The Red Sky: The Second Battle of Britain

The tap of military supplies was not turned off, nor could it be turned off quickly after VE-Day and the tanks, fuel and bullets just kept on coming. It was backlogged and in the pipeline of Victory ships stretching all the way back to the East Coast. Who knows what other equipment or classified weapons systems have been put in the hands of Stalin and the Red Army.

These depots were brimming with modern radar systems and other potentially valuable weapons that the Soviets had only dreamed of. The Soviets, through a series of French and German based spy networks, knew exactly what was in each depot and where they were located. During the initial stages of the war a combination of highly trained French Resistance fighters and Red Army Paratroopers took over these depots. They defended them with the weapons inside them for up to 2 weeks until they were relieved by the fast moving Red Army thus providing the invaders all the supplies they would need for months to come. Many American’s did not know that a large portion of our French Resistance comrades in arms were devout Communists.

UNDERESTIMATING THE SOVIET ARMY

The Joint Chiefs of Staff have consistently underestimated the capabilities of the Soviet armed forces. Report after report has been pushed through the ranks and then out to the newspapers and radio about how without Lend Lease the Soviet army would have lost to the German’s. How the US and British troops and planes won the war and how the Red Army was vastly inferior to our troops. New evidence suggests otherwise and a newly written report seen by this reporter proves it. The Red army conducted an attack named Operation August Storm near the end of the war that should have been a warning shot heard throughout the military establishment. In this virtually unknown and unreported military operation the Soviet Army demonstrated its prowess in the art of Blitzkrieg.

In an operation in Manchuria, China they were able to transport dozens of divisions and thousands of aircraft from the West over 3500 miles to confront the Japanese in the Far East. Demonstrating a supply capacity and technical abilities previously not thought possible. Yet when their skills in the art of logistics was amply demonstrated the Western military experts chose to ignore their accomplishments. They chose to ignore them with the predictable results we now seen in Europe.

In next week’s article we will explore the question of just where is the atomic bomb in this war? Where is the US bomber force that devastated Germany and Japan?

“We have to stop this reporter. I mean what the hell. What does he know?”

“We can’t just kill him. How about we put him on ice for a while until SAC starts its operations. By then the world will know.”

“We’ll have to get some high level juice behind us on this one.”

“I’ll call Ops and see when we can move on him and his files. We have to find out what he knows and delay this for a good 30 days.”
