*** Warning do not read “Book Three – The Red White & Blue†unless you have read Book One and Book Two of my World War Three 1946 series. You will miss many exciting and surprising twists and turns. ***
The “The Red White & Blue†is written from the Western perspective. Unlike the first two volumes in the series, most of the protagonists are of American and British origin.
America and the West have demobilized the bulk of their armed forces in Europe by the spring of 1946. Taking advantage of the West's military weakness, Stalin attacks Western Europe in May, 1942. By October 1946, Stalin has conquered most of Europe and is poised to complete achieve world dominance by winning the Second Battle of Britain, breaking the Pyrenees Line and marching on the Straights of Gibraltar.
America has finally taken the threat to its national sovereignty seriously and begins to rearm. The US is poised to once again become the arsenal of democracy. America’s former service men enter the frontlines in massive numbers. The citizen soldiers of democracy will attempt the impossible…the retaking of Europe. The dire situation has finally motivated American industry and the civilian population to bring freedom to our European cousins for the second time in less than two years.
The Pentagon has formulated a complex plan based of the "island hopping" campaign used to win World War Two in the Pacific. Using the vast expanses of the Russian Steppes and the personal foibles of the Soviet leadership, the US hopes to defeat the largest, most powerful army ever amassed. Along with exiles and remnants of various armies, the US will try to draw the Red Army ever farther from its base of supply, extending its logistics tail from hundreds to thousands of miles.
The leadership of the NATO Allies includes the men who defeated the Axis Powers, along with young, creative junior officers. Will the skills acquired in the last war and contributions of a new generation be the right combination to win against an even more powerful enemy?
The Allies won World War Two by depriving the Axis of oil. Oil is needed to supply and train your troops, and pilots. Oil powers weapons of war and is essential to supporting a civilian population. In the last war, the Allies attacked their enemies’ training grounds, means of production and civilian infrastructure. The Axis was unable to protect their resources. America, on the other hand, enjoyed the advantages of a steady oil supply, freedom from attack, and the capacity to supply allies with the weapons and oil to wage a modern war.
The vastness of the Soviet Empire and Eurasia dwarfs North America with resources that rival our own. Brute force will not win this war against a society who understand such force and live with it every day. The Soviets are an enemy that the west will have to outwit.
Fighting a war using the strategy and tactics of the last war will lead to defeat. New and innovative weapons systems and thinking are called for. Will the Joint Chiefs of Staff accept novel strategies and embrace new technologies such as guided missiles, nuclear bombs, jet aircraft and undetectable mini-subs?
The future of western civilization depends upon defeating the worst mass murderer in human history in the personage of Joseph Stalin. Stalinism has proven to be a scourge on human kind and it must be eradicated at all costs, and the costs will be high.
With the right strategy and tactics the leaders of the west believe the cost will not be exorbitantly prohibitive. Let’s watch as they put their theories into practice.
