The Saboteur definitely has some Weird War influences (read, Zeppelins, up-armoured, MG toting SS troopers.)

The Saboteur was a blast, I really enjoyed it. :) I've actually already got it on the list.

Fatherland was a made for TV movie, here in the states, that took place in the 1960's, in a victorious Third Reich.

Occult & SF fiction:

( Both OOP. I haven't read either, but they've been on my list for a long time.)

Panzer Spirit & Reichbahn Six-Nine by Tom Townsend

Panzer Spirit:
When a long-dormant Nazi tank destroyer comes inexplicably to life and goes on its own bloody blitzkrieg, veteran tanker Jim Fafner may be the only man who can face down the otherworldly intelligence that pilots the haunted Jagdpanther.


Reichbahn Six-Nine:
The story of a German military train of the same name that is discovered at the bottom of a Bavarian lake during the present day. It contains World War II-vintage German gold coins and bullion, along with the discovered bodies of a dozen high-ranking SS officers never found at the end of the war. A modern M-16 is clutched in the hands of one of the well-preserved German officers.

Protagonist Beau Mitchell, a rowdy but likeable Texas salvage diver, along with his brillant but fantasy-driven girlfriend Sherri Vail, team up with Werner Katz and James Fafner (German and American museum curators) to raise the train from the lake and share the gold. They get more than they bargained for as the German soldiers awaken from their time-travel suspension made possible by stolen plans of the failed World War II U.S. Philadelphia project that was refined by German scientists during the war. Once revived in present day, the SS officers plan to take 1990's technology, weaponry, and history back to the 1944 era and use this newly acquired knowledge to defeat the allied forces.

The long awaited sequel to Panzer Spirit.

Both of those sound like crazy fun, just added them to my Amazon.com cart, haha.

Also I just updated the list again with some recent acquisitions, and I reformatted it a bit - I eliminated the "E-books" section, but I took all those books and filed them under their appropriate categories with an asterisk. * means it only exists in E-book format, ** means it exists in both print and E-book and I happen to own the E-book (since the E-book was much less expensive).

Updated the list with a bunch of new stuff, re-organized it a bit and separated "conspiracy theory" stuff out from "alternate history". Originally they were combined because I didn't feel they really needed separate categories, but I've found enough of each to make them separate.

There is a section in X-Men, where Electro discovers his powers whilst being dragged towards the camp gates.

If I remember right Turtledove has also been doing an alternate-history WWII book series called "The War That Came Early" as well. The premise is pretty much right there in the title.  ;)

Wasn't it Magneto being dragged away from the gates? ;)
