Only that right after WW2, nuking the Soviets wouldn't have helped. The Red Army had Berlin, had shorter, and well established, supply lines, and the numbers. Nuking Moscow had caused WW3 right after WW2 ended, the Soviets woupd have ended up controlling Germany, and propably other countries. Because a hand full of small nukes wouldn't have been that decisive.
The are reasons Operation Unthinkable wasn't launched. But one has to admit, the anti-communist propaganda that united people from Patton, McCarthy all the way to former Wehrmacht Generals, still has long lasting effects even today.

- hef19898 3y agoCome again? You mean the self-grandizing, almost sacked twice, never really promoted anti-semite Patton? And the lying about flight ime to get decorations, life desteoying, actually sacked and rediculed McCarthy? But I'll bite, how exactly were those two individuals right about anything? Can ypu share some specific details?
