Of course, we don't need to look to fiction to find stories of heroic resistance against oppression and occupation. A previous glimpse at British life under the Nazis comes in the powerful " It Happened Here", a film that took eight years to complete.Ĭarice van Houten plays a resistance fighter under Nazi occupation in Paul Verhoeven's "Black Book". Interestingly enough, UK broadcaster the BBC passed on producing "High Castle" but has recruited James Bond screenwriters Neal Purvis and Robert Wade to adapt Deighton's novel this year. "SS-GB" is set in Nazi-occupied Britain and sees a British policeman forced to team up with an SS officer to investigate a murder. Another example is the 1978 novel " SS-GB" by Len Deighton, the master of hard-boiled spy fiction who wrote "The Ipcress File" and other books on which the Harry Palmer films were based. "The Man in the High Castle" is not the only book to contemplate how the world might look if World War II ended differently. If you were gripped by the dark and compelling Amazon show, here are our suggestions for other films and TV shows you might enjoy. What if the Nazis had won the war? That's the question posed by "The Man in the High Castle", the powerful drama now streaming on Amazon Video.
