Did a great alt-history book about the nazis winning the war too (SS-GB I think?)

The Beeb dramatised SS-GB just a few years ago.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

SS-GB was a great book.

First British woman to win an Olympic gold in track and field too.

 

[leedswolf]

Yes, I can still remember those grainy B&W images on the TV showing her at the Tokyo Games.

Her team and room mate Ann Packer won the the 800m a few days later. If my memory serves me correctly she was the mum of the Brightwell’s that played for Man City in the 90’s.
