World War Three 1946 Series Boxed Set: Stalin Strikes First

by Harry Kellogg

  July 28th, 1946 - The Red Army is stopped temporarily on the Pyrenees Line by a combination of US and Spanish divisions using the rugged terrain of this mountain range located on the border of France and Spain.

  Aug 2nd, 1946 - Italy is abandoned by the NATO Allies and all forces are pulled back to Sardinia.

  Aug, 15th, 1946 - The Soviet VVS demonstrates its newest aircraft by flying at great heights over the entire British Isles in an attempt to intimidate the British people. This demonstration proves that the entire British Isles can be attack from the air unlike the First Battle of Britain where the Luftwaffe was severely limited in range.

  August 17th, 1946 - The Strategic Air Command is formed with Curtis LeMay named as commander.

  August 20th, 1946 - The Soviet VVS continues a massive buildup of the Red Air Force on the Channel coast. It appears that a Second Battle of Britain is about to be fought.

  Timeline for Book Two

  Once again a few brave men would be asked to do the impossible over the skies of Great Britain. This time the enemy was not lead by a buffoon in the form of Herman Goring. The Red Air Force VVS was led by a master of strategy in the form of one Alexander Alexandrovich Novikov, the man who ruled the skies over Mother Russia, Manchuria, East Germany and now most of Europe.

  Sept. 1946 - Throughout the month of September the Soviet VVS feints and simulated massive air attacks on the Isles of Great Britain.

  Sept. 1st - The US Strategic Air Command or SAC, is created with Curtis LeMay named Commander.

  Sept. 15th, 1946 - From two different direction massive air raids consisting of 2056 Tu2s, Lag 7s, Yak 9DDs approach the southern and northeast coast of the British Isles. The RAF is unsure of the Soviet targets. The targets are the “bone yards” and maintenance facilities of the British. The unexpected choice of targets and the effectiveness of the raids leave the RAF with very few serviceable fighter aircraft and few repair facilities.

  Sept. 14th, 1946 - Scandinavia falls to a massive airborne assault.

  Sept. 25th – The Second Battle of Britain begins. The VVS suffers from none of the constraints that the Luftwaffe encountered.

  Using external drop tanks, the VVS planes have the range to hit every target in the British Isles.

  They outnumber the RAF by five to one.

  The RAF has very few replacement aircraft.

  The Soviet spy network is in full play. There is no lack of intelligence on the exact location of targets and the effects of their previous raids on those targets.

  The Soviets have used captured US jammers to spoof the vaunted “proximity or VT fuse”. During the first critical raids the RAF airbases are virtually defenseless.

  The effects are almost immediate with the RAF on the losing end of the battle.

  Within weeks the VVS is roaming freely over the British Isles and ravaging the transportation systems and storage depots of the RAF. Britain is virtually defenseless from air attack.

  Sept. 30th, 1946 - The Soviets publish, in Pravda, an article and picture of what appears to be an intact atomic bomb from the Leningrad raid. The crew and the Silverplate B-29 appear to be in the background. The inference is that the crew and bomb have defected to the Communist cause.

  Oct. 2nd - Four atomic bombs are dropped on the oil production facilities of the USSR. The B-29s were based in Egypt with their fighter escorts flying from bases in Turkey. These four bombs are the last of the atomic bombs in existence.

  Oct. 18th, 1946 – William Perl, Joel Barr and Alfred Sarant have all defected to the USSR and bring with them unimaginable intelligence on American and British weapons systems.

  Oct. 22nd, 1946 – The fast response by the VVS and the addition of the Stalin’s Fire SAMs start to deplete the B-29s of SAC.

  The Soviets attention is diverted, and the Second Battle of Britain and the Battle for Iberia are severely curtailed. Stalin and the Stavka prepare for an invasion of Turkey, Iraq, the oil fields of Kuwait and the Levant. Their ultimate goal is to capture Egypt and Gibraltar.

  Synopsis – Book 3 – The Red White & Blue – A Giant Re-Awakes

  Stalin and the Stavka are forced to invade Turkey to reach Egypt. The Cairo area is rife with US airbases which are raiding the Baku Oil Field region.

  On 25 November, 1946 the Red Army crosses the Turkish border in force. Within hours, both Turkish fronts collapse, as the Soviets use amphibious and paratroop units to by-pass the static defenses. Specialized units of the US and NATO armies are dispatched to advise the Turkish defenders and are caught up in the Stavka's Deep Battle tactics.

  The Soviets brush aside the Turkish defenders and close in on the Levant. Baghdad, Beirut and Jerusalem fall in turn. The Soviet forces are being led by Marshal Zhukov. The Soviets are poised to force the Suez Canal defended under the leadership of Sir Montgomery and the British 8th Army.

  The Giant of America has been re-awakened and a series of daring strategic attacks are planned.

  The Soviet Navy wrestles control of the Stalin's Fire Missile from Sergo and develops a guided anti-ship missile. Three unlikely American heroes discover the secret of the Soviet guidance system and assist the US Navy in "spoofing" the first generation of Soviet Anti-ship missiles.

  The initial, of four, well timed invasions takes place as US General Bull Dog Walker and the US First Army land in Trieste, Italy. They swiftly move inland to capture Vienna.

  The date is 25 May, 1947 and it has been a long cold winter in Europe. NATO makes the first move in what they hope is the final end game between communism and capitalism.
