Yup, I've read the World War series by Turtledove. Not exactly a thrilling read, but it certainly had some fun and interesting ideas. I thought about reading the second series but just couldn't be bothered since I found his writing a bit bland.
Not sure if this counts as alternate history so much as alternate reality, but Glenn Cook's Instrumentalities of the Night is kind of cool. It's essentially an alternate medieval setting where the world actually has some magical elements.
He does a pretty good job of detailing a lot of similar history with a different twist, including entirely different names for real-world equivalent regions and what-not. Plus it includes Glenn Cook's usual fun kind of writing style. I also really liked his approach with magic in the setting, establishing it in a fairly non-typical way from what you'd see in most fantasy settings.
