Outrageous timeline.
Barbarossa plans are changed, Hitler agrees that the offensive toward Moscow shall continue but operation to seize Leningrad is canceled, caucasian oilfields are judged to be more important. It is decided only a token operation is launched against Leningrad.
Wehrmacht enter Moscow without much of a fight but inside the city itself, faces extensive urban warfare.
Noticing major reinforcements enters the city, it is decided that Moscow shall be encircled, it is done but prooves to be difficult and time-costly.
Once the city is surrounded, invasion of it is resumed.
German encirclement of the city is weak hovewer, does not expect an offensive by temperatures approching -25.
Red Army offensive cuts-off the invaders in the second phase of the Moscow battle, even as the Germans where near victory despite heavly losses. Despite Hitler´s protests, the axis forces retreats from around Moscow to the parts of the city they hold.
The axis forces also entered the caucase, first moves toward the Volga and once Stalingrad and Astrakhan are secured, moves south.
It is believed that the capture of Kiev, which had already been evacuated in the 2 months before, in December 41 will be enough to prevent that force from being cut-off.
Red Army offensive is still able to cut-off much of army group south in 41-42 winter, axis counter-offensive is stopped short of Rostov.
No breakthrough is attempted, as Wehrmacht forces would have to abandonne much of their equippement and the army group south relief offensive have mostly failed.
Only in February 42 is an offensive to relieve the Moscow pocket engaged, it is a failure. By spring 1942, axis forces in Moscow and the caucase have surrendered, Roosevelt and Churchill declares their unconditional surrender policies.
Both Minsk and Kiev seems threatened with the defeats of army group center and south, attack is expected there.
Stalin´s target prooves to be Army Group North, a massive offensive in summer 42 is able to breakthough into the Baltics, encircles a large amount of forces south of Leningrad.
The Wehrmacht launch a hastily prepared counter-offensive to defeat the Red Army but still recovering from the Moscovite and caucasian disasters, is defeated.
After this battle, Soviet advantage have grown even further, while axis forces are reduced to being on the defensive.
Before the end of the year, battles of Minsk and Kiev occures. This time, the Wehrmacht retreats but doing so in winter times prooves difficult and they abandonne much equippement, faces major disorganisation.
By December 42, Soviet probing forces even reaches Romania and the first major Red Airforce raid is launched, against the Ploesti oilfields.
In early 1943, Hitler faces an assassination attempt, it fails and the conspirators are discovered, put to trial and shot. Hitler´s distruste of the military increases somewhat.
Spring 1943, axis production begin to reach a very high level but the axis armies are still disorganised by the massive numbers of new draftees and the loss of much of its best elements in spring-autumn 42.
Stalin takes a calculated risk to launch a renewed offensive against the axis, comitte as much forces as possible in defeating the remants of army group south and enter Romania.
The Romanian gov, already embittered and afraid by the previous year´s defeats, decides to turn on the Germans. The Bulgarians where ready to follow such a move, Sofia declares war to Berlin after some negociations.
Situation in Yugoslavia and Greece worsen considerably, with the occupation forces being considerably oustretched. Loss of Ploesti oilfields is a crippling blow to the axis, while equippement can be replaced it now suffer a catastrophic shortage of fuel.
In the course of summer 43, axis retreates to Germany, Poland and Hungarya, focus also on defending Italy.
Meanwhile the Red Army secures Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Albania and Greece.
Invasion of Normandie begin, with lack of troops it is initally sucessfull but Hitler understand it is an invasion and send all forces available to defeat the anglo-yankees. Within 10 days, the landing forces are in deep troubles.
Roosevelt decides to cover US retreat with chemical weapons, Churchill decide to extend chemical warfare to Germany, since the Germans are hard pressed to defend their cities with their fuel shortage. Hitler is angered by the massive chemical attacks and order retaliation on cities in southern england.
While both sides exaust their reserves of posion gas, the 3rd Reich sign an armistice with the Soviet-Union, handing over the General Governement of Poland, Slovakia, Narvik and northern Yugoslavia.
Red Army prepares its own chemical warfare and offensive in these countries.
Stalin decides to open a further way into the Mediterranean with the invasion of Turkey and send reserves to Vladivostock, promising a coming intervention against Japan to the US and UK.
In latter 43, the allies decides to invade through Spain , expending vaste quantities of chemical weaponery on both military and strategical (civilian) targets.
Since the chemical escalation, Franco had begun preparations for allied chemical attacks and axis reinforcemenst are able to move quickly.
This time, the allies secures a foothold but advancing further prooves difficult.
In spring 44, the Red Army attacks Mandchuko and Korea, this time uses large quantities of chemical weaponery.
By summer 1944, armistice is signed with Japan, Japan would eventually surrender to be divided in 3 occupation zones. Mao is in Peking.
In spring 1945, the Red Army launch its great offensive west, by summer Hungarya, Northern Italy had been seized. Inside Germany itself, quick progress to Vienna, Prague, Hamburg and Berlin.
Occupation of France collapses in summer in the face of revolts, allies intervenes immediately, axis forces retreats from Spain.
Reduced to the Rhineland, southern Norway and a zone around Munich, the axis forces surrenders on September 2nd.
Churchill and Truman wheren´t too happy about the situation, they demanded Red Army retreat from Holland, Danemark, northern Norway and partial retreat from northern Italy but Stalin insisted on the occupation of Germany all the way to the Rhineland.
Mao Zedong had launched an offensive against the Chinese nationalists.
Then, Stalin´s intelligence received news of one
Operation Unthinkable, set to start in early spring 1946, which made him consider his own plans. Churchill on the other hand had come up with a good addition to this plan, one Stalin did absolutely not suspect.
In early 1946, it was discovered that a highly secrete cargo was brought to Oslo, which in turn to a major US airbase in the outskirts of that city where a large bomber force had been gathered.
One morning in early spring 1946, paratroopers would land on that airfield, southern Norway itself would come under surprise attack much as what had happened 6 years earlier.
A major offensive began on the western front, taking Truman and Roosevelt by surprise.
Within weeks, the battle was won, millions had been made prisonniers. The Red Army then advanced into Holland, Belgium, France.
From northern Japan, major attack was launched southward, rapidly reaching Tokyo harbour.
The US gov makes then public the possession of a new type of bomb. In the next 2 months, 2 where detonated on Berlin, Munich and in the battle of Bordeaux.
Then, retaliation followed, 9 atomic bombs had been sent to Oslo, from which they would be used against Moscow, eliminating Stalin, disorganising the Soviet-Union and the Red Army enough to give Operation Unthinkable a fair chance of success.
3 had been sent for studies, which left 6.
3 where brought to the US by transport submarine. There, agents in US uniforms and US military trucks would deliver them to as near the White House as possible and New York.
The 3 others where used in an all-out attack against London, the US governement swiftly declared that it was US atomic bombs that had been captured and used against the US but it had only a limited impact at that point, when the public expected new attacks.
Then, communist agents struck Los Alamos with a civilian aircraft-delivered bomb.
Eventually, WWIII ended far quicker than WWII, the Soviet-Union had an uncontested presence in europe, north africa and the middle-east. The Red Army retreated from Danemark, southern Italy, Portugal and Holland but these would remain neutral countries.
France and Spain, one with a good number of communists and the other much ressentement over the chemical bombardements of WWII, would become allies of the Soviet-Union.
Chinese communists obtained French Indochina and later occupied Thailand.
The RAF and USAAF bombers and fighter-bombers where excluded from India and Myanamar, where civil striff would rapidly errupt. Major cut-down of offensive military forces in Japan.
Political chaos reigned in the US and the UK after Truman and Churchill resigned.
The Soviet-Union detonated its first atomic bomb in spring 1948, in early 1949 a new governement takes power in Washington, which denounces not only the Soviet-Union but a conspiracy, a stab in the back from traitors at home. The new governement decides to sparre no expense at supporting the UK´s colonial possessions and secure the US from ennemies at home, massive militarisation.
4 years later, MacCarthy becomes president of the US, increasing militarisation even further and support new anti-communist governements taking power all across south and central america.
In 1954, US military forces in the UK moves against the local governement, the UK is fully annexed into the USA, Canada follows in 1955. Australian governement refuses to join the Union and declares UK atomic bombs in its territory Australian ones. Many harcore british nostalgics and pro-commonwealth immigrants arrives in Australia during the next years. Australian Imperialist Party is formed, advocating buying new territories in Indonesia and an union between Australia and New Zealand, automatic citizenship for all WASP who prooves loyalty to Canberra and the Queen.
1956, first satellites lauched, president Walt Disney

is elected on a platform of change and promise he will be less soft than president McCarthy.
1957, the States of England, Wales, Scotland and Irland officially joins the Union of North America. President Walt Disney begin full cooperation with Australia even if the Australians refuses annexion.
Beginning of the first waves of survivalist, christian fundamentalist immigration to the Union of South Africa, anyone in north america who is deemed lacking patriotism without facing prison is more or less forced to immigrate to the South African Union or face complete social exclusion.
1958, the US governement declares that all south and central american countries are to accept US military presence and if necessary, new governements appointed by Washington. All who refuses these conditions will found themselves in a state of war with the Union of North America.
When the news of a soviet probe landing on the moon comes out, President Walt Disney declares that the US shall have a fully working base on the moon within 10 years.
1959, Nuclear Power Act passes through Congress, construction rate of 20 nuclear stations a year in 1960 to 35 in 1970. Also, Disney began the construction of underground military cities that should be able to survive, even isolated, for decades should thermonuclear and/or biological war make the north american continent uninhabitable.
It was believed that the socialist bloc was already working or had completed such cities in mountainous regions of China, the Middle-East, Siberia and the Balkans, which would allow the communists to "take over" after WWIV.
Thus begin the crazy 60s.
