sections read like short novellas. I just can't reccomend it enough for it's GM inspiring goodness.

I did a write-up of the Ratte for DH. http://www.herogames.com/viewDHIssue...issueID=217474
Ages ago I posted a US modified Surcouf HDC sheet, but no one ever downloaded it, so it got dropped from my attachments.

Watch the original Why We Fight seven part series which explains the origins of the war, and the true menace of the Axis.
Wonder Woman First Season for a TV show that had the right feel of 1940s adventure
The Phantom with Billy Zane and Catherine Zeta Jones.
All Star Squadron comics was set in during World War Two as well.
Check out some of my characters.

I just put up a 150 point character called the Swashbuckler in "My Superhero Universe" Thread in Champions.
He's based loosely on Errol Flynn.
