Map- Final disposition of Allied and Soviet Forces immediately after Germany's defeat. Operation Unthinkable was Britain's plan for an all out attack on the Soviet Union by Allied forces, Churchill had held his fear of a communist take over in Europe almost since the war began against the Soviet Union. He simply could not accept a communist take over of the many nations they had originally fought for, mainly Poland. The initial goal of Operation Unthinkable was the and I quote "To impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire". The operation was to start on July 1st in the Dresden area of Germany, mainly opposing the center of the Soviet forces, it would involve 47 American and British divisions and ironically 100,000 Wehrmacht soldiers. However, the joint chiefs decided that an operation like that against the Soviets who held a 4:1 advantage in men and a 1:2 advantage in tanks would be absolutely suicidal. Operation Unthinkable was obviously and thankfully never put into effect but it certainly would have been a disaster for the allies. The world would have been a very different place...
