Great Britain v. Soviet Union all out total war 1946.
Interested as I am in the recent report about how we would come off in a non nuclear conflict with Russia today, I want to pose this question.
How would Britain have come out against Stalin's Soviet Forces in 1946 if the new iron curtain was breached with an all out attack from Russia?
Indulge me as I set out my scenario.
1. Attlee Government. No nuclear capability on either side.
2. We haven't de-mobbed, and the 3 forces generally are at May 1945 strength.
3. We are financially broke and America hasn't yet backed us in the actual fighting, they are keeping out (but happy to supply us with military aid-at a price).They offer no such aid to Russia.
4. Soviets have struck first with multiple armoured thrusts across Northern Europe with a apparent push to the ports of N Germany, Holland and Belgium.
Indulge me.What would have happened, who would have "won"?
