1945

description 1945 Overview

1945 is a 1995 alternate-history novel by Newt Gingrich and William R. Forstchen. Its point of divergence is set around the attack on Pearl Harbor: Hitler is incapacitated in a plane crash and Germany does not declare war on the United States, leaving the United States to fight Japan while Nazi Germany forces a truce with the Soviet Union. The resulting postwar rivalry between the United States and Germany forms the novel's military and political setting.
