The WW2 scenario where the US doesn't get involved in Europe would more logically end up with a western armistice with much of France, Italy, and other assorted parts of Europe in German hands, with large parts of eastern Europe controlled by Russia.
The peace would be forced on Germany by Russia.

The Luther scenerio was promoted by the movable type printing press. Printers were always looking for things to print, that would sell. A church contraversey was just the ticket for sales. Without the printing press, Luther's bitching would be a footnote in church history.

David Drakes' "Belsarius" series is a real blend of alternate history and science fiction and a fun read.
