A review by roba
SS-GB by Len Deighton
3.0
An entertaining 'what if?', made all the more so by the impossibility of picturing the main Nazi characters as anyone other than Colonel Von Strohm and Herr Flick from 'Allo, 'Allo.
Deighton is good on the 'occupied London' mood; he should never have been allowed to attempt 'poignant' or 'sexy', however.
It's a bit disappointing that the plot ends up hinging on complex rivalries between different parts of the German administration, rather than on a King with an atom bomb up his ass, which would have been more exciting/equally plausible.
Would make a good board game.
