In honor of the 75th anniversary of D-Day (it's a day late, so I apologize), what are some of the best AH D-Day books/stories out there or online?
One of my favorites is Bloody Normandy by Tim Kilvert Jones (from The Hitler Options: Alternate Decisions of World War II, which was edited by Kenneth Macksey), where the PoD is that Rommel is not on leave on June 6th, 1944 and, as a result, the German panzer divisions are deployed differently and thrown into battle at once. It does have a different ending from the usual Germans win D-Day cliché: while the Americans are repulsed at Omaha Beach, the Allies still win the day, in part because they move the follow-up forces for Omaha Beach to Utah Beach...
