I don't own Doctor Who, or SS-GB.

Sometime Never…
By TimeTraveller-1900.
Spitfires and Hurricanes were losing against the Luftwaffe despite their determination to keep the Germans out. But the Messerschmitts are too many, and the RAF's casualties are mounting while they are scarcely making any kind of dent, even as they fight with all of their might. Each German plane shot down is a victory, but it's as bitter tasting as ashes in the mouth….
A group of British armed forces, free and prepared to liberate their country with the right plans…..
The Panzer divisions were moving across London Bridge….
SS troops were marching in smart formations through the city of London while the Londoners looked on in utter hopeless despair at the symbol of their loss; the Germans had won….
Banners as red as scarlet roses with the Swastika were hung from buildings….
SS troopers were beating up anyone they wish…
Resistance fighters trying to make a dent to free their country…..
Winston Churchill, the brilliant mind who had known the type of world Adolf Hitler wanted to create in his tyranny, is executed. After days spent inside a prison, Churchill emerges into the daylight, limping on his stick, his features grey despite the vivid bruises he's received at the hands of the thuggish SS troops guarding him, and his trademark suit wrinkled and grimy. But Winston is still determined to be defiant. Before his death, Churchill makes a V sign of victory….
The King of Britain is locked up in the Tower….
History has been moved to a new path.

When he had left the trial and arrived on Earth, the Doctor had decided to gently change history, although he wouldn't actively try to change events simply because he thought it was better. Those were things he had realised he could never, ever do, even when he had been angry with the Time Lords. The Battle of Britain was an important time in Earth's history, and it was one of the most fixed events in the planet's timeline. The Doctor had no intention of meddling in that.
The Battle was a nexus in the war. The outcome could swing either way; in one timeline, the British would win and would be able to continue fighting after proving the Luftwaffe and Hitler by association were not invincible. The timeline would unfold accordingly, and Hitler would end up killing himself in the bunker. That was the real history that had unfolded and the one the Doctor knew the best. But at the same time, he knew the future was always in motion, and while it was sometimes best not to meddle or interfere, sometimes it was good to make sure.
In another, the Luftwaffe would win and the British would lose, and the timeline would show a victory of the Axis powers, and there would be dozens of outcomes.
Meddling in a fixed point was never a good idea, and the Doctor had no intention of touching it, but that did not mean that he could not ensure Britain was better off by manipulating the timelines; the Time Lords would always intervene to make sure fixed events would never be changed, but they knew the future was always in motion besides the fixed events in later epochs, but the timelines were constantly changing because of the actions of people living in the past, so they turned a blind eye to, but they would interfere if a time traveller, or a Time Lord, meddled in history in a way that went against the Web of Time. That gave the Doctor a bit of leeway.
The Battle of Britain would not take place for another few years, giving the Doctor the time he needed. Meeting with Winston Churchill in 1939, the Doctor told his old friend he was going to help him, and he began by showing Churchill what he had seen in the TARDIS of the alternative timeline where the Nazis overran the RAF and they broke through and invaded and occupied the country.
Once he had finished highlighting the seriousness of the potential timeline, the Doctor worked with Churchill by giving him the design plans of a primitive but effective electromagnetic forcefield which could be built using contemporary technologies. Churchill's people built them and tested them before the Battle of Britain, with the power of the forcefields the bullets were caught by the field and they were repelled to destroy the Luftwaffe's aircraft.
But the Doctor had known that would not have been enough. He gave them the same type of blaster the Daleks used. Between the electromagnetic forcefields which held the bullets and bombs in place and sent them back to the planes that fired them and the Dalek-type blasters which inflicted more damage than the Germans could ever inflict, the RAF made sure the Luftwaffe could not stand a chance.
Once the battle was over, the Doctor wondered if he should take the technology away, or if he should let Churchill keep it as a better guarantee of their victory.
However, his plans for the Second World War were not finished.
The Doctor provided some help for Churchill and the others, but he encountered Professor Bernard Quatermass before the war even began, and hypnotised him to begin research into constructing war rockets. It wasn't until 1944, after the Germans bombed London and other parts of the country, that the British would respond in kind. Rocket-carrying aircraft were launched. Their targets included railway lines and bridges in occupied countries leading all the way into Germany. U-Boat pens were fired into the individual pens which destroyed either torpedoes and oil tanks, or the submarines themselves.
The real target, however, was Germany itself.
Large amounts of damage levelled the Germans' biggest cities, softening them up for the inevitable march of history itself.
