Did anyone but me read a book by him, or even know his name?
Amery was a German author who did some AH. He did three works of this genre:
Das Königsprojekt (The king's project): The Vatican owns a time machine (done by Leonardo da Vinci) and sends its Swiss guards back in time to change some events. They aren't free to do anything, however, like killing Luther - they can only change events that aren't documented, or where the existing documentation can be changed at the same time on the fly. In the book, they try to give the crown of England to the Wittelsbachs (who're also the heirs to the Scottish throne).
Der Untergang der Stadt Passau (The downfall of the city of Passau): After nuclear WW3, some people rebuild a kind of civilization in Passau. Later, the city will be conquered by the more barbarian people of Rosenheim.
An den Feuern der Leyermark (At the fires of the Leyermark): During the Prussian-German war of 1866, a Bavarian official buys some "guns" in North America. What he doesn't know, however, is that said guns aren't just modern repeting guns, but come together with American volunteer fighters. Thus, the Prussians lose, the Rhineland gets independent, and a few years later, when the French-German war is due, the French troops revolt, and France joins the Central European confederation (a kind of early anarchist-syndicalist European Union).
