<Subtitle: South Pacific. 1945>
An B-29 is on its final approach to an airstrip.
Aged Narrator: I remember that balmy morning. Some lucky hotshots managed to get selected for a special mission.
One of the B-29's engines begin to catch fire.
Unfortunately, they didn't wait too long to get booted.
The B-29 crashes upon landing. A brief glimpse of the stenciled words "Enola Gay" is seen before these are covered in flames.
We had no idea we were the ones to do it.
<Cut to a makeshift briefing room>
Colonel: Gentlemen, in a week's time, you will deliver this payload to this location:
Map zooms in on Hiroshima.

I want to watch Churchill's War. Right now!
Agreed. It made me think about this thread.
I'd give it a shot had I read Red Dawn. I think basically you'd see the USA flag being torn and replaced by one which is definitely Communist red. Then see President X shaking hands with Stalin. Finally you see a piece of paper, one by one you see a hand writing a signature on it, in no real order. They are clear and you can read them (leaders of European countries). It zooms out from the paper when the feather is laid by a hand upon it, and rotates around the room from the middle. It's dark, and behind each leader is a flag of their country. Obviously noticeable is Hitler.
Then it'll zoom out, showing a map of the world, black letters come up saying Axis Powers. Black letters say Britain (Britain gets coloured Red), Germany (Germany gets coloured red), France, Italy. Then it fastforwards, and black colours in all the Axis Powers. It does the same for the Allies. Then it zooms in on the Russian/Europe border, showing European men charging across land, backed with tanks to the sound of gunfire etc.
Flashes out and zooms in on Canadian border, showing USA planes flying over into Canada bombing somewhere there's a Canadian flag.
Finally zooms in off the coast of the Japan, showing IJN against the USN, bombing it out.

Man : They said the new conflict would end
<American bombers flying over Moscow, with the Kremlin in site>
Man : But no one could have predicted what happened next
<A doctor is rushing an injured soldier to an operating room>
Man : It started to spread quickly and within days, most of Central Europe was infected
<The Effie Tower is burning while on the streets of Paris, soldiers try franticly to stop the infected >
Man : But it was no use. By August, most of Europe was infected and the deceases started to spread East and West infecting all
<People panicking in New York City, cut to people in India rushing towards ships guarded by the British Colonial army>
Man : Now there’s nothing left…
<See a hanged body revealed to be Stalin. As the camera zooms, the head looks up and his eyes stare>

Yeah, have read that. Robinson's short story, right? Good old Capt. January...

BUSH: What's happened?
ADVISOR: I don't know.
[Flash cut. The White House is burning, the Washington Monument is toppled. Soldiers are fighting throughout Washington D.C. We pan around the battlefield, and see Russian soldiers fighting Americans. Planes are fighting in the fly.]
[Flash cut. A UCAV is flying by over the desert, looking like a Predator, but with the Rising Sun symbol on its wings.]
NARRATOR V/O: This fall...the Empire returns...
[Cut. We see an aircraft carrier, dozens of planes with Rising Sun symbols on their wings. There are other carriers, as the camera pans out and lets us see the whole fleet, dozens of ships.]
NARRATOR V/O: Just when you thought you were safe...war comes to America.
[Images flash by. Paratroopers descending by the statue of liberty, an American city burning to the ground, dozens of American soldiers fallen by the Lincoln Memorial, fighters engaging each other in the sky, a nuclear explosion. Fade to black.]

R-RATED FOR VIOLENCE
OK, here's my first try (I'm not guaranteeing it will be good though) :
----
black and white historical footage, quickly showcasing the events of World War One from the Sarajevo assasination up till the October Revolution
a tired and raspy voice with an American accent narrates (in a mildly sarcastic tone)
"This delightful and cheery war started in July 1914. The Great War. The War To End All Wars, as many had hoped. But we know better these days - they were wrong. It is now late February 1964 and believe it or not...
quick fade to black, sudden cut, the sound of hundreds of gun shots, roar of machine gun salvos, deafening boom of gigantic artillery, frantic montage of heavily fortified frontlines fought over by thousands of tired, badly wounded and unstrung soldiers
...the war is still being waged..."
fade to black, ominous Latin and Orthodox Russian chanting in the background, letters pop up in the middle of the screen : early 1918
we see Red Square in Moscow filled with tens of thousands of people, a platform with a row of gallows on it, from each noose hangs a high-ranking member of the Bolsheviks and Tsarist loyalists
we get a closer glimpse at an elevated rostrum next to the gallows, with a strangely dressed man standing atop of it
"People of Mother Russia, the sanctuary of the most beloved Orthodox Church and true Slavic spirit !
quick montage of the bloody battles of the Russian Civil War, then flashbacks of the violent exploits of an odd-acting young officer, we see him fight in the Carpathians, Urals, near Lake Baikal and finally in the steppes of Mongolia
I offer you a new future ! A future filled with glory, prosperity and power !
the officer and his tiny army violently conquering Ullanbatar, breaking all existing resistance and recruiting new followers for their uknown cause
A future more glorious than even all the Tsars and Khans could have dreamed of !
burning villages, the subjugation of Siberian, Mongolian and central Asian tribesmen, their oath of fielty to the mysterious officer, the assasination of the Mongolian ruler, the officer crowned a new Khan
pogroms on supporters of both the Reds and Whites, burning cities, monasteries and military garrisons, survivors bowing to the insane officer and his rag-tag army of modern barbarian raiders
I offer you me - baron Roman Nickolai von Ungern-Sternberg..."
the crowd errupts into near-fanatical cries of "All hail Sternberg !", the baron's macabre flags containing a fusion of a dharmacakra, Orthodox cross and a splintered skull with the letter U fly above the Kremlin and the surroundings
we get a close-up of Sternberg, a pleased grin appears on his face, his facial expressions showing clear signs of surpressed madness
sudden cut, the letters 1964, the racket of the frontline again
heavy breathing, a soldier slowly peaks over the top of the trench, turns around a little and shouts something (in a British accent), off screen gunshot, the soldier's body rolls down into the trench, with a visible hole on his forehead
we see a quick shot of his arm patch, with the letters USWE somewhat obscured by mud
unpleasantly surprised French, German, British and American accented voices are heard in the background
cut to a soldier on the other side of the frontline, holding an antique-looking sniper rifle with some more modern elements and a laser target designator attached to the scope
he chuckles and exclaims in Russian :
"Tvoyu matz..."
suddenly, we hear a loud buzzing sound getting closer, the soldier becomes nervous, starts fleeing through the half-collapsed trench and waving to German speaking soldiers in the distance
we hear gatling gun volleys behind his back, he accidentally trips and falls into mud, then slowly turns around and gazes onto an incoming missile deployed by a bulky and archaic-looking attack helicopter
fade to black, loud explosion
sudden cut, the screen of a malfunctioning TV showing some propaganda-style news
"...and as you can see, our brave lads have once again managed to hold the Russo-Mongolian scum at bay.
an attractive female news anchorman appears, pointing her finger at the viewer
Don't forget, you too can volunteer and help defend the European Frontline, help defend the United States of Western Europe, help defend civilization from the horde of barbarian locusts from the east !
the image on the screen cuts to some financial and stock exchange news
In other news, the success of the current offensive has proven vital to the economy..."
the screen goes fuzzy, her voice and the entire screen fade away to black, with sounds of a WWI-like battlefield dimly echoing in the distance
the following letters appear on screen :

Bush: It was a matter of national security and we had to prevent panic. I admit we made some mistakes, but I have no regrets of the blackout of the media. It was in the American people’s best interest to keep them from a nightmare from Communism, and now its taken hold of our country.
If the Chinese had told us what was happening instead of hiding behind a cloud of threats we could have stopped it there and then. Look what happened when Israel told the world of ‘walking corpses’. What do you think would have happened to us if we did it?

We battled with the Soviets for five years and then I’m fighting beside them against a common enemy.

Putin: Before 1985 the only place you and I could have met would be prison downstairs. Now I’m talking to a reporter, something I never imagined, no offense but the camera makes me nervous.
Interviewer (off camera): There were reports that the KGB knew.
Putin: I cannot answer that question. I was a mid-ranking officer in Dresden in East Germany drinking my heart out each week at the pub, all I heard were rumors of something happening in China. Nothing more, no bio-experiments, no great threat, just political unrest and the Chinese are famous for that.
[Scene dissolves into static, screen glitches back into 1980’s video style broadcasts]
[Montage. A line of Soviet tanks with Soviet troops and Afghan Mujahideen on top looking carefully around, a sign to the side says, presumably 'Welcome to Iran' and the Iranian flag beneath the worlds. A long line of men in blue coats and hoods with ancient looking rifles slung over their shoulders marching. Waves of Indian civilians heading to the sea.]

Just a random idea I got. And no, the film is not being released in '34, that's just a reference to the year the war started.

Ooooh... I like, since I have World War Z
Has someone done this timeline, then?
Someone tried, but never got round to it just made outlines.
OK. So the basic idea is World War Z happens in the mid-80s. Still with 'Patient Zero' in China somewhere?
I assume the US would have even more trouble than in the novel. Army & Air Force still mostly geared towards fighting Soviet tank armies, not what you want for a zombie invasion.
