The Fireflies of Port Stanley Tekijä: Marc Hywel Jones
Great AltHistory, definitely worth a read.
A good alternative history and subject matter that is is rarely covered.
The premise is that the Ministry of Defence in the 1950s sent a few Sherman Firefly tanks off to be scrapped only the order went in the wrong tray thereby sending them to the Falklands.
