Berlin Wall War ver3.0

after disaster with ver 2.0 in this forum, here new attempt

Idea:
R.N.Nixon become 1960 the 35 President of USA instead J.F. Kennedy.
his fierce anti-communism leads in to World War 3 october 1961.

work its senario as a reasion for WW3 ?

the Bay of Pigs Invasion beginns and is a success (with US force support)
this put Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev under heavy internal Political pressure
the US-USSR relationship deteriorated over coming months

President Nixon announces before a special joint session of Congress
his goal to "We shall defeat Communism!"

R.N.Nixon and humiliated Nikita Khrushchev meet during 2 days in Vienna.
They discuss nuclear tests, disarmament, Germany and Cuba question.
the discussions became fierce, after Nixon declared "Cuba was communist outpost to close at US"
Khrushchev roars back "West Berlin Is a US Outpost to close to USSR, we gona change that !!!"

on his return Khrushchev give order for plans to blocade West Berlin.

Construction of the Berlin Wall begins, by order of East Germany chairman Walter Ulbricht
(to stop East Germans from fleeing to west Germany)

R.N.Nixon thinks this Khrushchev answer to remark in Vienna
and the beginn of Sovjet invasion of West Berlin.
Nixon send General Lucius D. Clay with US troops to west Berlin and additional troops to West Germany.
General Clay start a campaign to provoking the Sovjet and East Germans ! (OTL Real Fact)

Warsaw Pact start the second blockade of West Berlin include Airspace.
(to hunger out NATO troops in West Berlin and force them to surrender.)
Khrushchev declare "This is to stop NATO provocation of East Germans"...
..."We guaranteed the NATO Force a save withdrawal to West Germany"

NATO try with airlift to West Berlin, until first C-137 Stratoliner is shoot down by MIGs

Nixon put Khrushchev a Ultmatum
"until 30 Oktober stop of blockade and dismantled of the "Berlin Wall" or NATO will do it!"
(defacto is this a invasion of East Germany by NATO troops.)

If the Bay of Pigs had been a success, Khrushchev would have lost his job in Moscow. Someone more like Stalin would have been put in charge.

West Berlin wasn’t all that much closer to Moscow than the West/East German frontier was. I could see that West Berlin was close enough to communist territory to be a sanctuary, but that’s why the Wall was built. Militarily West Berlin was likely inconsequential.

Warsaw Pact start the second blockade of
West Berlin include Airspace.

The U.S. and U.K. deny Russia access to the Panama and SuezCanals and then blockade the Bosphorus to deny the Reds access to their warm water ports. And we modernize our missiles in Turkey.

West Berlin, until first C-137 Stratoliner is shoot down by MIGs


Are you assuming that the cargo planes wouldn’t have fighter escorts? I don’t think the MIGs could shoot anything down.
Between
Korea and the Middle East the MIGs and/or their pilots are pretty much worthless.
