Operation Unthinkable (Allies attack USSR in 1945).

Monty would have thought it would have worked...but only if we could get every other nation in the world to join with us so we'd outnumber them 17:1.

Patton couldn't stand the Russians so that doesn't surprise me though.

For you guys that like this subject I strongly recommend When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler by David M. Glantz and Why the Allies Won by Richard Overy.

After reading those books I´m firmly convinced that the name Unthinkable was most adequate.

Yeah, and then they'd just need to ask the Soviets to hold on a bit for two or three years while he works out exactly where each man should be standing and what he would hold at any given time during the campaign.

Plus they would all have to drop their socks and grab it on a precise timetable otherwise the whole plan = fail.

I assume that 16 of those 17 would be Chinese?
