SS-GB is an alternate history novel by Len Deighton, set in a United Kingdom fictionally conquered and partially occupied by Germany during World War II. The novel's title refers to the branch of the Nazi SS that controls Britain.
It is November 1941, nine months after the British surrender. Douglas Archer is a British homicide detective assigned to Scotland Yard. He is torn between loyalty to his country and his professional commitment to law enforcement. He begins investigating what seems to be a typical murder case in London, but which finally involves him in the highest levels of the Nazi occupation government.
Gavriel David Rosenfeld, a lecturer in history at the University of California, Los Angeles, cited SS-GB in his book The World Hitler Never Made.
