The article explores the hypothetical scenario of "Operation Unthinkable," a secret plan devised by Winston Churchill in 1945 to forcibly remove the Soviet Union from Eastern Europe. The plan involved a military push into East Germany and Poland, similar to Hitler's Operation Barbarossa. However, the plan was never put into action, and the article examines the potential outcomes if it had been. The author suggests that such an operation would have likely resulted in a third world war, fundamentally altering the nature of the Cold War and potentially prolonging the war in the Pacific. The article concludes that the practicalities of the plan were impossible, and Churchill never had the ability to implement it. [Extracted from the article] |
