WI: Great Britain goes ahead with Operation Vegetarian

War is not White or Black / Good vs Evil
how Spoken George C. Scott in the movie Patton:
No man ever won a war by dying for his country. Wars were won by making the other poor bastard die for his.

let stay on my proposed POD:
that Goebbels announcement of "destructive retaliatory weapons", and the Allies get wrong conclusion he means Chemical or Bioweapon
what would Churchill do ? simple: win a war by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his first.
so from this point of view, Churchill is to forestall sth. the suspected Nazi "weapons of mass destruction" attack.
He know from intel report of unencrypted radio message of Wehrmacht and SS, what NAZI really donning in East Europe: MASS MURDER
So it's a natural conclusion that the NAZi would do same to Great Britain sooner or later
would a USA not involve in War of Europe, help this TL ? (POD: Hitler do Not declare War to USA)

This TL would be interesting "Diesel Desolation" scenario
Were World War 2 is not consider a "heroical battle against NAZI Evil"
but as "one bloody carnage, were the parties try to exterminate the other"

The picture show another way, how the Anthrax infection is transported on long distance

i know the picture show loading of geese into Ju-52, but also done with pigs, sheep, etc
 
Hmmmm...one more thing to change...
It's highly likely that Truman would have backed Churchill. However, one prominent US government politician would not have favored a genocidal approach...and he would be quite familiar with Anthrx and its effects. He already distrusted Churchill and the Tories. Perhaps he can gain more traction with this as an issue in 1948. I am of course referring to Presidential Candidate and former Agriculture Secretary Henry Agard Wallace.

your right about Truman, Orville
for Nazi "weapons of mass destruction" attack i had thought about this:

13 March 1943.
Oberst Henning von Tresckow put a bomb in Hitler Aircraft as the Führer visit Smolensk.
On the return flight the Condor explode and kill all on board,
as follows start battle in top of NSDAP, that end with Himmler & Goebbels in league.
Incriminated Göring that he and the British plot assassination of Adolf Hitler.
Later Göring was shot shortly after his sentenced.
the new Führer Himmler goes a harder line against the Soviets and order the use of poison gas on east front.
Churchill get the intel report...
 
So Thomas Dewey wins in 1948? There goes any shred of respect Wallace enjoyed in the US...
Personally, with Britain being our biggest ally in WWII and Churchill being persona non grata, I think Taft could easily win the nomination in '48- and perhaps victory. Truman would likely be remembered as slightly better than Hoover and Harding. Wallace and Taft's foreign policy views would likely be battling, both in 1948 and afterwards, but they would certainly be more popular than the current bipartisan consensus. (We could see a lot fewer wars in the world as a result...)
 
March, 1944
"Operation Vegetarian" goes ahead, millions of German and French civilians are killed and much of central Europe is rendered uninhabitable. Adolf Hitler, now almost a prisoner in his bunker, proclaims that this act will be avenged.

April, 1944
What remains of the Luftwaffe in a last ditch tit for tat effort launches an all-out suicidal air raid with nerve gas on London, Birmingham and Glasgow, Winston Churchill is killed in the gas raid on London when a Junkers Ju 88 smashes into the Cabinet War Rooms, bathing Whitehall with the deadly gas.

Not sure about the French, central Europe won't be rendered uninhabitable.

A similar attack was decimated in OTL, and that was only on London, they won't get much further north.
 
Winston Churchill is killed in the gas raid on London when a Junkers Ju 88 smashes into the Cabinet War Rooms, bathing Whitehall with the deadly gas.
So wait, a JU88 somehow ploughs through the structure of a sturdy building, through five feet of reinforced concrete, working its way through hardened sub divisions, whilst its deadly cargo still manages to not be consumed in the resulting fireball of burning fuel and debris and just happens to find Churchill sitting there on the lavatory, the cigar dropping from his mouth and uttering "well that's unsportin', those Jerry's using ASB to help them.":rolleyes:
 
The next government desperately trying to distance themselves from the event in the face of the commonwealths disgust at the poisoning or starving of millions. If Britain dosent put its own house in order then it will be a pariaha state cut off from all international trade, with the US calling in all debts, following the German collapse.

The same U.S. in which sending home pieces of Japanese war dead as souvenirs was fairly common?
 
But they wern't white, and didn't live in the same town grandad came from.

There was also a lot of anti-German sentiment in the United States, albeit not as severely as in WWI.

And there was a lot of Anglophilia too.

I doubt the U.S. would try to pull the plug out from under Britain in this scenario, especially if they've already been fighting together against the Nazis.
