Query: Good attempt could have been so much better though

I'll have to start out by agreeing with the other reviewer who noted that the research on this book was lacking. There are parts in this book where it appears the author just randomly grabbed names from history books. As to the proofreading, when using a foreign language in a book learn at least the phrase you're going to use. His German looked like he used literal translation for everything (ex noone would ever say "kommen und sehen").The story itself was okay from the pure fiction standpoint (it bombs as an attempt at alternate historical fiction). And in no way approaches the calliber of say Turtledove.
