In short “How many Sixes” or “HM6”, this TL by Max Sinister researches the eternal question of whether Nazi Germany could've won World War 2 in a half-way realistic way. Let's see. But if finished, this won't be like "climbing the Mount Everest of AH", but more like diving into its Marianas Trench.

The PoD is the defeat of the BEF at Dunkirk. The first one of them, anyway.

Currently, the TL has only reached June/July 1940 so far.

The Butterfly Effect will be in full… swing.

This will be pretty hard to write (and to read), and not only because the odds are so skewed IOTL. Expect lots of black humor as a coping mechanism.

It's the first TL by Max Sinister which'll be written both in an English and a German version (Wieviele Sechsen muss Adolf Nazi würfeln?), parallel. Argue among yourself which one would be the first one.

The story is (or will be) dedicated to Robert Harris and Ralph Giordano, for leading the author to AH.
