Tried to read the articall but it stank. This Hastings must have sat down that morning and pondered what he might write that would spin the crank of the nazifanbois. Churchill was suffering a bit from 'fatigue' by 1945. One of the several reasons Atlee replaced him that year. After retiring from the US Army Eisenhower was asked by interviewer about "the plan to fight the USSR". Ike replied that there was some talk about that from some politicians but no one took it very seriously. From that interview and other remarks by US officers like Bradley, Hodge, Devers it appears some proforma discussion was made and some staff officers assigned to make up a 'Plan' to show to the politician Ike refered to.
