The winter war against Finland gave the allies an opportunity to open up a front against Russia

But that was contingent on getting permission from Sweden/Norway to land troops in Narvik

??? The allies??? Against Russia???

The brits believed in being able to fight a 2 front war in that regard

Yeah Operation Unthinkable wasn't it?

Since when did England go to war with Russia

It was a proposed plan Deus.

There we go

Maybe you need to check out Churchill's politics 😄

Second front inferred another already existed

Start there

Churchill was a warmonger I know but the second front threw me

There was another plan where the Valkyrie plotters kill Hitler, keep most of the conquered territory outside of Lebensraum and France, but they wanted a guarantee from the allies for support against Russia.

Churchill was down for this but FDR wasn't.

In any case, the brits were able to strike a deal with the labour government here. They'd walk in to Norway, behave themselves, and in return meet no resistance

So the war against Germany would've stopped instantly and both the reformed nazi reich I guess and the allies would turn on the USSR.

I can see FDR not being a fan, that’s a shame, that seems like an interesting timeline

But a table leg saved Hitler's life and FDR turned the deal down anyways.

Now, let's say you're Quisling, you're the... former I think, secretary of defence and one of your agents comes into your office and tells you about R4

Yeah FDR wanted unconditional surrender.

What do you do?

Kill commies?

That seems to be the proper solution to most problems

I like that one story about the British commandos being paradropped like weeks away from the Norweigan heavy water facility.

You hand over your country to the brits?

And how they barely fuckin survived making it up there.

I think that book is called The Winter Fortress?

Kek

Only one of them was fit enough to hunt at one point and he was chasing a reindeer for like 6 days.

The eastern front was a meme

So much for Anglo Saxons

What are you

Root

Besides gay

Derailing

Anyways, Quisling, not exactly being a genius but brave enough to take a side, decided to inform hitler about the brit's plans

And they mostly thought he was crazy, but drew up some plans just in case

Dude, reality is stranger than fiction.

Until they were able to have it independantly verified by an agent in Stockholm

Some of those WWII plans were fucking retarded.
