Operation Unthinkable (Allies attack USSR in 1945).
A bit of modern Propaganda and some 'what if' reading for you:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/ar...rn-Europe.html http://howitreallywas.typepad.com/ho...thinkable.html The top 2 links, some trashy synopsies. http://www.history.neu.edu/PRO2/ The last link, original docs. Make of it what you will. Interesting points brought up and some scenario discussions forthcoming i hope. |

This has been known for years. Is it really news now?
I recall there was an extensive debate about this scenario on this very forum a couple of years ago...

Operation Unthinkable. From the man who brought you the Gallipoli Campaign. As difficult and galling as it was to see Stalin's reign extended over half of Europe it probably was the price to be paid for having the Soviets doing the lion's share of the land fighting and the killing of German soldiers in 1941-43. Discussions have been done ad nauseum on this board of the WW2 "extended game version", but nobody really knows how events would have turned out. Giving that the Iron Curtain eventually fell without the impetus of a major conflict I'm not sure one can argue that events didn't turn out reasonably well the way they did.
