Cool. Sounds like a Harry Turtledove story.
I absolutely love Turtledove’s “The road not taken”

I viewed it as an alternative future/past kind of novel and let it go at that. I did read it a few times, I have to admit.

I absolutely love Turtledove’s “The road not taken” OMG- somebody else that knows about that! I just re-read it; someone put it up on Pastebin. Napoleonic teddy bears. I loved how it challenged the assumption that 'we'll, they have FTL travel, so they must be undefeatable militarily'.

I found Turtledove’s The Man With The Iron Heart to be formulaic and predictable. It was nazis as suicide bombers in ‘46.
