Hello TR,

If publishers think Turtledove's works won't sell in Germany (and Austria and Switzerland as well), they're very probably wrong. Especially the works dealing with an alternative Germany WILL sell, with a little promotion. Of course, a capable translator is important, too. The books mainly playing in an alternative America should not be translated first, though, but then there are so many others. I had to check Wikipedia quite a bit when I read the American Empire series; incidentally, that's how I discovered turtledove.wikia :-)

Have a great day. Greets from warm and sunny Germany (we had no winter to speak of, and this is the warmest March ever, but then maybe we're in another timeline from the USA ;-) )
