We could have lost the war in Europe if the Nazis had enough time to use a number of super weapons in existence in 1944. Invasion fails due to weather conditions. In this "what if" the failure allows them to unleash the super weapons. Victory doubtful.
At every stage of the war with Germany we were up against far superior weapons mass produced by a country whose sole purpose was war. All of the top scientists in Germany were devoting their efforts to finding more efficient ways to kill people. It was an advantage the Nazis depended on to defeat the Allied armies who outnumbered them. As a German general put it, “ this war is run on machines, oil and gasoline.”In this novel the June 1944 Normandy invasion fails as an early summer giant storm hits the English Channel like a fist. The gigantic invasion armada is past the point of no return and must go for the landing. An attempt to return to England would be even more disastrous. Only two days before the armada had been half way across the channel and needed to be recalled because of weather. This June 6 attempt is based on a gamble that an approaching storm wouldn't arrive for another 36 hours. This educated guess is made without the electronic equipment available today. Only charts created from sighted information aided the meteorologists. The decision to launch the invasion was made despite the treacherous history of the English Channel for sudden unpredictible changes.In this story the storm arrives just as the invasion fleet is nearing the Normandy beaches.
