The Gothengau Colony

UNIQUE ALTERNATIVE HISTORICAL WW2 FICTION FOR FANS OF GAMES SUCH AS CASTLE WOLFENSTEIN, BOOKS SUCH AS THE YIDDISH POLICEMAN'S UNION & TV SHOWS SUCH AS FATHERLAND & THE MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE!

When saving a life in 1946 Alabama, Amish giant Konrad took one in return and must run before the electric chair claims him. In New York, Nazi propaganda fools him into jumping on a ship to Berlin, capital of the Third Reich. In 1965, at Gothengau, an SS-run colony in Ukraine, a terrorist rocket attack on Berlin compels soldier-farmer Konrad to focus on his duty: commanding an SS convict battalion. He must flex his muscle for the armed forces or the Holocaust's perpetrators - his superiors, colleagues, and neighbours in Ukraine. Survival means playing both sides, but will the fellow German-Americans he arrived with 20 years earlier join him in his fight and in the process, trigger the dawn of a Fourth Reich? 

Unlike other well-known WW2 alternate-history novels, this timeline plays out in different locations and from different vantage points. Rather than a “what if the UK and/or US lost the war” story set in a Nazi-occupied nation, this story has an entirely different arc: what if there was no war with the UK, US was neutral, and the Third Reich was able to carry out its ambition to clear out populations across Eastern Europe and install legions of soldier-farmers to create a new food source to support further expansion by the Nazis - with complicit help from Britain’s King Edward VIII, whose sympathies towards Hitler and Nazi Germany are well known, and who in this timeline did not abdicate for the love of Mrs. Simpson, but rather, married the real-life German Princess Barbara of Prussia. The novel was mathematically designed by W F Logan using graph theory for action-packed excitement and thoroughly researched for a close alignment with reality.
