The Man in the High Castle by Phillip K Dick is a good one

It's not an alternative history where the Nazis won, but you might be interested in The Separation by Christopher Priest (author of The Prestige) in which the Nazis signed a peace treaty with the allies.

SS-GB by Len Deighton. He's a good war, thriller and espionage writer. The story takes place in Britain with a resistance movement trying to tackle the Nazis after the occupation.

Dominion by C J Sansom is another one.

Fatherland by Robert Harris is excellent. The Nazis have "won" the Second World War. The point of divergence from history appears to be that Reinhard Heydrich survived his assassination in the Czech Republic. After that, the Nazis succeed in Russia, but are now engaged in an endless forever-war with Russian guerillas and partisans. The new Cold War is between the Greater German Reich that extends across Eurasia and the United States.

It is an excellent novel and well worth a read.

OP has read it.

If going down a SciFi vein, the works of Harry Turtledove. The one I'd recommend is"In the presence of mine enemies" - the storyline is that it is ~ 1990, the Nazis dominate Europe after their victory and the main characters are a hidden family of Jews that managed to survive in Berlin.

I like Dominion by CS Samson.
Basically, instead of declaring war on Germany after the invasion of Poland, Britain capitulates. The book is set in an imaginary 1952. Very interesing take.

Whoops....

That's what I get for replying without reading the OP properly...

I just bought Farewell Leicester Square by John Kilkade. Cheap (£0.77) but looks like a good WWII read.

Was going to recommend that. Many years since I read it, but was good from what I remember. If you're "into" Nazis then Deightons masterpiece is a novel called Winter. The story of the rise of the Nazis told through the tale of two brothers in Berlin. I'd highly recommend it.

I read a trilogy a few years back titled 'Axis of Time', in which a 2021 battle fleet get transported back to 1942 with obvious effects on WWII. The first of the three, 'Weapons of Choice', would probably be the best, but still an interesting read once you get past the whole time travel thing.

I didn't like it. Thought it was quite
dull.
Maybe the good reviews made me expect better.
