There was an online "fanfic" rewrite of the Draka-series years ago by a bunch of milspergs to make the series more realistic. It had the Draka get bogged down in horrific Eastern Front style meatgrinders with the USSR and eventually ended with massed nuclear raids on the Domination's heartland by the USAAF. If I remember right, Stirling found out about it and got kinda pissy.

Edit: Found it

If I remember right it was mostly some complaints that they just didn't "get" the point of the series, which I guess was just to make the most horrifying dystopia he could think of and plausibility be damned.
