      Churchill’s plan called for a massive Allied assault on 1 July 1945 by British, American, Polish and German – yes German – forces against the Red Army. They aimed to push them back out of Soviet-occupied East Germany and Poland, give Stalin and bloody nose, and force him to re-consider his domination of East Europe. Needless to say it was never put into practice.

      That was a hard plan to sell.

      If the nukes had been ready a few months before, maybe they could have been used to threaten Stalin out of Europe but here we are.

      Looking in hindsight, the dictators of USSR/Russia has been a burden for the world since 1945.

      Why the fuck is Frankfurt about 350km north of it’s actual positionnon this map?

      (Its about where Hannover actually is)

      I guess i understand why it was called “Unthinkable” then, even though I’m sure the Soviet Union still had a ton of soldiers

      Biggest mistake the allies made in WWII was not destroying Russia when it was down. Patton was right.

      This plan is nothing short of insaine. Japan was still in the war, the United States is preparing for a massive invasion of the Home Islands and Churchill wants to attack the Red Army?

      This isnt at the end of WW2. This map is for an offensive well after ww2.

      German partition was only formalized in 1949

      Churchill asked the British Army general to come up with and assess this plan. I don’t believe the US was involved in the planning. The US was too busy trying to get men and materiel out of Europe and into the Pacific theatre.

      A better plan would be to invade from the North in the summer and supply camp prisoners with arms.

      USSR had millions of prisoners in the camps, so just freeing them and leading them westwards would have solved the issue faster.

      IF they really wanted to win, they would need to take one of the large rivers in the summer month and then split the trans Siberian railway in TWO !!!

      The only way it would work would be waiting 2 months and utilizing the nukes earmarked for Japan. Japan could wait as Japan was doomed and a few months of respite would not have bought them relief as they were basically starving for food and raw material already. The 2 available nukes might not have been adequate and it might have taken until the next tranche of bombs to be available to conclusively end the war with the Soviets.
