Operation Unthinkable: Churchill's plan for World War Three

Churchill's top secret plan to attack the Soviet Empire was
scheduled for 1 July 1945. British, US, Polish and German forces
were to attempt to liberate East Germany and Poland and bring
Stalin back to the conference table. If they did not succeed,
Allied forces would be sucked into a Third World War. How close
did Britain come to Armageddon in 1945?
