Rache! — Robert Blumetti

Rache! The Defeat of France 1940 is the first book in an alternative history series entitled The Thousand Year Reich. I wanted to explore the reason why Germany failed to win the war in 1940-41. I realized that while Hitler some good decisions he also made some major mistakes that caused Germany the war. In my timeline, scientists from the future abduct Hitler from September 1939 and implant a micro-computer chip in his frontal lobes to program him not to make the mistakes he does in real time history. In this timeline Germany goes to a total war economy in 1939. Hitler does not delay the advance to the English Channel nor lets the British escape across the channel. Hitler does not cancel the jet fighter project in 1940 and prevents Mussolini from attacking France. These are just a few of the changes that takes place in this alternate history. For Hitler to make such changes I had to create a "different" Hitler from the one that existed.
