Who is Winston Churchill?
Such a shame. Over here in the US, bestselling author S M Stirling has written "the Gathering Storm" a series of novels where Churchill lives.
Good reads, but i wonder whether it is so accurate to have Communism last so long after a devastating war. Heck, All this and there is still a president Reagan?
Well, Winston Churchill died in 1931 in NYC (I'm currently at the place where he was hit). Many say he would have had a reat impact had he lived. OTOH, there was gallipoli to think about.
What would you think?
Yeah like most of Stirlings work it's pretty improbable that even Churchill would invade Eastern Europe after WW2.
I mean who knows what would have happened if the Britis stayed in the War, Stalin might not have prepared for Barbarossa I mean its unlikely he'd be so stupid but reports from whilst Britain was still in the war seemed to indicate that he was ignored German build up's.
But for Stalin, it was too little, too late. With Germany directing its full resources towards crushing the communists rather than fighting a two front war, there was not much that could be done.
Yeah, the fact Germans managed to reach the outskirts of Kiev by Winter proved this.
Still at least he hadnt completely ignored it the Germans might have even taken Moscow if this was the case.
Unfortunately, they did by February 1942.
Had Churchill lived, Hitler would have been stretched too thin forcing him to retreat. Who kows, the Soviets wouldn't have suffered a crushing defeat.
Yeah but at least Stalin had some preparedness.
